By The Light of A Northern Star....

One of the wonderful things about our new
Principality is how many very worthy gentles are finally
being recognized with Awards of Arms and even a few
Jambes and Gouttes. The Crown long ago decided that
Their Coronets should look after the bestowing of (most)
AoAs in the Principalities. And it wasn't all that long ago
that The Crown added that, with Their approval, the various
awards that bestow Grants of Arms could also be done by
The Coronets. This has not been as constant a thing as the
AoAs, but then, it is still a fairly new law, and not all
Crowns agree with it.
But they haven't taken it out of the Kingdom Laws
yet, either....!
Some would have it that being given your AA or a
Jambe by someone other than The Crown "lessens" the
award in their eyes. It doesn't come from "high enough up
the food chain" or some such thing. That it "means more"
when it is given by The Crown. I don't claim to understand
it, myself; that you are being recognized for your efforts, to
me, is the important thing. From who's hands it is bestowed
means what it will mean to the individual receiving it. Be it
from an unknown Crown, or a more familiar Coronet, it is the
recipient that matters. Really, who's hand it directly comes
from is as much a matter of convenience as it is necessity.
Armigerous Awards can only be granted by the will
of The Crown. And if we were to wait until each and every
deserving person were able to meet The Crown, there are
some people who would never ever be recognized. And we
all know why.
And so The Crown has decreed that in Their
Names, Armigerous Awards may be bestowed by others.
And The Crown has even gone so far as to say that the
decision to bestow those awards may be done by The
Coronets (we won't bother dealing with the situation where
The Crown hands the scroll and such to the resident Royal
Peer or Territorial Baron & Baroness). Sometimes, when
The Crown knows that they won't be able to make
arrangements, will allow The Coronets to decide on matters
pertaining to the Jambe de Lion and Goutte de Sang. On
very very rare occasions, even Peerages have been
bestowed (after appropriate consultations and all).
And let me tell you, I have heard someone sneer at
such a Peerage, or have "tsk'd" in sorrow over the "fact" that
the newly recognized will never know the "true joy" of
receiving such a recognition from The Crown.
Puh-lease........
Since June of this year, I have been watching the
lists of people recognized by The Crown and The Coronets.
And many of the names on the Tir Righ list would likely be
waiting still if it were otherwise than it is being done. Timely
and proper recognition of effort and excellence is a
cornerstone of Our Society, and we let it crumble at our
peril.
Of course, this means that The Crown and Coronet
need to know that people are deserving. Which means they
need to see Letters of Recommendations. And if you don't
really know how to write one, well, there are forms available
on-line at he Kingdom and Principality sites. And yes, this
is just one more way to make sure one of my favourite topics
gets more atteniton.

And for those who think it may be "less" because it
came not from Their Majesties hands, well, they have
already been rightly sentenced to live in those heads. And I
can't think of a more fitting "reward" for them.

From Their Highnesses of Tir Righ

Unto the Populace of Tir Righ, Greetings and Salutations.

We would like to announce our successors. Ulf and Celdae were
successful at the Coronet tourney held in Danscombe. We wish
them all the luck and joy we have had during our reign.

Thank you to Mistress Yrsa Kettilsdottir for stepping up and
taking care of the event itself. You are an amazing person.
Thank you.

We look forward to continuing to visit the branches of Our
grand Principality.

Best wishes.
Einar and Thora
Prince and Princess Tir Righ


Words from the Princess Tir Righ
After great deliberation and consulting with the heralds, I
have come up with a consort's devise. In asking a few
questions before registering it, it came to my attention that
I must submit this with the support of the populace behind me.
Thus being said, there is yet another poll. This poll is just
as important as all the other polls that we have had. This
poll affects the devise for the Princess (or Consort). You can
view it on the Tir Righ web site when you go to fill out the
poll.
Anyone can participate. If you are a member, please include
your membership number. The closing date for the poll will be
November 14, 2003. Please forward this message at your council
meetings and on any lists that affect Tir Righ.
To participate in the pole please go to
http://north.antir.sca.org/curia/poll.html
This is very important for everyone to do. Thank you
Thora

From The Principality Seneschal

It has been an exciting time since I stepped up in Oct 1999.

We now have our own Prince and Princess, our region has come
together to form a strong Principality, we are developing a
strong since of identity. As my tenure as Seneschal is in its
twilight, I would like to thank all that have supported the
Office of the Seneschalate in Tir Righ.

I have been dogmatic at times however we finally achieved our
goals.
Without your assistance I do not believe we would be where we
are today. Your vision, determination and hard work has
accelerated that process.
His Lordship, Kieran Gunn will be accepting the Mantle of
Office at Winter investiture. I hope your unwaivering support
will also be afforded to him as he settles in. I would like to
thank you all for the honour of serving in the position of the
founding Seneschal of Tir Righ.

It is something I will never forget.

Yours in Service,
Ljotr Einarsson AA MI JL GS
Seneschal, Principality of Tir Righ

From The Principality Marshal

As Their Highnesses have instructed I am posting my list of
what branches that have, and have not reported for August
2003.
Their Highnesses have also incorporated a "3 Strike" rule
about non reporting branch officers. Meaning after 3 missed
reports your seneschal will be asked to replace the officer in
question.
To make reporting easier (for all you MOS's out there) fill
out the pre-setup report form from the Antir Web-site, save it
into JPEG format, and email it to the Tir Righ Marshal email
address <tir-righ-marshal@antir.sca.org>

If you haven't sent in your report DO IT. If you have, thank
you

From the Principality Archery Marshal

Ni Hao,

As autumn is now underway the end of the archery season is at
hand. Time to start thinking about hanging up your bows and
storing your arrows, unless of course you're lucky enough to
have access to an indoor range.

Congratulations to everyone who has succeeded in accomplishing
any goals they have set for themselves this year. Also a big
congratulations to Anika for becoming our new Archery
Champion. The tournament was hard fought, and she showed
exceptional skill in her victory.

I am putting out the call for deputies. I am looking for a
Deputy of Scores and a Drop Dead Deputy. The Scoring Deputy
will be in charge of maintaining the Principality archery
scoring list. For the Drop Dead Deputy, applicants should
preferably be a TAM, a thrown weapons marshal, a light
marshal, and be a paid member of the SCA.

Applications can be sent to: <tir-righ-archery-
marshal@antir.sca.org>

From The Principality Calendar Deputy

Greetings unto Prince Einar, Princess Thora, the new Heirs of
Tir Righ, Ulf and Celdae, and the populous of Tir Righ.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I
am Tadgg h-ua Faelan, the new, and first, Calendar Deputy of
Tir Righ.

Over the past month I have been putting together this new
office, creating Date Reservation, Event Information and
Principality Event Bid forms, which are now available on line
at http://north.antir.sca.org/library/forms/ , and setting up
communication lines between Kingdom Calendar and the powers of
Tir Righ.

For the ease of all autocrats, branch seneschals and everyone
else involved, Tir Righ will adopt the same event designations
as An Tir.
These are: "Open Date (Tier 2)" This means the branch believes
their event will be of local interest only and will allow any
potentially conflicting event to coexist on that date. These
events can be advertised on the Kingdom Web Calendar, The
Principality Web Calendar and/or in the Sentinel, but will not
show up in the Crier. Non Member Surcharge does not apply.
"Limited Date (Tier 1)" This is given to events the branch
believes will draw from outside their home territory such that
conflicting events may negatively impact their own event. The
branch may, however, grant permission to conflict on a case by
case basis. An Event Information Form must be on file, event
copy must be published in the Crier along with a calendar
listing, and the Non Member Surcharge must be levied on all
adult non-member attendees. Conflict policies as
defined are in effect.

NOTE: a limited date event may be listed along with a pre-
existing open date event. However, an open date event may NOT
be listed if a conflicting limited date event already has the
date.

Forms: Currently kingdom law requires an Event Information
Form (EIF) be on file with me for the event to be "official".
This allows for awards, official announcements and business
with greater than local
level impact to be conducted. The Date Reservation Form (DRF)
is a courtesy form that allows a seneschal to book a date when
no other information may be known. This doesn't mean group
fight practice or business meetings and the like aren't
official, they just don't qualify for principality or kingdom
business.

As HL Ljotr Einarsson said, "Now that we are a Principality,
TRHs want to recognize the work of the Principality with the
granting of awards. In order to grant awards, an event has to
be legal. It has to be printed in the Crier and the event copy
has to be in.... Please ensure that your events are "legal" by
submitting the proper paperwork in an appropriate time."

Finally I would like to address Principality event bids. It is
required by Principality Law that Principality Bids be
received a year in advance. I would also like to see
Principality events move around the Principality. So, if your
branch has an appropriate site for a Principality event, and
you have not bid on any of the Principality events, please do
so. You may not get the first Principality event you bid on
but we will know that you have a site, an interest, and which
event you may be interested in hosting in the future.

If anyone has any questions please contact me at
<tadgg@telus.net> or by phone at 250-639-9301 (before 10pm
please).

Send all completed forms to: Tadgg h-ua Faelan, c/o John Rowe,

From The SCA Board of Directors

Greetings unto the esteemed members of the Society:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I present to you the
following request for commentary on a possible change to
Corpora.

Corpora IV.C.2 currently reads as follows:
"The royal pair must attend their Coronation or Investiture,
preside over the Royal Lists to select their successors, and
attend the Coronation or Investiture of their successors. They
must also attend such other events as may be dictated by the
laws of their realm. Should extreme and extraordinary
circumstances, such as death, prevent a Crown, heir to the
Crown, Coronet, or heir to the Coronet, from completing the
these requirements, the Board of Directors may, upon
substantial petition, and on a case by case basis, waive these
requirements to allow the bestowing of a royal peerage or
royal title."

In light of several situations that have arisen in the recent
past in which Crowns have been unable to complete all of the
requirements listed above for reasons the Board considered
sufficient and extraordinary, but which did not involve death,
the Board requests comment on the idea of removing the phrase
"such as death" from the above passage.

The Directors request comments from the membership regarding
this proposed revision no later than January 1st, 2004.

Please send them to:

Corpora IV.C.2

From The An Tir Royal Equestrian
I just received the following information from the SCA
announcements list. Since it is of specific interest to event
autocrats and persons of the equestrian persuasion, and not
everyone is on the SCA announcement list, I have cross-posted
liberally. My apologies in advance for consuming the
bandwidth, but this is important and needs the broadest
dispersion possible. Please feel free to repost to other lists
where this may be applicable.
Regards,
Fionn Ban MacAoidh
Royal Equestrian


*+*+*+*+*+*+

Unto the members of the Society, greetings:

There is quite a bit of confusion surrounding Equestrian
insurance certificates. Let me try to clear some of that
confusion up, if possible...

As everyone is aware, our insurance must be activated for each
occurrence in order for equestrian activities to be covered.
The question that comes up again and again is - what
constitutes an "occurrence"?

There are two types of occurrences for equestrian activities –
practices and events. The insurance activation policy works a
little differently in each of these two cases.

1. Equestrian Practices
An insurance certificate is required for practices. However,
if your group holds regular practices, you can order a single
$50.00 certificate, which will be good for the entire period
during which practices will be held, up to an entire calendar
year (January - December).
For example, let's say the Barony of X holds equestrian
practice every Wednesday from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the same
location. One certificate is all that is needed for this
regularly recurring practice – the Barony simply specifies the
dates involved (yes, you must actually go to a calendar and
write down the date of every Wednesday), from 6:00 pm to 10:00
pm, on their insurance certificate request, pays the necessary
$50.00 fee, and they're good to go for an entire (calendar)
year of equestrian practices.

In order for this to work, a few things must be true: (1) the
exact dates must be known in advance and specified (for
example: August 7, 14, 21, and 28) - the dates need not be the
same day of the week, but all applicable dates must be listed;
(2) the time must be specified, and be for no more than a 12
hour period (such as: Saturdays (list dates), 8 am to 8 pm);
and (3) the location must always be the same.

What WON'T work: specifying entire weekends, or periods of
more than 12 hours' continuous duration. Activities of this
length are no longer practices, but Events. You also may not
simply say "every day". You need to actually schedule your
regular practices in order to be able to insure them under a
single certificate - this requires some planning on your
group's part.

If your site changes, or if the dates or specified times of
your practice changes, you will need a new certificate, which
will need to be paid for anew.

2. Equestrian Events
Events are often (not always) of longer duration, and often
(not always) have other activities going on in addition to
equestrian activities.

A separate insurance certificate is needed for each event,
regardless of its duration. Events can range from single-day
events to multi-week events such as Pennsic. Events are
advertised as such in newsletters or other appropriate media.
I believe everyone is capable of using common sense to
differentiate a practice from an event and applying that
knowledge in a reasonable way.

I hope this information helps simplify the whens and how-
oftens of ordering Equestrian insurance certificates. Remember
that they must be ordered at least 30 days in advance of the
date of the event, or of the date of the first occurrence of a
regularly-scheduled practice. If you have any questions,
please contact me or Patricia LaChance in the corporate
office.

In service to the Society,

Silver Whale Competition 13 Dec, 2003
The Barony of Seagirt Victoria, BC

Once again the Barony of Seagirt is hosting our annual persona
competition. This year Silver Whale will be held on Dec 13 in
conjunction with the Baron's Scholar Trials. The competition
is an opportunity to present an authentic and logical persona
you have created and who could have existed before the year
1650. (This is not to be a recreation of an historic, fiction,
or SCA character). The competition is open to both men and
women.
This is not a competition to win against others, but to
accomplish a goal of presenting a successful piece of theatre.
This means bringing together and presenting everything - from
knowledge, bearing and attitude to props and aids such as
food, costume(s), skills and activities needed to make the
persona a whole, living, believable person.
Interested in getting more information? Please contact Tatiana
Alexievna by email or phone and an information package and
application form will be forwarded to you. Applications must
be received no later than Nov 1, 2003 in order to be accepted

Because I Can...

The Bunny & The Duck Revisited


Within this court of Lions Gate
The bunny sought to find a mate
A drake most bold, bedecked with gold
That she did want to have and hold.

Nine months and more this tale is told
And proof there is the duck was bold
For there behind for all to see
The bunny had some progeny.

Some say that they look mis-begotten
With webbed feet and tails of cotton
But wait to see what next appears
Ducks with furry bunny ears.

In Lions Gate we take much pride
In taking everything is stride
Take the case of the Lionsgator
Whose parentage we'll get to later

The 'Gator, not to be outdone
Courted oyster and had some fun
She too increased, and for her sins
Her babes were born with pearly chins.

The music, pause, the partners change
The dance begins anew again
The 'gator now embraces duck
And Oyster doth the bunny f.........
(Oops! Uh, let's see here....
*scribble scribble scribble*..... A-ha!)
The 'gator now embraces drake
And Oyster doth the bunny take.

Then toothy bills and nacred scuts
Cause bigots first to tsk then tut
But the SCA embraces all
The scaled, the feathered, the short, the tall.
For when it comes down to the wire
All God's children got a place in the choir.


Lord Kenneth and Lady Vivien of Shaftesbury
