New Combat Archery Authorization Handbook
Greetings, Calontir!
As we move forward towards War Maneuvers and Gulf Wars, our Combat Archery Marshal, Nahama, has created an outline for running Combat Archery authorizations moving forward in Calontir.
You can see the new instructions here: Calontir Combat Archery Authorization Handbook.
Here is a short letter from Nahama:
Greetings beautiful Kingdom,
My name is Nahama, I am your new Kingdom Combat Archery Marshal. First, I’d like to thank John Bowyer for all of his work during his tenure as the KCAM, and thank you all for this opportunity. I look forward to getting people authorized and on the field offering missile support to our glorious shield wall.
My first order of business was to work with the Earl Marshal and the Kingdom Armored Combat Marshal on the Combat Archery authorization process. The new document is now available, and I’d love for all Combat Archery Marshals, Armored Combat Marshals, AND participants to read through the new handbook, and send me any feedback they may have. We are hoping this streamlines the process and makes it more transparent what candidates and judging marshals will need to be aware of going into authorizations. Once again, thank you for allowing me to help make even more fun!
In Service,
Nahama
Please direct any questions to Nahama at combatarchery@calontir.org!

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.
