Mistress Rhianydd Arbeth, Calontir’s Visual Historian

Mistress Rhianydd Arbeth began photographing Calontir before she was even a member of the SCA. Working at Washburn University of Topeka in 1980 she was introduced to the SCA by a friend, and went to a demo at Lake Shawnee with her 110 camera. Asked by some of her new friends if she would like to go to an event, she agreed — and their next question was “Great! Can we take your car?”

Initially Rhianydd would take packets of pictures to events to let people see them. But when Lorell asked if he could get a copy of his picture, she realized she needed to be more organized. Thus was born the tables of photo albums that were a fixture at events for many of us for years, all carried by Rhianydd to every event she attended.

Now of course the albums are electronic, but the memories are every bit as important. And thankfully Mistress Rhianydd Arbeth is still recording them and making them available for Calontiri now and in the future.

You can find Mistress Rhianydd’s work on Flickr, or by following the Community, Web Gallery links on the Calontir.org website.

January 2014 LOAR Results Are In

From the Calontir list:

Greetings to All,

The results for the January 2014 LOAR are in and are listed below.

The Armorial and Saker website have been updated to reflect the items in this LOAR.

In Service,

CALONTIR acceptances

* Cesare di Lodovico Malefici. Name.
Submitted as Cesare de Lodovico Malefici, a timely correction was made by the submitter, allowing the College to consider the correct name.
The submitter requested authenticity for 15th century Florentine. The source used to document the elements did not precisely date them. It is considered likely, however, that this name meets that request.
* Drust Loc. Badge. (Fieldless) On a tortoise azure a triquetra argent.
* Emme Ziegler. Name change from Am{i-}ra bint Timurhan and device change. Argent, a swallow displayed guardant azure, on a chief sable three mullets of seven points argent.
Appearing on the Letter of Intent as Emma Ziegler, a timely correction corrected the spelling of the given name.
The submitter’s previous name, Am{i-}ra bint Timurhan, is retained as an alternate name.
Her previous device, Per bend sinister wavy argent and azure, a bird volant to sinister chief and another volant to dexter base counterchanged, is released.
There is a step from period practice for the use of a non-eagle displayed.
* Freygeirr Finnsson. Name and device. Per saltire sable and purpure, in annulo four ravens striking in annulo argent.
Submitted as Freygeirr Finnrson, the submitter specifically allowed the correction to the spelling of the patronym to Finnsson.
There is a step from period practice for the use of charges in annulo not in their default palewise orientation.
* Gregorii Vladimir Borondinskii. Name.
* Lonely Tower, Barony of the. Order name Order of the Keystone of the Lonely Tower.
Submitted as Order of the Keystone of the Barony of the Lonely Tower, commenters could not find evidence of this use of phrases like Barony of X in period order names. Thus, we have dropped that section of the name with the permission of the submitters in order to register the name.
This order name was pended from the August 2013 Letter of Acceptances and Returns.
* Vincent de Vere. Name and device. Gules, on a fess azure fimbriated three mullets Or.

CALONTIR returns

* Gabriel andvaka Kjotvason. Badge for alternate name Andrea Auditore da Venezia. Sable, a bend sinister cotised between two roses argent.
This badge is returned for conflict with the device of Bruno de Brest, Sable, a bend sinister cotissed between a bear paw fesswise contourny and a bear paw fesswise argent. There is a DC for the change in type of secondary charges, but nothing else.

Device and badge submissions can now be colored with color printer or color copier

Unto all who may read this message, Greetings from Dorcas Gold Falcon. I hope this message finds you well

In the beginning of August, I announced a trial of accepting electronically colored submissions of devices in addition to those colored with Crayola markers. Brigida Saker has reported that in the months since that announcement, there have only been a couple of items that weren’t acceptable.

Since the trial has been a success, the Saker office will permanently accept electronically colored device and badge submissions. However, Saker still has the flexibility to return items that are difficult to read, mis-colored, don’t upload to OSCAR accurately, or have other problems caused by the fact that they came from a color printer or copier. Of course, Saker will continue to accept submissions that are hand colored, using Crayola “Classic” markers, or their equivalent. Saker will still NOT accept forms colored with crayons, colored pencil, or paint.

As a side note, the required number of copies of a badge or device form changed last fall. A complete submission must include 1 color and 1 uncolored line drawing copies, plus 1 copy of supporting documentation.

I hope this “technology upgrade” makes it easier to create your heraldic submissions.

In service,

Dorcas, Gold Falcon
