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].

  • A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. Contacting the SCA in New
    A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international historical research and recreation group which, in over 40 years of operating as a non-profit organisation, has gained some 50,000 members worldwide. SCA members meet regularly to hold medieval or Renaissance-style tournaments, most commonly fighting in armour with sword and shield, as well as enjoying feasts, dancing and other events and activities that recreate “the better part of the Middle Ages”. Many historical recreation groups specialise in a particular time and place. However, the SCA covers a period from 600 to 1600CE in Europe. As part of this, members dress the part, so you may see Viking warriors rubbing shoulders with Italian knights, Elizabethan ladies embroidering next to Anglo-Saxon maidens. Members are drawn from a broad range of ages and occupations, and it is not uncommon for them to become recognised experts in their chosen SCA field of endeavour, earning academic credentials, acting as technical advisors to the film industry and becoming published authors. A number of branches have been established in New Zealand over the past 20 years, including groups in Auckland (known as the Barony of Ildhafn), Hamilton (the Canton of Cluain), Wellington (the Shire of Darton), Christchurch (the Barony of Southron Gaard) and Dunedin (the Canton of Castelburn). These groups are part of the Kingdom of Lochac, which at present covers Australia and New Zealand. The name "Lochac" comes from a reference in the book of Marco Polo's travels to lands south of Indonesia. Local groups are typically governed by a Baron and/or Baroness as representatives of the ruling King and Queen, with a Seneschal handling day-to-day operations, and a Chatelaine handling inquiries from the public.
