Greetings,

I am happy to announce that Lord Eginhard d’Aix la Chapelle has accepted the position of Tir Mara Regional Deputy Chancellor Minor. He is very excited to begin and make sure that all of the Tir Maran region is following the rules and regulations set down by society and kingdom. He is also happy to translate any concerns, questions, or comments from French to English and back for me. If you are in Tir Mara, and interested in working with children, please contact him. His kingdom email will be working shortly.

In addition, I am sad to announce that Baroness Wentlyana must step down as my Kingdom Deputy, as she has accepted the Kingdom Deputy Youth Fencing Marshal Position. I am looking for someone to fill this position. I would especially like to find someone who would be interested in taking on the Kingdom position in the next 1-2 years.

Thank you,
Mistress Leonete D’Angely
East Kingdom Chancellor Minor

Dans un autre ordre d’idée, je suis triste d’annoncer que la Baronne Wentlyana quitte son poste de Député Chancelière du Royaume de l’Est ayant accepté la position de Député Marechal d’Escrime à la Jeunesse pour le Royaume. Je suis maintenant à la recherche d’une personne prête à prendre l’office de Député Chancelier de la Jeunesse pour le Royaume. Je suis particulièrement intéresser à trouver une personne désirant devenir Chancelier à la jeunesse du Royaume dans un an ou deux.

Merci

≈ Comments Off on New Kingdom Youth Rapier Deputy

Unto the Kingdom of the East do I, Master Frasier MacLeod send greetings!

I am writing you today to announce a change among my Deputies. Don Alfonso Pontelli has made the difficult decision to step down as my Kingdom Deputy for Youth Rapier, and I would like to take this opportunity to pass on the heartfelt thanks of myself and all those in the Kingdom he helped and for all the hard work he put in to making Youth Rapier go.

After some consideration, I have decided his replacement will be Lady Wentlyanna Bengrek. Lady Wentlyanna comes to the position with some great ideas and a drive to continue building Youth Rapier in the East. I would ask you all to give her all the support you can muster while she gets her feet under her in her new position.

Also, serving as Lady Wentlyanna’s Deputy will be Lord Christoffel d’Allaines leComte. Lord Christoffel also comes to the job with a fantastic resume behind him and will serve as diligently and with the same dedication Lady Wentlyanna will. I am looking forward to working with both of the outstanding individuals.

In Service,

Master Frasier MacLeod, KRM, East

Shire Wars will be held October 16 to 18, 2015, in the incipient Shire of Archer’s Ford (mundanely Jonestown, PA). Thane Alexander Makcristyne has written this description of the planned activities. Please visit the event announcement for more information.

archersforddeviceFor the past five years the Westernmost Shire of the Southern Region has been getting together and holding an event known as Shire Wars. This year things are little different, in that more Shires and the Barony of Bhakail have joined the event to make it even larger. This year this Shires of Montevale, Blak Rose, Owlsherst, Silver Rylle, Hartshorn-Dale, Buckland Cross, and Archer’s Ford (incipient) have joined up to challenge Bhakail and any ally she may bring to a David vs Goliath type themed event. But who is David and who is Goliath? Well, that is for you, the Good People of the East Kingdom, to find out by coming to the event. Root for your favorite side or join that side, whichever you prefer. But, wait! There have been rumors that invasion may happen from the South and from the West, since the Southern region is engaged with itself and not protecting the Southern and South Western Boarders. For this reason, their Highnesses, rightful heirs to the Crown, are coming to this event to find out what is going on and further help protect this great Kingdom. Will there be battle between the Shires and Bhakail, or will there be a raid where Bhakail and the Shires join forces behind their King and push back the invaders?

There will be field battles of Heavy Weapons and Fencing as well as tournaments for both. Tournaments for Thrown Weapons, Archery, Atlatl and A&S will also be held. There are also going to be youth activities, such as Youth Fencing and Youth Heavy Weapons. The gentler side such as A&S will have Classes to keep the minds of those interested in the arts churning with new ideas. This all ends with a Court shortly followed by a great feast and dancing. So please come and have a good time with us!

≈ Comments Off on Update From the Earl Marshal Regarding Combat for Under 18 Years

Greetings unto the East Kingdom,

Pennsylvania Child Protective Act

After a productive conference call with the Society Seneschal and the Society Earl Marshal I am confident that we will have written guidance in the next few days, for dissemination, that will allow for full participation by the East Kingdom in Pennsylvania in all activities under the Office of the Earl Marshal.  I do not want to paraphrase or misquote anyone, but I will say that everyone can rest assured that this should not cause a disruption for more than a few more days and once we have the written guidance we can return to business as usual with direction of who must and how to comply with Pennsylvania law.

Baron Sir Jibril al-Dakhil,
Earl Marshal of the East Kingdom

Greetings to the Families of the East Kingdom,

Due to the child protection laws going into effect in Pennsylvania on July 1st, all formal youth activities in the state of PA must cease until the SCA makes a definitive ruling on how this law effects our youth activities. Family activities with parental supervision may still occur in PA. I will make a more specific ruling about Pennsic in the coming days. Please contact me with any questions.

From the Earl Marshal Regarding Youth Combat and Play

≈ Comments Off on From the Earl Marshal Regarding Youth Combat and Play

Greetings Unto the East Kingdom,

Youth Play and Combat

If the youths are old enough to be in any of the youth divisions and are conducting sword fighting at an SCA event – a cornerstone of which is sword fighting – then it needs to comply with the requirements of youth combat regardless of whether the weapons are constructed at home or commercially constructed.   This includes proper armor, technique, safety and a youth marshal.  The youth marshal shall then determine if the “nerf” sword complies with standards for the appropriate division before any contact between youths.

Yours in Service,
Baron Sir Jibril al-Dakhil,
East Kingdom Earl Marshal

From the Earl Marshal Regarding Combat for Under 18 Years

≈ Comments Off on From the Earl Marshal Regarding Combat for Under 18 Years

Greetings Unto the East Kingdom,

Pennsylvania Child Protective Act
One of the first things I heard about upon taking this position in January 2015 was the change in Pennsylvania law. I was informed we would get guidance from the BoD. That has not happened to date.

In the event that legal guidance is not provided that indicates what, if any, provisions of SCA and East Kingdom laws needs to be changed to bring us in full compliance with Pennsylvania law is not given before July 1, 2015, I am left with no alternative but to suspend all activities under the office of the Earl Marshal of the East Kingdom that allows participation by anyone under the age of 18 in the state of Pennsylvania and to bar any East Kingdom marshal from participating, as a marshal, in the state of Pennsylvania where anyone under the age of 18 is allowed to participate in any marshal activities.

The sanctions faced for failure to comply with Pennsylvania law include civil and criminal prosecution. Anyone who supervises or comes into regular contact with persons under the age of 18 are subject to these sanctions. This affects all marshals as well as all chivalry. It is imperative that this issue be resolved immediately, considering that provisions of the law are already in effect.

Pennsic Issues
Furthermore, the current Pennsic Accord that seeks to subvert authority for field saftey from the Society Earl Marshal and place the Pennsic marshallate under control of the Deputy Mayor for Battlefield Activities is improper. The current accord violates the clear and long standing chain of command from SEM, to KEM, to DEM, etc. The Earl Marshals must continue to have free authority, subject to the rules of the Society and answerable to the Society Earl Marshal in all combat related activities and not to the Deputy Mayor for Battlefield Activities unless the BoD directs otherwise.

Yours in Service,
Baron Sir Jibril al-Dakhil,
East Kingdom Earl Marshal
