What is al-Mahala?

Gulf Wars XXII presents a magical opportunity for the SCA re-enactor to explore the widest possible range of historical activities. This twenty plus year tradition of rich diversity of topics is well represented within the microcosm of al Mahala, offering classes in cuisine, music, dance, garb, arts and sciences of not only The Levant, the Arabian Peninsula and Persia, but also India, Andalusia; Ottoman and Silk Road regions as well…

Lily vs. Lion Arts and Sciences Competition at Chieftains

Announcing the Lily vs. Lion Arts and Sciences Competition at Chieftains, sponsored by the Lilies War.

To be held at Chieftains, a fine competition to display both your patriotism to your chosen side at Lilies, and the creative endeavors our kingdom creates through presentation of either a lily or a lion in any medium. Minimum documentation is a 3×5 index card identifying your piece, country of origin, and time period. Use of the Lilies 100 Years War theme and additional information on your piece creation is encouraged but not required.

Will you serve the French through your representation of a lily or show the worth of Englishmen through your creation of a lion?

Last Call for Submissions to The Calon Scrolls

Last call for submissions for the spring issue of The Calon Scrolls. The deadline is Jan. 20.

The Scrolls is our kingdom’s arts and sciences magazine. The link to the publication is http://calonscrolls.calontir.org/

Some of you may have noticed that The Scrolls hasn’t been published for a year. That is because I have only received one submission in that time.
So PLEASE, if you have an article, book or movie review or done documentation about an SCA-related topic, please submit it to the Scrolls.
Any submissions that would be of interest to SCA members are welcome. SCA related art and imagery is also appreciated.

I would really like to get back to a quarterly publication schedule for The Scrolls, but I can only do that if I have content.

You may contact me at CalonScrolls@calontir.org

Feel free to cross-post to any other kingdom related pages, newsgroups, etc. as you may see fit.

Royal Gift Exchange at Gulf Wars

From Her Highness Isabeau, via Facebook:


We have received word that we will be giving gifts to Ansteorra for the gift exchange at Gulf Wars. If anyone would like to make something special to put into the gift basket please let me know. Their preferences and personal heraldry can be found here. http://crown.ansteorra.org/

While kingdom colors are good, often We prefer to gives gifts with personal heraldry and colors, so that the items can be kept by the royals rather than going into regalia.

The web flyer for Autumn Arrows is up on the shire of Calanais Nuadh website and Facebook event page has been posted.
