Allegories, Myths and Saints Costume Show at Kris Kinder

Posted by

Greetings unto the Populace of Calontir,

The Barony of Forgotten Sea will be holding a Costume Show based upon the theme of “Allegories, Myths, and Saints”. Often in Medieval Illuminations, ideas and allegories are personified in costumes that do not reflect what people actually wore. Saints, gods, and historical figures are also often shown in fantastical costumes. However, these costumes are intriguing and appealing to SCA folks precisely because they are atypical. So, let your creativity fly, and come dressed in garb that is inspired by the allegories, myths and saints of the Middle Ages. I look forward to seeing all the inspired garb.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at artsandsciences@bfs-kc.org. Below are a couple of examples.

YIS,

Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury,

BFS Arts and Science Minister

When and Where:  Kris Kinder, Dec.  14th in the Barony of Forgotten Sea. Time TBA

Marie Chantal Delaire Made Extraordinary Herald at Valor

Things that happened in Vatavia this weekend: a post from Gold Falcon.

On August 30th at the Tournament of Valor, I made Her Excellency Marie Chantal Delaire a Herald Extraordinary for her service to Vatavia, the Southwestern region of Calontir, and Calontir’s College of Heralds for the past two decades. This allows her the use of a personal heraldic title and recognizes her as a senior member of the College.

More can be seen here regarding the post and the scroll text, and I believe there will be photos of Her Excellency being so recognized.

Vivat Marie Chantal Delaire, our newest Herald Extraordinary!

Call for Heralds for Valor XXV

Posted by

THL Johann posted this request to the Kingdom of Calontir group on Facebook:

 

Good heralds all,

I will be posting this request in at least one other forum, and I ask that you please spread the word on regional(Baronial) message boards as well.

Valor 35 is coming up in less than 2 weeks, and we will need voice heralds to assist with camp announcements and with list heralding. Saturday, we are slated to have a man-at-arms tournament in the morning, and Sunday will be back-to-back tournaments with Cut & Thrust followed by the traditional Tournament of Valor. All three of these tournaments will require list heralds, and I certainly can’t do them all myself. I will arrange gifts for those heralds who help with the tournaments.

Camp announcements will be done twice daily on Saturday and Sunday. Morning cries will begin prep at 8 AM with the camp heralds beginning their rounds at 8:30. Saturday’s second announcements will be prepped at noon and delivered at 12:30; Sunday’s second announcements will be prepped and delivered once the Tournament of Valor concludes. The notebook where people can write down their announcements will be at the Gate table, prominently displayed.

To encourage camp crier volunteers, for every camp cry you show up at to help, your name will be put into a drawing. Thus, if you participate in all four camp cries, you get four entries into the drawing. Sunday evening in the Great Hall, I will draw one of those names from the hat, and the winner gets a special prize! (For those camp cry volunteers over 21, the prize may involve spiced wine. However, junior camp criers are also welcome, and there will be a non-alcoholic prize arranged in the event that an under-21 herald’s name is drawn, or if the winner is just not a fan of wine.)

Book heralds are more than welcome; HE Marie Chantal will have a consultation table in the air-conditioned Great Hall, and I know she would love to have company and assistance during the event.

I hope to see as many of you as possible this upcoming Labor Day weekend! Ever in service,
Johann
Heraldic organizer for Valor 35

Calontir acceptances

Rodrigo Hernández of Vatavia. Name.
Vatavia is the registered name of an SCA branch.

Sofya la Rus. Name change from Sofya Rous and device change. Gules, an owl rising wings displayed argent.
The submitter’s previous name, Sofya Rous, is released.
This device is not in conflict with the device of Owain of Corn Valley: Gules, a peregrine falcon rising wings displayed Or maintaining in both talons a halberd bendwise sable There is a DC for tincture of the bird and, by precedent, there is a DC for the type of bird:

This does not conflict with Eve Nightstalker Azure, an owl striking Or, beaked and membered argent, orbed sable. I am hereby overturning the precedent declaring that raptors are raptors. Falcons and owls were different charges in period and have differing outlines; therefore we are allowing a CD (although not substantial difference) between them. For a fuller discussion see the cover letter. [Wojciech Bobrowski, Azure crusilly formy argent, a falcon rising wings addorsed maintaining a horseshoe inverted Or., 01/2000 Atlantia-A]

This device is not presumptuous of Nemanji{c’}i, Kings of Serbia Kings of Serbia , Gules, a double-headed eagle crowned argent, or Poland , Gules, an eagle displayed argent crowned Or. In both cases there is a DC between displayed and rising wings displayed, and another DC for the type of bird.
This device does not conflict with the badge of Widsith Devona of Exmoor: Per bend sinister sable and vert, a snowy egret rising wings displayed argent There is a DC for the field and another DC for the type of bird between owl and snowy egret.
Her old device, Gules semy of acorns Or, an owl argent, is retained as a badge.

The submitter has withdrawn this name.
