Court report for Known World Heralds & Scribes Symposium

Greetings from your Comet Pursuivant! Here is the court report of Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilderun, at KWHSS, held on June 9, AS 53

Their Excellencies thanked everyone for their attendance, and then invited the autocrats, Master Alaric MacConnel and THL Raven Whitehart to come forward and acknowledge those who helped put this amazing event together.

Their Excellencies gave way for the procession of Tsaritsa Ian’ka of Atenvelt to join them on the dias.

A moment of silence was requested for Master Taliesin, Sea Panther herald of Trimaris, who had passed away eariler that week.

Their Excellencies invited Master Malcolm Bowmann to come forward to announce the induction of the newest Herald Extraordinaire of the Society, Baron Yehuda ben Mosha.

Her Excellency then made a point to recognize all the collected scribes of the Known World, as there are many who do not receive just recognition.

His Excellency followed by recognizing all the collected heralds of the Known World.

Dame Julianna de Luna was invited to come before Their Excellencies. It was noted how wonderful it was that she, originally a resident of the BMDL, had the opportunity to return to the Debatable Lands as Laurel Herald of the Society. For her tireless work she was awarded a Comettus Amicus. Scroll by Rivka bat Daniyel (illumination) and Ceindrich verch Elidir (calligraphy).

Dame Alys MacYntoich was next called before Their Excellencies, and also received a Comettus Amicus for society-level service to the heralding community. Scroll by Rivka bat Daniyel (illumination) and Ceindrich verch Elidir (calligraphy).

Their Excellencies then reminded everyone to attend the performances of the Debatable Choir, followed by ii Genesii, which begin at 8:30.

There being no further business, the Court of Their Excellencies was closed.

Fencing Practice Sunday 7/22

Greetings,

As a reminder there will be fencing practice this Sunday starting at 1PM at the Washington Blvd site.

This will be the last practice until after Pennsic, and will be your last chance to get an initial authorization before Pennsic. Secondary authorizations can be completed at Pennsic, but if you already know you want it why not come out and do it early?

Barony Meeting and Garb Swap – TODAY

Good morning, Barony!

Today is supposed to be hot and a bit humid, but not overwhelming. It’s exactly the kind of day that would be perfect for joining your friends at the Washington Blvd practice site for a Barony Meeting, Garb Swap, A&S Meeting, Instrumental Jam Session (bring your Crumhorn!), and Beginner Pennsic Class.

With so much going on, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something that you’d enjoy!

Things get started at 1:00 p.m. and end around 3:00 p.m.

The Garb Swap will run by the usual rules — Newcomers first then everyone else. We are also being asked to bring an item to donate to Paladin’s Pantry or CareBox Pittsburgh.. This is not a sale, this is a giveaway.

The A&S Meeting is a bring-a-project session. Bring a project, a chair, and yourself. Spend some time with other artisans and enjoy the day. Water will be provided so you can refill your water bottles.

You are invited to bring your crumhorns, recorders, lutes, strings, etc. and join Master Remus in a medieval jam session.

Immediately following the Barony Meeting, there will be a class for new Pennsic-goers called “So, it’s your first Pennsic” being held by Lord Yoshi and Lord Ronin. This is a valuable class that will give you a better idea of what to expect and what kinds of things you can do at Pennsic. Even if you’re not able to attend this year and would like to get an idea of what Pennsic is like, this class would also be useful for you.

Please join us for the Meeting and all of the other activities planned for today. There is a Facebook Event for this here.

We can’t wait to see you there!!

Odriana, Seneschal
