Useful websites Calontir.org For members new and Useful websites Calontir.org For members new and old, there are some websites that are useful for inspiration and information. We have a few different websites that we want to share. The website this time is the Calontir Kingdom web page. http://calontir.org/ The page is really one of the most useful sites for people participating with the SCA in Iowa. The web pages is where the kingdom calendar can be found. Once members begin playing on a regular basis, this is the calendar that they refer to in planning what events they may choose to attend. Beyond the calendar there are a host of other resources on the page. The instructions for local officers can be found here as well as the archive of the registered heraldry of members and the archive of awards received by the membership. Often important announcements can be found on the page as well as lists of people you may need to contact. #SCAIowa #Axedroot #Calontir #Calontir_official #regramcalontir #medievaliowa #cedarrapids #cedarfalls #desmoines #ankneyiowa #amesiowa

Groups of Calontir: Households Many times when pe Groups of Calontir: Households Many times when people come to join the SCA they are interested in joining Households. My belief is that this is due to how the word is applied to other activities, in various fantasy and history publications as well as games. The word Household can mean specific things within the SCA and within our kingdom. I wanted to take a moment to distinguish between five types of groups that some people would lump together as Households Royal Household: Group of volunteers with various assigned and unassigned roles in assisting the current King and Queen. Household-like interest group: There are several groups that may function much like a household but might just share common interests and camp or travel together. It is a group of friends that stands the test of time in our hobby. Household of a Peer: These are founded by some specific person who has received one of the highest recognitions within the SCA called a peerage. Often includes people who have a connection with the founder, like a student/teacher or master/apprentice. They may or may not camp and travel together and may or may not include other expectations of behavior, dress, participation, etc. Household as a camping group: Often at our events there are groups of people who camp together on a regular basis. These groups may be formed from members of the same local group or be formed from friends who have met over the years. Large Society Household: There are several large, multi-kingdom households that many people participate with. These may or may not have specific focuses or expectations associated with them and are sometimes more like larger social connections within the hobby. People who participate in the SCA are rarely one dimensional, and similarly they rarely restrict their participation to only one group of friends or only one interest group. The many ways to participate in the SCA makes it possible for you to explore many hobbies and many gatherings of friends. To learn more about these groups or other aspects of the SCA, ask online or contact your local SCA group members. #SCAIowa #Axedroot #medievaliowa #amesiowa
SCA Names One of the odd customs people find when SCA Names One of the odd customs people find when they join the SCA is that we commonly use a ‘medieval’ name at meetings and events, and often know people more by this SCA name than by their actual name. This odd part of the hobby started as a way to immerse yourself into a different world and a different time. Many of our members use the SCA as a way to escape from the modern world with all of its stresses and pressures, and having another name is one of the ways we can do that. Other people enjoy going more in depth into experiencing this medieval world by trying to create a full immersive experience, trying to build up a complete picture of how this imaginary person lived, what they ate, what they wore, what their daily life was like. Again having this other name aids in creating this experience. In recent years more and more documents are being digitized and put on line so that we can learn more about the lives of medieval people as well as their names, and we can use these records to come up with fun names, some that sound modern and some that don’t. So if names like Herald Bluetooth, Inar the Boneless or Wizzo the Flem inspire you then you can talk to your local herald about how to get an SCA Name. #SCAIowa #Amesiowa #Axedroot
Make a Resolution (To Have an Adventure) We are al Make a Resolution (To Have an Adventure) We are all familiar with the resolutions that we should make, but how about making some resolutions that are fun to make. Making the resolution to have more fun, to learn things, and to have an adventure. The good thing is this resolution is easy to keep when you participate in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Soon enough we will begin to reawaken from our paused event schedule. For now, we will have many opportunities for those who have found us during these times to join us at our gatherings online and continue our adventure of learning about the past through recreating the best aspects of it. To learn more about what you can do right now, even in these socially distant times, in order to be ready to have an adventure once it is safe, contact us online or find your local SCA group online #SCAIowa #Amesiowa #Axedroot #desmoines #ankneyiowa
The Calontir Award System: Calon Lily In the SCA The Calontir Award System: Calon Lily In the SCA there is a system for recognizing the accomplishments and contributions of the membership. This three tiered system has awards and symbols that go along with it. Each kingdom has their own names and symbols for these awards, and they are given out by the royalty in courts. The awards for the people who make many of the artistic items enjoyed by people, or who do artistic things are Arts awards. The second level Arts award is at the “Grant of Arms” level or GOA and is called a Calon Lily, or just Lily. These are represented with a Fleur de lis, often purple on one side and gold on the other. The title associated with this is Lordship or Ladyship. At this point the people receiving this award have shown that they enjoy making or doing artistic things from history using accurate techniques and sharing this enjoyment with others through teaching. One of the key points to remember is that we do things for the enjoyment of doing them and helping to contribute, and not because of the chance to win an award or for a shiny medallion. If you would like to learn more about the crafts and sciences explored in the SCA or how to get started, ask on here or at a local meeting #SCAIowa #Amesiowa #Axedroot #medievaliowa #desmoines #ankneyiowa
