by Marg Henley 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

As our very close neighbours, and bearing in mind that many of our populace are also active in a Stormhold, I am sharing these words regarding the Stormhold baronial succession. Baroness Margie. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jean-Christophe le Saussier via Stormlist <stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 at 9:11 pm Subject: [Stormlist] Baronial Succession - Candidates Announced! To: <stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org> Cc: Jean-Christophe le Saussier <stormholdsuccession2026(a)gmail.com> Good evening Stormhold! Pray, heed my words on behalf of Their Majesties Konungr Þorvaldr and Dróttning Amabilia! So it went that the ending date for self nomination to succeed Their Excellencies Stormhold came, and Their Majesties reviewed the words of those who would stand and found them acceptable. Thus, it is my pleasure to name *Lord Angus Galloway* (known also as Alex Davis) and *Lord Raw Pengwyne* (known also as Akiva Anderson) as those who would stand to be named by Their Majesties as Baronage Stormhold. I include their Letter of Intent (with personal contact information removed and including photographs for those who are better at knowing faces than names) at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/187-ZaZ3J3iPwhetFWBBT8dsr_zEMoNTT/view?usp=… We now enter a time of contemplation. A series of "Meet and Greet" sessions will be organised, both in person and online, over the coming weeks, to give the populace a chance to ask questions and have the candidates answer them. If you would like to have any questions asked anonymously, please email them to myself at stormholdsuccession2026(a)gmail.com. Additionally, if there are any areas of concern within the Barony you would like the candidates to address directly, please also send them to me. Following the "Meet and Greet" sessions, a poll of the Populace will be conducted. Further missives will be forthcoming with information on this. I Remain, Faithfully In Service to the Crown and Kingdom of Lochac Maistre Jean-Christophe le Saussier, Companion of the Order of the Pelican _______________________________________________ You could also check out our webpage - http://stormhold.lochac.sca.org/ Stormlist mailing list -- stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org To unsubscribe send an email to stormlist-leave(a)lochac.sca.org

Fwd: [announce] Crown Tournament Lists
by Marg Henley 21 Feb '26

21 Feb '26

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: crown--- via Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 at 2:40 pm Subject: [announce] Crown Tournament Lists To: Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Hearken, people of Lochac, and give ear to tidings of steel and honour, for the time draws nigh when the fate of the realm shall be weighed upon the edges of swords in the fields of Mordenvale next Saturday. There shall the Crown Tournament be fought, and from that storm of spears shall arise the rightful Heirs to bear the weight of kingdom and crown. These are the names of those who come forward, as in the tales of old, each with their sworn inspiration: First steps forth Good Gentle Titus Aurelius Valens Ruptor Clipeōrum, breaker of shields, who lifts his sword in loyal service to Count Sir Berenger of Nancy. Sir Gregory of Lochswan tightens his helm‑straps and swears his strength to Countess Lilya Bint Hizir, whose courage shines as a torch before him. Jarl ThorolfR olfuss Brandsson, bold in counsel and keen in battle, takes the field for Jarlskona Halla Vinagjafar Hrafnsdóttir, whose wisdom sits upon her like a mantle of silver. Count Aonghus mac Griogair mhic Raghnaill, seasoned in many tourneys, girds himself for Contessa Magnifica Ginevra Lucia di Namoraza, bright as the morning over the sea‑cliffs. Marquis Bain of Stornoway, storm‑strong and steadfast, fights in the name of Marquesa Iglesia Delamere, whose word is as sure as oaths on the ring. Master Cormac Lenihan, cunning in craft and valiant in arms, stands in the lists for Mistress Elspeth Caerwent, she who is rich in honour and renown. Sir Ianto van Diemen, whose blows fall like the strokes of oars on a war‑ship’s course, raises his blade for Baroness Vitez Tatiana, well‑beloved and generous of heart. Sir Yves la Chat Blac, quick as the shadow of a raven’s wing, contests for The Honourable Lady Petra Picassio, whose favour he bears as a treasured token. Sir Hanbal al‑Barbari, whose courage is sung in many halls, goes forth for Baroness Ute von Tangermünde, lady of firm mind and fair fame. The Honourable Lord Galen Wulfric, wolf‑bold amid the spear‑hedge, fights for Mistress Slaine Inguian Ui Rhudahan, whose counsel is keen as a whetstone. The Honourable Lady Aia, steadfast as an oaken shield, bears arms for Master Angus Macdougall, whose name is known where war‑songs are sung. The Honourable Noble Valentine Selbie, bright as spring on the fjords, contends for Domina Fabia Maxima, whose glory shines like gold upon the high seat. The Honourable Lord Clifford Ascheburner, whose deeds glow like coals beneath the ash, takes the field for Lady Rhianna verch y Koedwr, whose spirit is as the green strength of the deep woods. Lord Eamon MacLochlainn, keen‑eyed and battle‑ready, fights for Lady Cristin Verch Reys, whose honour stands firm as a hall in winter storm. Lord Leo of Achaia, lion‑heart among warriors, sets his spear‑will in service to Lady Rose le Taillor, as fair and deft as her name. Lord Alexander Scipio Valerius, whose resolve is iron‑hard, strives in the lists for Isaac of St Florian, whose courage he holds dearer than gold. Isaac of St Florian, in turn, girds himself for Lord Alexander Scipio Valerius, and thus do these two stand shield to shield, each the other’s chosen and sworn. Henry Kelson, ready for the clash of arms, comes forward for Malichite of St Florian, whose spirit is bright as a banner snapping in the wind. Let all good folk of the kingdom mark these names and keep them as saga‑words in memory, for soon shall they be tested beneath the wide sky of Mordenvale in a hard‑fought best‑of‑three, double‑elimination contest of arms. Come then, nobles and commons, skalds and shield‑bearers, to witness this great game of honour, where steel will speak, oaths will stand fast, and from among these stout‑hearted contenders in the stern counting of many bouts shall rise the future Crown of Lochac.

Fwd: [announce] Changes to Fighter Auction Tourney
by Marg Henley 21 Feb '26

21 Feb '26

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Rowany Festival Stewards via Lochac Announce < lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 at 10:35 pm Subject: [announce] Changes to Fighter Auction Tourney To: <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Greetings to the populace of Lochac, Firstly I wish to assure you all that this message is not a scary as the title implies. We will not be making any changes to how the tourney itself is run or when it is held. We are *trialling *a new system for the distribution of prizes. Please distribute this information to as many Lochac lists as possible. Thank you. *Proposed changes to the Rowany Festival Fighter Auction Tournaments.* Each fighter will be required to provide their prize at the time of the auction. Prizes will still be accepted from the populace. Prizes must be donated before the auction. Fighters who do not have a prize will have one randomly assigned from the pool of donated prizes. The fighter will then pass the prize to their patron once payment has been made to the list officers. Should a fighter withdraw from the tournament it is the buyers choice whether to keep the prize or return it for a refund. There are many options for acceptable prizes including handmade goods, promissory notes, materials and offers of labour (eg: I'll pack your trailer). It is hoped that this will reduce work for the list keepers after the tournaments as they will not need to organise the distribution of prizes. It will also mean that patrons will not need to wait around for their turn to choose their prize. It is also hoped that it will reduce stress for fighters. They will not have to worry about being knocked out early as their patron will already have the prize. It is felt that this will have minimal impact on the money raised as fighter prices do not currently reflect the value of donated prizes. Again please note, this is a TRIAL for this year. If it doesn't work we will revert to the previous system.
