Current Reign and Preferences


Wassail to their now-Majesties, Rattianicus and Isobel. 
  • Their Majesties will be styling themselves as King and Queen / Rex et Regina Ealdormerensis. A note for Heralds and Wordsmiths, Her Majesty would prefer the medieval Latin pronounciation of reh-JEEN-ah, rather than the classical Latin reh-GEEN-ah.
  • Generally, their Majesties will be using Hanging Wax Seals for scrolls; however, "While We intend to use primarily hanging wax seals, We will adjust to the seal being on the scroll if it seems more suited to that."
  • where possible and, importantly, when the scribe(s) feel that it would not be in poor taste or otherwise poorly recieved, that scrolls for this reign include some nod to "the Year of the Plague" - whether that be literal in the wording, or perhaps a rat in the illumination, or even a full-blown danse macabre. Again, if we feel that the recipient would be amenable to such a thing.​
  • Their Majesties have no further whims concerning scrolls; they have declared they would prefer scrolls to be tailored to the recipient's persona than their own.
Given the unusual times we live in, Scroll Assignments may be coming in without a clear idea of when they will be announced to the populace and given to the recpient. To that end, they advise (and I concur) to do scrolls leaving blank space for the event and date to be written in when time has a firmer meaning in the Current Middle Ages.

Scriptoriums planned 

Something new is about to happen for Ealdormere's scribal community. You may have attended an open scriptorium at some point. You are about to find these happening at a lot more events. 

These are informal workshops and social gatherings, a chance to spend time doing our art together. Bring your own projects or make use of the provided materials which are now available from the scribal fund for education. Please encourage anyone interested to make use of the scriptoriums as basic supplies will be provided. 

Thanks to donations from the Baronies there will be opportunities for all of us to try some of the more luxuriant materials that not all scribes have had opportunity to use (so long as quantities last). Watch for announcements, on the Scribal College Web-page and Facebook group, of which events those materials will be available. 
  • Donations of tools or materials are welcomed.
  • There will be a donation bank at the scriptorium if you wish to help the scribal fund.

We can all learn from one another so anyone of any skill level is welcome to share their knowledge and skills. 

We will need volunteers: to arrange with autocrats for table space in well-lit areas ( preferably in open areas of events), to make sure scriptoriums are advertised on the event web-page and facebook events, and to take care of materials. This is an opportunity to teach though in an informal setting. Please let me know if you would like to head up a scriptorium at an event. You don't have to be an expert, just willing to help. 

But if you have a particular skill you would like to share as a feature at a scriptorium (eg: we could have a focus on cadels, or making ink, or burnishing gilding...) that would also be welcome.

If you have any questions or suggestions, or wish to help, please contact me, Mistress Marioun at kathygolightly1@aim.com
