To my loving and gracious Queen,
Unfortunately I will be unable to accompany you as you journey to the great gathering in the south of Our Kingdom. Members of our Guards have informed me of a grave and trou- bling situation to our north which I must at- tend too.
So grave is the situation that I feel it must be a mistake or misunderstanding as I can not perceive any reasoning for what I have heard, but at the same time I cannot ignore the words of our guards who are wise as they are brave!
They report that Baron Mordenvale is in ca- hoots with his Cousins in Rowany and Politar- chopolis. So concerned are they at rumours of my ill health and our lack of heirs that they feel the strength of Our Kingdom is at risk. Our guards have spoken to me that so con- cerned that the Kingdom wasuffering at my de- mise that he has urged his Cousins to accept him as Regent! Perhaps he thinks I am helpless and at deaths door or perhaps this is a sinister plot that preceeds an attempt upon Our lives.
My love, I must crusade to Mordenvale, to prove my strength to these Barons and to our populace and to dispel any challenge to our undoubted station.
Niall - King
Unto the Populace of the
Barony of Aneala, does Kilic and Branwen give greetings.
We have all now returned safely from the Southern Lands of our Barony after attending the annual Anealan Championship. While a lot of what we saw and did was heartening to our souls we did have the sad duty of saying good bye to our previous Champions and to our Ladies in Waiting and Liveryman. With regard to our champions this was some- what softened as we inducted them into our Hearth Troop. So con- gratulations to the newest members of the Hearth Troop Baron Lachlan Ioseph of Dunbar and Lord Galen Wulfric and to Lord Veil le Pantera who was made a Captain of our Hearth Troop for having served as our champion on more than one occasion. We also said good bye to our A&S champion Lady Alanna Galliwoode who has been an inspiration in our courts and at our events. We also bid farewell to Lady Alessandra de Florenza, Lady Elizabeth Rowe, Lady Aoifa inghean Ui Conchobhair and Lord Hadrian di l'Estrille who have served us faithfully as Ladies in Waiting and Liveryman this past year.
We were of course heartened by the skills we saw of those who put their skills to the test in our Championships and we found none want- ing. However, as is the case with these competitions, only one in each discipline could stand triumphant and the Champions this year are:
Lord Konrad Hildebrandt – Armoured Champion
Zaven Zeitountsi = Rapier Champion
Lady Alianore de Essewell – Archery Champion
Lady Mery of Ellersley – A&S Champion
We also inducted into our court Lady Gwyneth ferch Aeddan and Lady Sláine Inghean Mic O'Ruadháine as our new Ladies in Waiting. We also re-inducted Lord Hadrian di l'Estrille as a Liveryman. We hope to soon add one more Lady in Waiting to our court so that the Glory that is Aneala can be properly displayed.
We would like to thank all those who made our Championship such a wonderful event. From those who set up and took down, to those who stepped in last minute to help where needed, to our former champions who ran the tests to choose our new champions and to those who taught their skills and knowledge at the A&S classes. To the event steward Lady Bella Vallori and her team for making sure all was ready when needed. You are all wonderful people and as our earlier missive showed you are not just a small group within our Barony but a large portion of it and you are even friends who live outside of our Barony but still help us out. Thank you all.
Now to the future and please don’t forget we have a full calendar this month and the next. On October 20th there is the College Challenge which will be held on the Oak Lawn of our College of St Basil where they wish to celebrate their saving of the College of St Lazarus. On the 26th October there is the Fairytale Bal d’Aneala which will have myths, legends and stories to entertain and to amuse. It will also be where the Golden Rose of Aneala will be chosen so get your Bardic skills warmed up.
On November 16th and 17th Abertridwr is hosting a Royal at which there will be combat, feasting, archery and A&S. So please start prepar- ing now for this event and please consider sending recommendations to their Majesties for people you think are deserving of recognition.
For those uncertain about what to write or send we would suggest keep it short and direct as their Majesties can have a lot of recommen- dations to read. We would also suggest that you only make one recom- mendation per email and include the person’s name and group in the subject field of the email. This will allow their Majesties to search easily for local people when they are looking at potential people to award on their visit. Would you also CC us on the recommendation as that way if their Majesties discuss with us a potential recipient we can be aware of what has been said. The email for their Majesties is [email protected] and our email is [email protected].
Yours in Service to the Crown and to our Populace, Kilic and Branwen Baron and Baroness of Aneala

From the listkeeper
My warrant as Listkeeper of Aneala will expire in January of 2014. As such,I am looking for a replacement.
The work involved in this office is straightforward, and far from time-consuming. I can provide full training, and stay on as a deputy until you feel comfortable with the role.
The listkeeper:
* Ensures that a capable listkeeper is available at any tournament of Aneala or of its cantons or colleges, in consultation with the Baron, Baroness, event steward and any subgroup listkeeper you might stumble across. This can be yourself in some cases, but it's a good idea to get other people involved in the process and learning how to keep a list.
* Maintains a list of people with the skills to keep a list. Listkeepers are not authorised like marshalls, but they do need to know what they're doing. * Attends and reports to the monthly Anealan Council. This cur- rently occurs in Wembley, so make sure you're comfortable getting there. * Reports quarterly to the Barony and the Kingdom Listkeeper. * Updates tournament results on the Barony's website, for such time as people are interested and the facility exists. * Must be a member of the SCA. * Must be aged 18 or over.
If you can satisfy these requirements, then please consider applying. Your application should outline first and foremost that you are willing to take on the role! You should also outline any relevant experience you have, in or out of the SCA.
Applications should be sent (preferably by email) to the Kingdom List- keeper and to the Seneschal, Baron and Baroness of Aneala, and should be sent by Christmas (December 25th, 2013).
Thank you,
Edmund Kerr
