Good afternoon scribes,
In light of the current COVID-19 concerns, I’d like to share some guidance regarding scrolls for the current and upcoming reign.
It is expected that there will be some cases in which the recipients, scrolls, or both do not make it to the intended event, or the event is canceled altogether.
Please do not worry about having the “wrong” date on a scroll that has to be rescheduled. Scribes are free to use the current scheduled event information (from the assignment email). No one should feel that their scroll is “wrong” just because the recipient and the scroll did not connect at the original event. It will be appreciated just the same.
If a scroll is unlikely to make it to the event it was scheduled for, please let us (the Signet and Emergency Deputy) know so we can alert the reign staff. This process helps us track and properly record awards in the OP and, if necessary, the Backlog office. We will work with you to make sure your scroll gets to the award recipient. (more…)
My Dearest East, I know that many of you have heard that the Kingdom of An Tir is cancelling events for the remainder of the month of March due to fears stemming from the COVID-19 virus. Please know that at this time We see no reason to match such actions. I am sure that you …
