Greetings East Kingdom,

I, Sir Matthias Grunwald, have been selected as the Captain for the Rapier Melee Team for this upcoming Pennsic. Countess Marguerite Ingen Lachlainn and Don Robert Earlson have agreed to serve as my deputies.

We will be running drills for the Rapier Champions Melee team, which will serve two purposes. The first is to select those who will best represent the East Kingdom as a Champion, but the second is to help increase the already commendable melee prowess of the kingdom. To that end, all who have an interest in rapier melee are encouraged to participate throughout the season.

In general, if there is melee already planned at the event, we will be observing it. If not, we will look to run small scenarios and drills that fit within the Autocrat and MiC schedules. This list is not exhaustive and will likely be altered as the season goes on.

March 17th Central Region Regional Practice

March 30 – Mudthaw (If possible due to space)

April 27 – Balfar’s Challenge

April 28 Lochleven Spring Practice

May 25 – Panteria

May 25 – Wars of the Roses

June 8 – Southern Region War Camp

June 22– Les Beltaines

June 29 The Canterbury Campaign ~ Smoking Rocks Investiture

July 6 – Great Northern Thyng

It is not necessary to be at all of these events and practices, but these will be opportunities to test your skill, train yourself and others, and generally enjoy melee in the East Kingdom.

For coordination purposes, anyone interested in either general melee or the Rapier Melee champions is asked to fill in the contact form.. https://goo.gl/forms/xaWCVGD2E50AsR1x1

Please feel free to forward this message to any local lists or other social media.

If you have any relevant questions, please feel free to ask me(161952@members.eastkingdom.org) or the EK army staff by email(ekrapierarmy@gmail.com).

In service,

Sir Matthias Grunwald,

Pennsic Melee Rapier Champions Captain

The following is the report of Their Majesties East court, held in foreign lands, as sent to me by Joachim Liechtenauwer who did so witness:

In the forests of Gleann Abhann , on the 14th day of March A.S. LIII, known in the Common Era as 2019, Their Majesties, Wilhelm and Vienna joined many of the people of the East at Gulf Wars. There in a quaint courtyard, at 6:09 pm exactly, with the scent of schnitzel in the air, did Their Majesties hold a small court. Continue reading →

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 batch of backlog scrolls ready for delivery to their recipients.

Backlog scrolls will be available for pick-up in person at the Market Day at Birka in the Barony of Stonemarche. As I will not be able to attend, Baroness Marieta Charay will be the point of contact for pick-up and drop off of any scrolls for this event. She will be in the Expo Hall merchant area at the Kellswood Krafts booth coordinating backlogs from 1-3pm on Saturday. Anyone who has previous emailed me in the past week for a Birka pick-up is all set and your scroll is packed (not listed below).

Since I am not able to personally be at the event, it is required that an email be sent to the Backlog Deputy (backlog.deputy@eastkingdom.org) to confirm that you will be picking up a scroll so it can be packed for transport. More pickups will be organized as the year goes on. 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. If you want to arrange pick up outside of these events, please email the Backlog Deputy to discuss. All official communication must be done via email so please do not use social media messaging to discuss scrolls.

The following scrolls have been completed and are awaiting pick up:

*What is a backlog scroll? Sometimes an award is given out at a court and there is no scroll available to give the recipient. This could be due to transportation issues of the scroll or even that the royalty decided to grant a spur of the moment award to a deserving gentle. When this happens, the reign’s heraldic staff records this and sends it to the Signet staff in their court reports. The awards that should have had a scroll generated become backlogs and are assigned out to volunteer scribes to work on in between live assignments.
