From the Brigantia Principal Herald of the East and the East Kingdom Minister of the Lists:
The time has once again come for the selection of the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, Heirs to the Throne of the Kingdom of the East. This glorious day does not happen spontaneously. It requires many hands and many feet. I applaud the good people of the Province of Ostgardr for the work they have done, and will continue to do, for this event.
That being said, the tournament doesn’t run on the event support staff alone. The Heralds and Ministers of the Lists will need assistance running the actual tournament. If you wish to volunteer to get a front row seat to some of the best fighting of the Spring and a view into the inner workings of running large tournaments please volunteer to be a List Runner, MoL, or Herald for the event.
If you wish to be a List Runner or a Herald for the event please contact Ryan, Brigantia Principal Herald of he East. If you wish to assist the Minister of the Lists please contact Sabina, East Kingdom Minister of the Lists.

The autocrats of the East Kingdom’s Spring Crown Tourney this year, having a site that allows plenty of space for fighters, have added a fighting activity that should appeal to all the chivalrous fighters in the East: a Rose Tournament
What is a Rose Tournament? It’s a tournament where fighters pair up as they choose, and the winner gets to tell the loser to go give a rose from the queen to the lady or lord of the winner’s choice. This is not only a chivalrous way to tell someone you think they are special, but it’s a great way to add an extra fighting experience for those who do not want to compete in Crown, or are eliminated in early rounds. Plus, you get to meet and speak to our gracious queen, currently our Princess Kiena.
The rapier community can also take part in this with their own Rose Tourney. So, even if you are not fighting in Crown, come to the event. You will have a wonderful extra tournament to participate in!
Questions about the Rose Tourney can be directed to Lady Lilie

As the topic of the language change around the Inspirational Equality debate heats up around the East Kingdom, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has responded here and on Facebook and commend the civility and courtesy with which you have replied. I expect nothing else of our readership, but when an issue is contentious, it sometimes takes restraint to be able to maintain a conversational tone. You have done that and this reporter, Countess Marguerite,thanks you. Additionally, the board has clarified with the East Kingdom Gazette that they are maintaining 2 sets of comment periods for the 2 language changes. The original comment period for the sentence: “Each competitor in a Royal List must be fighting for a prospective consort of the opposite sex unless the Crown has elected to permit a competitor to fight for a prospective consort of the same sex.” will end on December 1st, 2012. Comments on this replacement wording can be sent to the BoD in an email to comments@sca.org with “Same-Gender Consort Proposal” in the subject line. A decision about whether section IV, B. of Corpora will be changed to contain this language will be made after the end of the comment period. The new sentence: “No one may take part in the list as both competitor and also consort“, has a different comment period. Per Lisa May, Countess Margaret Ni Conner, it will last for at least 60 days after the Board Meeting. Again, comments can be sent to comments@sca.org. It is suggested you use a different subject line in the email to clarify that you are talking about sentence two. A common sense suggestion is to use the subject line “Same-Gender Consort Proposal: Additional Wording”. Regardless of your position, it is important that you make it known to the BoD by contacting them directly, and we appreciate your continuing to maintain the thoughtful, courteous tone of the debate we have had so far in your missives.
Thank you for helping to shape our society.

After Gregor was crowned Prince, he addressed the crowd. He said that the previous day had been his fiftieth birthday and he could think of no better present than to make this woman who changed his life princess of the East.
