  • New Combat Archery Marshal

    It is with great pleasure that we announce Nahama Joy (formerly Adelaide Dewey) as our new Combat Archery Marshal.

    Nahama will officially take over the position from Sir John Bowyer on February 1st, 2025. She is still the person to ask questions about Combat Archery and authorizations through January.

    The Armored Combat community would like to express our gratitude to John Bowyer for holding down the fort with Combat Archery in Calontir for many years. We appreciate you!

    Please join me in thanking John and helping Nahama move forward into the future!

  • Armored Combat Rules and Handbook Updates

    Greetings, Calontir! This message serves as an important update for all participants in Armored Combat.

    Effective January 1st, 2025, all authorized Armored Combat marshals will be classified as WARRANTED. This change eliminates the previous reporting requirements for Calontir Armored Combat Marshals. Due to this change, all Calontir warranted/authorized marshals must be a paid member of the Society. It is crucial to note that failure to report any activities, events, practices, incidents, or issues, witnessed or while you are in actively in charge of any AC activities, while serving as a warranted marshal, may result in the loss of your marshal status. You may check out the new reporting guidelines here: Calontir Armored Combat Marshal Reporting Guidelines.

    The Calontir Armored Combat Marshal’s Handbook has been revised and updated! The updated version now incorporates the approved materials from the new Society Marshal Handbooks, which will be accessible on Wiki in the coming months. Additionally, we have introduced a new Calontir Armored Combat Traditions Handbook.

    As we progress through the year, please stay alert for announcements regarding updates and changes. Ensure that your email address is up to date in the CALON system to receive all forthcoming information. For any questions or clarifications, feel free to contact me at armoredcombat@calontir.org.

  • Upcoming event bids for 2025

    Good afternoon!

    As we are rapidly approaching the holidays and new year. A reminder to groups that due to the new policies of Reeve and Chronicler, if you’re wanting to host an event in say March, your paperwork and fliers are due by January 1st. If your group hosts a traditional event in April and May, now is the time to get on that planning. Your paperwork and fliers will be due February and March 1st, respectively! If you’re concerned about dates for an event, email me. I have a lot of open dates at the moment, but that is going to change very quickly. If you’re wanting to host Kingdom A&S or CalonCon those bids are due by February 1st. CalonCon in June, will be in person.

    And a final reminder, ALL official bids MUST be submitted by your group seneschal/chair person utilizing the official seneschal/chair person email of your group/guild. As always, email me if you have any questions.

  • Calontir Steel Rules Survey

    Hello Calontir!

    As many are aware, the Steel Marshal team has been discussing potential updates to the Kingdom rules book. I would like as much feedback as possible on potential changes, both things that my team has been discussing and things the community has brought to my attention. 

    In service to that, I’ve made a survey! Please fill it out, and let me know what you think. This is open to both Marshals and Fighters, and we will be discussing it at the Marshals Meeting at Kris Kinder. 

    Thank you!
