War! War! WAARRRR!!! Oops…was that me?! The madness of war has apparently infected even the more artsy-fartsy folks of the Barony. In addition to the more obvious fighting activities scheduled, there are TONS of classes being offered this year! Most are cost little or nothing and offer you an opportunity to learn from teachers who have traveled from throughout the Known World. More information can be found at www.pennsicwar.org The SCA is founded on the foundations of Arts, Service and Fighting. Pennsic gives folks a chance to practice all three skills. I challenge every member of the Barony to attend at least one class during the war. There are even classes being held in the late afternoon and evening, so there’s no reason not to pick up this particular gauntlet. For those already planning on attending classes, might I recommend a three-pronged approach? Take one class on a topic you love, and one class on a topic you know nothing about and one class that adds to your ability to participate in the SCA in general. This method promotes growth in all facets of your artistic development and ensures you have something to share with the rest of the Knowne World. We’ve been on hiatus during August, but classes will be ramping up again come September. Please contact me if you would like to teach. I received a whopping “none” to my requests for teachers last month. While I like teaching, I am not the only person in the group with skills. If you value variety in the A&S classes offered in Dun Carraig, please step up and volunteer. Page 4 From the Chronicler: Greetings Unto all Dun Carraig! Thanks to all of the officers for getting me their reports by the meeting! It has helped a lot! Keep them coming! In Service, Lylie of Birkenhead Page 5 Proposal for Baronial Awards We will vote on these in September! Orders Order of the Seahawk – Pre-eminent Order for the Barony. Granted to those who have proven themselves to be stalwarts of the Barony for supporting DC through their efforts in varied and diverse means Order of the Emerald Flame – on going excellence in the arts and sciences Order of the Sapphire Path – on going excellence in service Order of the Silver Blade – on going excellence in any marshaled activity Awards Mark of Excellence – award given for specific achievement or action within the barony Bànghlas Carraig (Green Stone) – given for a specific A&S achievement bead color – green (color of the laurel wreath) Guirme Carraig (Blue Stone) – given for a specific service or action bead color – blue (color of the pelican background) Gile Carraig (White Stone) – given for a specific armored/rapier achievement or action bead color – white (color of a knight’s belt) The idea here is to create an award structure much like the Award of Arms, in that each discipline has its own award, and carries with it a Page 6 Mark of Excellence, just like an Opal carries with it an Award of Arms for example. The first time a person receives any of these awards they will receive a MoE and the cross bottony token that goes with it, as well as the bead that represents that award. With each successive award they will only receive the bead. Others Baroness’s Award of Courtesy – awarded to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional courtesy to others Company of Dun Carraig’s Champions – A company for those who have served as baronial champions.
