Kingdom Chirurgeon's Report
This is my progress report to my fellow guild
members chronicling our progress as a guild. This report also will keep you all
up to date on what sort of plans the guild has for the future. The first
chirurgeon's meeting of this year was held at Crecy. Many things were discussed.
One amoung them was: Are there any group chirurgeons any more? the answer is
yes. I will refer to the Trimaris Chirurgeons's Handbook - a lesser territory
may have a chirurgeon sit on it's officer's council. This means that a baron or
seneschal does not sign that chirurgeon's warrant. That also means that the
chirurgeon's warrant is independent of the politics of the local unit. The
chirurgeon serves the kingdom at large and the chirurgeon on the council may
represent other chirurgeons in the area to the council, but does not have any
authority over the other chirurgeons in that area because of it. We also held a
Crecy a chirurgeon's collegium which was very well attended. Lady
Cassandra, Mistress Atalaya, Lady Ann of Hendon and Lord Shea were instructors.
The chirurgeon's guild has had a very active year and has been present at all
kingdom events and almost all local events. Here is a list of some people I want
to thank for their services as chirurgeon's at large:
Lady
Cassandra Lord Shea
Lady Rhiannon
Lord Brendon
Mistress Atalaya Sarah Lynette
Lady Natasha Lord Rurik
Jhanos Lucien Alexander LeBon
Mistress Anna Alicia Lady Katerine Isabella de Firenze
The Chirurgeon station we had set up at TMT was a rousing success. The esprit de corps and the comraderie that was felt among the guild members was heart-warming. I am looking for people who are willing to work at Pennsic as water bearers and chirurgeons. Islay Elspeth of Glen Meara

Minutes of the Officers Meeting
9-4-88 Lady Vyctorya, the new
Kingdom Seneschal, opened the meeting by calling for all officers to appoint a
spokesperson for their office at each meeting. These names would be given to the
Historian prior to each meeting. Vyctorya gave out a letter of introduction to
the assembled officers. As per Lord Rurik's suggestion, it was decided
that all officers would receive a copy of the meeting minutes, not just those
who missed the meeting.
Vyctoria clarified that her request for quarterly
reports within each officer did not pertain to the Herald, Exchequer, or
Sheriff. Vyctorya announced that she has taken three assistants to help
with special projects. Lord Loraybech will help with legal matters. Lord Erik of
Telemark will book sites for kingdom events and Mistress Adalhaid will be giving
classes in administration. Vyctorya also announced that the new Kingdom laws
will not be legal until she signs them. We have not had a warranted Seneschal
since August 17th.
Lord Rurik started the Sheriff's report by saying
that the gate guard party seems to have been restarted. He hopes that this will
help in getting volunteers to stand guard. Rurik mentioned that he still does
not know half of his local officers. Vyctorya suggested that he and any other
officers having like problems should attend the seneschal's meeting and talk to
them about their local officers.
Lord Klaus von Salzach, the new
Historian, reported that the report for last quarter had been turned in by his
predecessor Lady Vyctorya. The report stated that the reporting level was high
among the local historians.
Lord Guillermo de Perenza, Deputy MOA,
reported for absent Lord Guillermo Perez. An arts competition will be held at
Sea Raids using Atlantian Rules. Winter Art/Sci will be held by An Crosaire on
1-21, tentatively at Camp Kateri.
Following the Arts report came a
discussion on booking campsites. Lady Fara Steinhauser suggested that we book a
camp on the weekend of July 4th for Summer Arts/Sci. Rurik volunteered to get
information on several camps in the Ocala area. Lord Erik mentioned that getting
new camps is a problem in that most camps are absolutely dry. Vyctorya suggested
putting down standing deposits on some campsites so that we can rely on getting
them when needed. Lady Suranna offered her upcoming Autocrats Handbook to the
Kingdom.
Lady Far Steinhauser reported that several candidates are
coming up for graduation from the Trimaris Royal University. Scrolls are ready
for these gentles and the 13 previous graduates. A sash or token is being
considered for TRU grads. Fara said that any class that has been taught at
Art/Sci or has an approved outline may be taught by the same teacher locally and
be accredited.
Lady Cara Angiola Boccaccio, the new Chancellor of the
Exchequer, has received her files from Lord Alfred. Cara answered a question by
saying that the Kingdom will not reimburse local groups for options like
Armorial and Ordinaries for Heralds. Cara warned that she travels often for her
mundane job so that reimbursements will sometimes be delayed for no more than
one week.
Lord Lance Nystrom, the Triskele Herald, reported that the
new Order of Precedence had been printed at the cost of $15.00 due to it being
62 pages long. Lance would like to serialize the OP in Talewinds or
arrange for a special edition to be published. Lance also suggested that kingdom
officers be given some warning about the formation of new groups so that we may
contact our local counterparts.
Mistress Warjna reported that the
Hospitaller's Office will soon be viable in Trimaris. She is ready to mail out a
substantial rough draft of the Newcomers' Guide. She would like to receive a
list of the new members of each group and the interests of these new members os
that be starting to get quarterly reports within her office.
Lady Islay's Chirurgeon report consisted of four parts - First she has
been trying to have a Chirurgeon's pavilion operating 24 hours a day at major
events. Second, she has been trying to warrant new chirurgeons. Third, she is
concerned with the legalities of handing out over-the-counter medications at
events. She will stop this practice until she can consult with experts. Fourth,
Islay is concerned with alcohol poisoning cases. It was decided that if a person
is in bad shape and is refusing hospitalization, the proper authorities shall be
notified. Islay also announced that she will be hosting an adult an infant CPR
class at her Orlando home on September 17th & 18th.
Lady Vyctorya
announced that Baron Master Talieson will come out of retirement as Sea Panther
Herald Extraordinaire to act as a consultant to the Heralds' Office.
Children's issues were discussed. It was agreed that the welfare of
the child shall be paramount in all cases. The formation of a Ministry of
Children headed by Lord Erik of Telemark is being considered. Suggestions were
given o provide adult supervision for kids at events. House Hobby-Horse was
commended for its work in watching the children. Her Royal Majesty suggested a
cooperative babysitting service for evenings at camp. Melgriga suggested setting
aside a cabin at events for the children under adult supervision.
It
would announced that Peregrine Springs got the bid for Martinmas Moot.
Lord
Klaus von Salzach, Kingdom Historian.
Talewinds, Vol.7, no.11, November AS XXIII A letter by Lady Cateline de la
Mor
Fair cousin, I write to your this autumn day to tell you of a dolorous
event that took place while my lord and I were attending the court of his
majesty,King Seosaidh II. His majesty sat in court for upward of an hour,
dealing with matters of import to the kingdom and granting awards to many
deserving nobles. Alas, as he and his fair and gracious queen Erika withdrew
from court, a miscreant disguised in a saffron hood appeared in the rear of the
court. Shouting "Death to Seosaidh" this villain let loose an arrow at his
majesty, but our valiant queen shielded her lord with her body and took the
arrow in her own breast. Seosaidh immediately sent his armed guards after the
traitor, commended his wounded consort to the care of his heirs, Solomon
and Chelsea, and followed his guards into battle, though completely unarmored.
The guards were so swift behind this miscreant that the sounds of battle rang
clear from beyond the royal pavilion. (We who waited in court had neither armor
nor weapons to defend our King) Alas, while the battle raged, our valiant queen
expired of her wound, though diligently attended by their highnesses.
Seosaidh came presently back to court, bearing aloft in triumph the traitor's
severed head in its yellow hood. The victory was hollow, we could see, for our
king was grievously wounded, bleeding from a dozen wounds at least. When he
heard that his beloved queen was dead, Seosaidh, with aspect terrible to behold,
did cast down that symbol of his victory and drive his bloody sword clean
through it. Then he seemed to weaken (and indeed, hih none dared approach him)
and, knowing his death was nigh at hand, gave his crown and that of his fair
queen to his son, Solomon, told him to have himself crowned so that the kingdom
should yet be united by a single king. The king's heralds and his court
signified their consent by shouting, "The king is dead, long live the king!" And
Seosaidh lay himself with his queen and died. Solomon commanded that their
bodies be taken and prepared for burial. That same day Solomon fulfilled the
wishes of his father and was crowned king of Trimaris. The mighty barons of the
land, and great officers and many of the nobles that were present already for
King Seosaidh's court swore fealty to the new king, and so we need not fear the
dangers of a kingless land while Solomon sits upon the throne with his queen,
Chelsea. This is my record to you of the lamentable death of King Seosaidh and
the elevation of his son, Solomon.

Historian's Report
Greetings unto Their Royal Majesties and the
historians of Trimaris are extended from Lord Klaus von Salzach on this 19th day
of November, AS XXIII being 1988.
Presented here is the Kingdom Historian's
report for the third quarter of this year. This was complied from the seventeen
local reports which I have received thus far. Five officers have not reported
and one group was classified as inactive.
All groups reported having
at least one meeting per month. The Baronies of An Crosaire and Darkwater each
report having one month with five meetings. Fifteen of the seventeen groups had
classes or workshops during the quarter. The average was two per month. Four
groups had four workshops during July. The favorite subjects were heraldry,
fighting, and arts respectively. Mathom Trove and Southkeype each had a total of
ten classes or workshops during this quarter. Thirteen groups reported holding
fighter practices this quarter. Most groups had at least two per month. Shire
Storm held the highest number at eighteen for the quarter.
Only eight
groups reported holding demos. Wyvernwood had the most with five for the
quarter. Fighting was, of course, the most popular topic, followed by arts and
sciences. Dancing was particularly popular. Seven groups reported holding events
this quarter. Wyvernwood hosted Coronation, the only Kingdom event, with feast
help from Glymmerholde, Southkeype and Oldenfeld. Most groups sent people to
only a couple of events this quarter. Most groups were represented at Pennsics
and Coronation, with some members going to various area events.
Awards
were given to gentles in eight groups. Four groups had members which received
new associateships. An Crosaire and Darkwater each received fire reported in
five groups during the quarter. Glymmerholde had the most shuffling with five
changes. Two of these were due to members taking Kingdom Offices. At the kingdom
level there were five new officers appointed. Lady Vyctorya Swansea took over at
Kingdom Seneschal. Duchess Branwen bean Erin was made Earl Marshal. Lady Cara
Angiola de Boccaccio became Treasurer. Lady Adrienne de la Fere became our
Chronicler and Lord Klaus von Salzach became the Historian.
Many of
our grops reported interesting activities which I would like to bring to your
attention. Oldenfeld helped with Duke Sir Merowald's SCA-TC at Pennsica and has
put on a slide show for its members of highlights from past events attended by
its members. Gleann Dubh had a table at a local Science Fiction Convention.
Starhaven held a "Pre-Event Pretzel Knot Tying Revel." Wyvernwood, Narval
Dorado, Brineside Moor, and Storm provided entertainment at a medieval feast for
a convention of the Buster Brown Corporation. Each group received a $250.00
donation for providing dancers, singers, musicians, fighters and guards. Vaca
del Mar sold hot dogs and cotton candy at Coronation to raise money for their
group.
Twelve groups gave me interesting and encouraging stories as
examples which exemplified the Society's highest goals and purposes. I took on
the difficult task of choosing only some for inclusion here. Here are some of my
favorites.
Amyergorod reported that Morgan Bloodaxe gave up his chance
at Bardic Circle to babysit Lord Rurik's child while Rurik had to be elsewhere.
Darkwater reported that Raphael Guilbert Jeanin acted as the "legs" at
coronation, for a lady who had received foot surgery, carrrying her anywhere she
wanted to go.
Sea March reported that several of its members cleaned
the kitchen after Coronation, long after the kitchen crew had left.
Oldenfeld reported that on the way up to Pennsics, Ryujito Tafumi
(formerly Rodritch Talgwyth) proved a great asset to the group he was traveling
with. He helped with many mechanical problems on the various vehicles.
Southkeype repored that when Rebecca the Goldenhaired had a fire in
her apartment, Hafgan (formerly Hagan), Hertha, and Maigh spent the next day
clearing debris and salvaging what they could. Elizabeth generously washed
Rebecca's soot covered clothes.
Both sorrow and joy came to Trimaris
during this past quarter. On September 26th Nakagawa no Ienobu no kami, known as
Noriuji, died of cancer. Lord Ienobu, mka Deb Lansden, was known for giving to
both Trimaris and individuals. Her service standing gate guard inspired the
Order of the Watchful Flame. The joy that we felt was personified in Angelica,
who was born unto then Crown Prince Solomon and Crown Princess Chelsea in
August.
Those gentles traveling to the Debatable Lands for the Pennsic
War brought honor to Trimaris. Trinculo and Brendan McAngus were both knighted.
Unfortunately, the Queen had to return home early, this inspiring our battlecry
"Erika!" The Royal Army of Trimaris (Ouch! that's R.A.T.) proved itself once
again in battle by defending the banner of the East Kingdom.
At the
last court of TRM Seosaidh and Erika, Daren Goldenhair was knighted and
Vasilikee was made Mistress of the Pelican.
Martinmas Tourney
Talewinds, Vol.7, no.10, October AS XXIII On
11-25/27-88 The Shire of Peregrine Springs and friends invite you to Martinmas
Tourney at Camp Winona. Come and witness the trial by combat when our victorious
new Crown Prince and Consort shall emerge. Partake of delectable feast. There
shall be dancing and singing and all sort of merry making. Autocrat, Lord Cedric
Steinhauser, Feastcrat, H.L. Aspasia Moonwind and H.L. Loraybeck.
Award of
Arms - Sean Owen Mac Grioghair
Minutes of the Kingdom Officers' Meeting
His Majesty King Solomon and 28 officers, deputies and observers were in
attendance.
Vyctorya reported that during the last reign, awards were given
to non-members. This issue has gone all the way to the BoD. The Crown an
Seneschal will be receiving a ruling on this soon. She announced that any rumors
about this be put down. Anything about Coruts of Chivalry should be referred to
the Earl Marshal. There is no more to the story than this. Vyctorya
announced that there will be an amendment to Kingdom Law concerning the
attendance of Great Officers of State at Kingdom events. All Great Officers will
be required to attend four kingdom events per year; one Coronation, one Art/Sci,
one Crown Tourney, and one other.
Lord Klaus von Salzach made the
Hisorian's report next. He announced that he held a meeting at this event and
will soon be warranting his local historians. Klaus plans to write to the
registrar about getting a subscription to Talewinds for the Historian's file.
Lady Cara Angiola de Boccaccio gave the Treasurer's report next. She
reported that she has problems with only four groups. She is now working with
local officers to set up books for local groups. Cara said that she would like
to set up a budgety for the coming year. She asked for expense estimates (by
quarter) from the kingdom officers. Emergency expenses will be provided for.
The Honorable Lord Erik of Telemark gave the Minister of Children's
report. He reported that we are getting about nine children at each kingdom
event. He is trying to avoid becoming a day-care service. Erik asked for
coloring books or coloring sheets about the SCA (officer duties, heraldry, etc).
Vyctorya offered multi-media instructional aids to House Hobbyhorse. Mistress
Vasilikee suggested period type activities like storytelling and fairy tales.
Erik mentioned that Mikhail donated pillows and blankets.
The Earl
Marsha, Duchess Branwen bean Erin gave her report next. She reported that many
regulation changes have come down from the BoD. Authorization forms were getting
caught up when expiration dates and numbering were started. Her Grace reported
that we now have over 250 qualified fighters and 119 who are qualified as
archers.
Lady Islay gave the Chirurgeon's report next. She reported
that henceforth chirurgeons will be warranted to go on the field. 75% are
mundane medical professionals. Only the warranted chirurgeons (a list of those
is to appear in Talewinds) will act in any official capacity. A Chirurgeons
Auxillary will be formed. This will be made up of water bearers, errand runners,
and crown control people who are either minors or non- certified.
Lord
Juan Carlos Perez had a very brief Science report. He only reported that the
Science judging will be open to the public at Art/SCi.
Lord Guillermo
Perez announced in his Arts report that the Arts competition at Sea Raids will
be completely separate from the war. Guillermo also said that many people were
not happy with the arts section at Fool's War. Some are suggesting that the
rules be rotated since this is a three kingdom event.
Lady Fara
Steinhauser reported next as Chancellor of TRU. She reported that she has worked
out the Badge with Baron Master Taliesynne's help. The graduation scrolls are
ready. Fara complained that some of the deans have not been coming to events
enough. It was suggested that she get tough with these deans.
Lady
Adrienne de la Fere, the Chronicler, reported next. She complained that she had
not been getting much material from the kingdom officers. She would like more
articles, limited to half of a typeset page. When asked to clarify what should
go into Talewinds and what should got into Triskele, Adrienne said that general
informative articles should go in Talewinds while detailed how-to-articles
should go in the Triskele. H.L. Vyctorya suggested that officers put short
reports in Talewinds to save on mailing.
Our Sheriff, Lord Rurik
Petrovitch Stoianov gave his report next. Rurik reported that he had a bit of a
problem getting gate guards at this event. He also reported that he would like
autocrats to set aside a table for lost and found in the feast hall at events.
Lord Lancy Nystrom gave the Herald's report next. He reported that he
has streamlined his office by eliminating the four regional deputies and has
taken over the duties of the Sextant Herald himself. Lance would like all
heraldic business to go through him. H.L. Vyctorya closed the meeting by
announcing that Glymmerholde and the Ruins shall be co-hosting Spring Coronation
and Brineside Moor shall be hosting TMT.
