Chivalry Social at Lilies

Chivalry Social
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Do you ever ask yourself…

  • How does he throw that shot?
  • How can I get more spear kills?
  • Why do I keep getting hit in the ____?
  • How I can I fight, win and act in an honorable and chivalric manner?

When : Sunday June 15

  • 10:30 (following morning court) One on one instruction with the knights of the known world
  • 12:30 Broken field battle, practical application of skills learned, unlimited res. No weapons restriction. Instructional field stays open for the duration

Who: Fighters of ALL skill levels

Where: battle field

On the first Sunday the Order of the Chivalry is dedicating themselves to helping you improve your fighting. Starting with one-on-one instruction, you can train the skill of your choice with the Chiv of your choice. Follow that up with some direct application in an unlimited resurrection battle, or keep participating in one-on-one training.

It’s your call on what you want. Looking for some pointers on your stance? Want some help with other parts of your fighting? Or do you want to go a few rounds of “A-Game” with Duke Speedy McThunderStick? Do you just want to wait a bit and jump in the unlimited resurrection battle and bash around with your friends? The chivalry will stay out there as long as someone wants to keep fighting and learning!

April LOAR Results

From Gunnar Thorisson, Vert Hawk Herald:

CALONTIR acceptances:

  • Hadassah filla de Solomó. Device. Per bend Or and vert, a pithon contourny vert and an arm embowed bendwise sinister proper, a chief bendy sinister vert and Or.
  • Kýlan gylðir. Name change from Killian of Amlesmore. The submitter’s previous name, Killian of Amlesmore, is released.
  • Mór Bhallach inghean Domhnaill. Device change. Lozengy argent and gules, a cross of Saint Brigid and on a chief sable two flames argent. There is a step from period practice for the use of a cross of Saint Brigid. The submitter’s previous device, Argent, in pale three crosses of Saint Brigid sable, a dexter tierce indented gules, is retained as a badge.
  • Ximena Echeberria. Name and device. Gules, a bordure argent semy of saltorels azure. Nice device!

CALONTIR returns:

  • Rafe le Mountere. Device. Per pale sable and gules, two Celtic crosses and a mountain of three peaks argent. This device is returned for redraw for violating SENA A2C2 which states “Elements must be drawn to be identifiable.” Precedent says: The so-called “Celtic” cross is not. A Celtic cross is a specific type of cross, which has tapering arms. Adding an annulet to any particular type of cross does not automatically make it a Celtic cross. This “crosshair” depiction of a cross is not acceptable. [Sadb ingen Chonchobair, R-Atlantia, January 2010 LoAR]

In Memoriam – Demetrios il Condottiero

Posted by

Demetrios Misthophoros (aka Demetrios il Condottiero aka Dr. Henry Marks) passed away on Monday
in the Kingdom of An Tir where he had resided since his retirement.

Demetrios was a Master of the Laurel. He was one of the founders and
first Guild Master of the Calontir Cooks Guild. He is probably best
known for loving a good discussion and the wearing of “earth tones.”.
He loved to challenge folks to do better research, to be a better
person. He wanted to know the why as well as the how it was done in
medieval times. He was well traveled – having been to Greece and the
Galapagos Islands (just two of the places that I can remember hearing
about.)

When in Calontir he lived in the Barony of Vatavia, but was claimed as
a member by the Barony of Mag Mor.

Mundanely, he was a director of a treatment facility until he retired.
At which time he moved to An Tir and began writing and publishing
several books. His best known book (now out of print) was Byzantine
Cuisine.

May his journey to the afterlife be filled with joy and bounty
