The Minutes from Curia at September Crown are now available:
Thank you to all of Avacal from Your King and Queen. Her Majesty Eyoddi and I are humble by your service to and love of this Kingdom. So many wonderful events at Crown this past weekend.
Congratulations first to Our Heirs Prince Ellias and Princess Kiera. Both fought fiercely and with Your combined skill and experience ruling this Kingdom, We know that Avacal will be in good hands.
To the Silver Griffins, Hrogn and Astrid, you both also fought fiercely and We know that it is only a matter of time until you will also rule this Kingdom.
We cannot describe the honor and privilege that it was to be able to elevate such worthy and noble peers. When fighting in Crown I admit the desire to elevate My Ispiration to be Queen. But I never realized how incredible it was to be able to be a small part of the recognition of the your deeds.
Thank you Catra, Amery, and Hamelin for allowing us to be the ones to formally recognize all that you have done for Avacal and the SCA.
A new Youth Champion was brought to us on the winds. Vesla has already begun to gather wordfame. I am excited to see how you work to promote youth combat in Avacal over your term as Our Champion.
Finally a thank you to event stewards, heralds, marshalls, archers, teachers, bards, gards, artisans, merchants, organizers and volunteers and every other person too numerous to list who contributed in any and ever way to making Our Crown event something we will always remember. Our reign is half done but these moments we share last in fond memory until the end of time.
Let it be known that I, Gunther Rorikson King of Avacal, so Grant permission to Ayesguard to cancel the Midsummer Mischief event due to safety and health concerns resulting from nearby forest fires and the resultant impact on air quality.
Our final missive is one of gratitude.
We find ourselves lacking the words to convey the gratitude we feel for this opportunity to be the Crowns of Avacal. We enjoyed the opportunity to travel this Kingdom as your Sovereigns. Getting to see the populace and give recognition to Our talented Avacalians is a joy. We would not have been able to do this without the help and support of so many. To say thank you is not enough. But it does need to be said. Thank you to our retinue, to the Kingdom officers for keeping things running smoothly, to the makers that donated largesse and gifts, and to the people of Avacal for your support. We are honored to have been your King and Queen. We wish Their Royal Highnesses the best in their upcoming reign.
In service to Avacal and the Dream, now and always.

It has been brought to our attention that with the website down some people can not renew their memberships on the SCA Website portal. We have spoken to the society senechal about a possible allowance for people to not have their memberships for crown as long as they get them as soon as the website is back up and running. This will NOT be allowed, because there is another option. One most of us have not used in some time but it still exists. You can renew and/or get a new membership by E-mail. With Crown only 3 weeks away there is still time to use this option, so we encourage everyone that needs to, to use the email option as soon as possible. I would hate to see anyone that wanted to be competing in Crown be sitting on the sidelines.
You can fill it out and email it to: membership@sca.org
We have enjoyed our time serving Avacal as her Sovereigns! Our time is drawing to an end as your Crown, and we hope you will join our last court and the Coronation of our heirs, Kvigr and Svava, in the Barony of Montengarde.
As the fall harvest and winter draws near, we may see less of each other. Have no fear; we will all be looking forward to spring and summer when we can gather safely again, raise our glasses, and shout, “Avacal! Together We conquer!”
Enjoy yourselves, and above all else, be kind to each other!
Until we meet again,
Avacal is seeking 2-6 people for the position of Advocate Council. The Avacal Advocacy Council will address situations when a member of the populace needs help understanding their options should they feel they are being mistreated. The role of the Advocacy Council is to support the populace member in addressing their concerns respectfully to support a healthy culture within Avacal. This support can help members to navigate kingdom laws and policies, listen to concerns, offer advice such as SCA policy and procedure options, and assist with conflict resolution.
One member of the Advocacy Council shall be the Avacal DEI officer.
All officer positions must be paid by members of the SCA.
Please submit your mundane and SCA resume to the Kingdom Seneschal at seneschal@avacal.org.
Applications will be received until January 31, 2023.
Thank you!
What a lovely Fall Crown! Congratulation to our heirs, Kvigr and Svava. Their coronation will take place in the Barony of Montengarde.
To everyone who entered our lists, well done! The heat of the day indeed showed your intent and skill. Thank you to the event team for doing a brilliant job making Fall Crown a fun and successful event!
Please join us in welcoming Isidore Illegitimus and Amya Lyghtfot, who will become Baron and Baroness of Myrganwood at MW Anniversary.
We want to remind our populace that we would love to recognize those worthy of reward. We were hoping you could send in recommendations as we do not see all our populace’s great words and deeds.
