Posted by

From Gunnar Thorisson, Vert Hawk Herald:

CALONTIR acceptances:

  • Hadassah filla de Solomó. Device. Per bend Or and vert, a pithon contourny vert and an arm embowed bendwise sinister proper, a chief bendy sinister vert and Or.
  • Kýlan gylðir. Name change from Killian of Amlesmore. The submitter’s previous name, Killian of Amlesmore, is released.
  • Mór Bhallach inghean Domhnaill. Device change. Lozengy argent and gules, a cross of Saint Brigid and on a chief sable two flames argent. There is a step from period practice for the use of a cross of Saint Brigid. The submitter’s previous device, Argent, in pale three crosses of Saint Brigid sable, a dexter tierce indented gules, is retained as a badge.
  • Ximena Echeberria. Name and device. Gules, a bordure argent semy of saltorels azure. Nice device!

CALONTIR returns:

  • Rafe le Mountere. Device. Per pale sable and gules, two Celtic crosses and a mountain of three peaks argent. This device is returned for redraw for violating SENA A2C2 which states “Elements must be drawn to be identifiable.” Precedent says: The so-called “Celtic” cross is not. A Celtic cross is a specific type of cross, which has tapering arms. Adding an annulet to any particular type of cross does not automatically make it a Celtic cross. This “crosshair” depiction of a cross is not acceptable. [Sadb ingen Chonchobair, R-Atlantia, January 2010 LoAR]

In Memoriam – Demetrios il Condottiero

Posted by

Demetrios Misthophoros (aka Demetrios il Condottiero aka Dr. Henry Marks) passed away on Monday
in the Kingdom of An Tir where he had resided since his retirement.

Demetrios was a Master of the Laurel. He was one of the founders and
first Guild Master of the Calontir Cooks Guild. He is probably best
known for loving a good discussion and the wearing of “earth tones.”.
He loved to challenge folks to do better research, to be a better
person. He wanted to know the why as well as the how it was done in
medieval times. He was well traveled – having been to Greece and the
Galapagos Islands (just two of the places that I can remember hearing
about.)

When in Calontir he lived in the Barony of Vatavia, but was claimed as
a member by the Barony of Mag Mor.

Mundanely, he was a director of a treatment facility until he retired.
At which time he moved to An Tir and began writing and publishing
several books. His best known book (now out of print) was Byzantine
Cuisine.

May his journey to the afterlife be filled with joy and bounty

Posted by

First, thank you to everyone who participated in the Youth Fundraiser at Horse and Falcon. Monies were raised and will be used for Youth and Teen activities!

Second for those who promised to help or provide supplies for Lilies Youth and Teen activities– thank you. We cannot provide meaningful activities without your support!

Third, for those who would like to contribute and are unsure how to help, here are some suggestions:

  • Packages of cookies.
  • Sturdy shoe boxes or photo boxes.
  • Packages of hot dogs, bags of chips, 2 liter bottles of pop, containers of Gatorade, or packages of glow sticks.

If you could purchase and donate one or two of these items and let us know prior to Lilies that it will be there then we can spend the money raised on other supplies. Drop your donations off at the Youth Tent, and please include a little note.

Please understand that all gestures of support are appreciated, and with everyone helping it does not burden any one person.

Thank you on behalf of the youth and teens!

From Laurel Staff: Silent Heraldry Deputy chosen

Posted by

Posted on Facebook:

The Laurel, Wreath, and Pelican Sovereigns of Arms, in combination with Clarion Herald, have reviewed the applications for the recently created position, Silent Herald Deputy. We received applications from several highly qualified candidates, making this a difficult decision.

We would like to thank all those who applied – though we could only choose one candidate, we are pleased to see such a strong pool of heralds dedicated to furthering silent heraldry in the SCA. After careful consideration, we have chosen Nesscia inghean Chearnaigh to take on this job.

We will be working with Nesscia to get her established in this role, and we know she will be asking for help from silent heralds around the known world to work on integrating silent heraldry to become more of a part of the SCA. Please welcome her in this (very) new office.

Greetings Calontir,
Just a reminder of the A and S competition at Horse and Falcon’s this weekend. Can’t wait to see the entries.

Camping season, and Liliies War, is fast approaching.
To celebrate authenticity in our campsites, at Horse and Falcon, the Barony of Forgotten Sea will sponsor an Arts and Science competition with the theme of “Period” Encampment. Any item used to increase the Medieval authenticity of your encampment is eligible for the competition. This could include “period” tents, furniture, lighting, cooking facilities, etc. Big or small, if the items improves the “period” nature of your encampment, please enter it.

Two prizes will be awarded – one for populace vote and one for Judges Choice.

Documentation is required, and should include a simple explanation of what the item is and how it is used in your encampment. Documentation should also include the time period and region your item is from.

YIS,

Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury
Barony of Forgotten Sea Minister of Arts and Sciences
