Check Your Entry, Friends’ Entries, in the Calontir Order of Precedence

Posted by

Did you know that there are over 4,000 people listed in the Calontir Order of Precedence? Over 2,000 of those folks have multiple awards. While the keepers of the OP strive for accuracy, with the sheer number of entries over the course of the Kingdom’s existence there are bound to be errors or omissions. Maybe your name has changed or you have moved to another group. We are interested in any information that increases the accuracy of our OP. The link to the OP is: http://op.calontir.org/.

This is my quarterly entreaty to all Gentles of Calontir to check their OP record and report any errors or omissions. Email me at OPClerk@calontir.org with your proposed changes. I strive to make changes within 48 hours of receipt of your email.

Call for Cut & Thrust Marshals for Lilies War

Posted by

I know it seems like a long way off, but Lilies is only a little over 9 weeks away!

We have tournaments scheduled for Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings at 10 am. We have our traditional open field time from 1pm to 3pm every day. And we need C&T marshals for each of these. The Ladies of the Rose Tournament is on Thursday, and will likely need the most marshals. I could also use a drop-dead deputy.

Please contact me at rex.deaver at gmail dot com if you would be willing to schedule any of these times.

Sweets for the Sweet X Brewing Competition at Lilies!

Posted by

Hello Calontir!

I’d like to announce the return of:

Sweets for the Sweet!

TEN YEARS of sweet, syrupy alcohol just isn’t enough for the sweet ladies of Calontir!

Once again, the collected brewers of the Knowne World have the opportunity to win the hearts (and palates) of the lovely ladies who compare stout to motor oil, porter to swamp muck, and dry wine to harsh vinegar. Too long have these poor ladies sat in miserable sobriety! This must be cured!

All sweet alcohols are eligible — cider, wine, mead, beer, even cordials and liqueurs. (As usual, cordials and liqueurs should be based on a neutral store-bought spirit.) Any beverage you have personally produced may be entered.

Judging will be by a panel of sweet ladies of Calontir, with at least one experienced brewer for the more technical aspects. The judges will be looking for the following, in order:

1. Taste. Aim for the sweet spot.
2. Period ingredients.
3. Period brewing techniques.

Minimum documentation: an ingredient list, in case of allergies among the judges. More documentation is always better.

The competition is tentatively scheduled for the second Saturday, check the Lilies schedule for the definite time.

Please help me carry on this wonderful tradition, and help some sweet ladies get sweeter!

Thanks!

Blank Borders Scribal Competition at Lilies

Posted by

Hello Scribes!

Always wanted to help out the Kingdom by painting a GoA, but didn’t want to deal with a tight deadline? Well this is the competition for you!
Create a blank border for an award scroll in which text can be inserted later. Here are the parameters:
  • Must leave a space for text no smaller than 7”x10” in and at least 1/4″ in edge margins.
  • Must include a space/circle for the award (if you would like it to go for a specific award, which might help you tailor your illuminations, you may paint it in).
  • (Optional) A space for the device of the person receiving the award, so it can be personalized.
At the end of the competition all entries will be given to the Crown as largess, so make sure to take pictures/scan your Blank Borders before you go to war! These borders help TRM out by being on hand when they want to award a Grant on short notice, which also keeps the pressure off the scribes.
Judging will be based upon Kingdom Criteria for illumination (to be found on the A&S website), and basic documentation (3”x5” card) is required, but more documentation is always better! (If you cannot be at war on competition day, but would still like to enter, your border may be delivered by someone else in your stead.)
The competition is tentatively scheduled for the Second Saturday morning. Please check your Lilies schedule for the definite time and location.  
Please help TRM and enter your Blank Borders!
