Lilies Samra call for performers

Posted by

Greetings Kingdom of Calontir! It is with pleasure that I announce the Middle Eastern Samra to be held on the first Saturday of Lilies war at Sunset on the beach. Taking a page from al-Mahala, Cecelia and I are inviting Musicians and dancers to participate in Period Performances from all Middle Eastern cultures portrayed in the SCA. Please message or email me (December Montecino) decembermontecino@gmail.com if you are interested in performing as a musician or as a dancer. We plan on interspersing performances with free dance.

What is a Samra you ask? “’Samra’ in Arabic means a spontaneous celebration of dance and music. Originally the Arabic term ‘Samra’ was used to describe the noises made by the sounds of lively crowds and certain musical instruments, such as in a party or celebration.”

Thank you!

The Duvant Inn Fundraiser for The Falcons

Posted by

From Facebook, via The Castrum:

Greetings unto Calontir.

Many of us in Gleann Abhann were deeply saddend by the news of the horrible loss of your noble falcons. We also remember years ago when Hurricane Katrina ravaged our new kingdom how the fine people of Calontir came to our aid with all sorts of aid.

On the weekend of October 23rd to 25th the Baronies of Three Rivers and Grey Niche will be locked in a war at “The Castrum” in Lafe, AR. Our tavern on site will host a fund raiser with all proceeds going to help your fair kingdom once again have your proud falcons. I.D. will be required and a sign with a suggested donation will be visible. Bring your pouches full and your tankards and horns empty.

We have never forgot what you have done for us and we are now there for you. We will see you soon at the “Duvant Inn” that will be dedicated to Sir Francois Duvant in May at “Atheneaeum”
