  • New Kingdom Emergency Deputy Seneschal…

    It is my great pleasure to announce that the new Emergency Deputy Seneschal for the Kingdom of Calontir will be Countess Giulia Isabella da Venezia. I look forward to working with her in the coming months to prepare her to take over as the next Kingdom Seneschal when the time comes. I would also like to thank His Lordship Saito Takauji for serving in that role as I continued to seek a successor. I wish him well in his upcoming role as the next Baron of Mag Mor.

    In Service,

  • September Mews

    Greetings Calontir,
    The September edition of the Mews is now available. Please see attached.

  • Position Opening: Kingdom Advocate…

    The Kingdom Advocates work as a team to address concerns, help bring about resolutions to disputes, and investigate reports of inappropriate behaviour. Our current Kingdom Advocates are Duke Tristram of Lindisfarne, Countess Conna ingen Ui Chearbhaill, and Mistress Halimah bint ‘al Abbas ‘al Tanji. They have done a fantastic job under uniquely trying circumstances. Due to a combination of plague and corporate restructuring, they have been in their roles for a greater than expected period of time, and would like to retire to their estates to enjoy a well deserved rest. We announced the newest member of the team, Lady Eawynn ingen Broccain, in court last night. We will need others as well. If you are interested in serving Calontir in this capacity, please submit your letter of intent to [email protected], and copy the advocates at [email protected]. Letters of intent are due by August 20th, 2022. If you have any questions about the office please let us know. Thank you.

    In Service,
    Galen


  • Position Opening: Kingdom Seneschal and Emergency Deputy Seneschal…

    The current Emergency Deputy Seneschal for Calontir, His Lordship Saito Takauji, will be stepping up as the next Baron of Mag Mor at the end of August. This means that I am in need of a new Emergency Deputy Seneschal. My warrant is also up in November, which means that I am seeking a successor for my office. If you are interested in serving the kingdom either as Emergency Deputy Seneschal, or the next Kingdom Seneschal, please submit your letters of intent to [email protected] by August 17th, 2022. If you have any questions about the office, please let me know. Thank you.

  • COVID Reminders…

    As we reach mid-Summer, with more events taking place indoors, it seems like a good idea to remind everyone of the rules, guidelines, and procedures in place regarding COVID. The COVIDSafe policy continues to be enforced. Information on the COVIDSafe Policy can be found here…

    https://www.calontir.org/covidsafe/

    …In addition to the COVIDSafe policy, which requires proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID test, from a medical provider, within 72 hours prior to the start of every qualifying event, the following guidelines for event attendance are also in place…

    https://www.calontir.org/update-calontir-covid-guidelines-for-event-attendance/

    …If you test positive for COVID following an event please inform the Kingdom Seneschal at [email protected]. No details will be disclosed. We will only disclose that someone attending the event tested positive. This provides anyone who attended the event the opportunity to take any necessary precautions. While indoor masking is not currently required for those who meet the CDC definition of “Fully Vaccinated”, indoor masking is still recommended. Masks will continue to be made available for those who need, or desire, them.

    If you have any questions please contact me at [email protected]

    Thank you all for your continued perseverance, and patience, as we continue to navigate this ever changing pandemic. Together we are Calontir, and we will endure.

    In Service,
    Galen

    Greetings good gentles!

    The College of Heralds has two positions that need volunteers.  Caitilin inghean Ui Lochlainn’s term as Eyas Herald is nearing the end.

    Please send all Letters of Intent or inquiries to [email protected].  Letters should include any information or skills relevant to the positions.  We are accepting letters for Eyas Herald until the end of July.  We are accepting letters for Saker Herald until the end of August.
