A message from the Backlog Deputy of the Tyger Clerk of the Signet

Greetings!  I’m Æsa feilinn Jossursdottir (known by most as Feilinn), your Backlog Deputy. I have another round of backlog scrolls ready for delivery to their recipients.

Backlog Scrolls can be picked up at Great Northeastern War in Malagentia this weekend.  I will be in the barn on Saturday between 11am and 12:30pm near the A&S display.  

It is strongly suggested to email the Backlog Deputy (backlog.deputy@eastkingdom.org) to confirm that you will be picking up a scroll.  Local landed Barons/Baronesses and Seneschals are encouraged to pick up scrolls on behalf of members in their local groups if they know the recipient and the recipient cannot make these events.  More pickups will be organized as the year goes on. If you want to arrange pick up outside of these events, please email the Backlog Deputy (backlog.deputy@eastkingdom.org) to discuss.  

The following scrolls have been completed and are awaiting pick up. Continue reading →

Tournaments Illuminated Quest Article Request

≈ Comments Off on Tournaments Illuminated Quest Article Request

Our upcoming Quest article is “Event Lighting at Night”.

At Society events, night can have its own magic; darkness masks many a 21st C silhouette and pushes the modern world even further away. Torchlight tourneys are a beloved tradition and the flicker of flames from campfire and lantern casts a more timeless glow on faces, clothes and gear. But in this day and age where live flame is highly restricted at many a venue and sometimes forbidden entirely, how do you provide safe and sufficient lighting at nighttime and observe site rules without losing that Society period feel? Share your knowledge (in 300 words or less); send your best suggestions to tieditor@sca.org and they may be included in the 3rd Quarter 2019 issue of Tournaments Illuminated. If you would like to share a photo, write and ask for image specifics.

SCA shield logoThe Board of Directors is accepting applications from participants interested in being a part of the 2020 Census Committee.

The mandate/scope of the committee is to design and prepare questions for the 2020 SCA Census, to launch and administer the census, and to analyze and report on findings based on the census data collected. It is anticipated that the 2020 SCA Census will be based in large part on the 2010 SCA Census, with the addition of questions related to issues currently of interest in the Society.

Applicants should be broadly familiar with all aspects of SCA culture and represent a diversity of opinions/backgrounds. They must be willing to work collaboratively with other Committee members and the Board of Directors. Experience in conducting and analyzing surveys and polls is useful, but not a prerequisite.

Applicants should direct a resume and a letter of application to resumes@sca.org. Deadline for applications is July 18, 2019.

Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to:

On Sunday, word was received in the Kingdom that Lord Seamus Mac Neachtain, of the Shire of Owlsherst, has passed away. An imposing figure on the field, he was as well known for his generosity, kindness, and leadership as he was for his martial prowess.

Lord Seamus was currently serving the Kingdom as the Captain of HRH Margarita’s guard, and was the only unbelted fighter that advanced to the final 8 combatants in the most recent East Kingdom Crown Tournament. He was widely-respected as the Armored Combat Commander for the Southern Army, leading the South to the prestigious Blue Tyger Legion at Pennsic 47, and he was a three-time member of the unbelted East Kingdom Armored Combat melee team. A squire to Count Ruslan, he was a member of House Gleipnirvirki, fighting as part of the Hrafnox unit. Continue reading →
