Welcome to our Kingdom!
A Missive from Their Royal Majesties of Æthelmearc:
Greetings Fair Æthelmearc, We are honored to serve once again as the crown of Æthelmearc.
We need your counsel on who is deserving of recognition and awards, especially being able to recognize newer participants. These are often the ones we don’t know yet. That being said it is also important to occasionally look at the longer picture to make sure those who have been steadfast and continued to serve and excel are recommended to the poling order that fits.
Our crown tourney approaches quickly to choose our heirs. We look forward to securing the lineage of the Royal House of AEthelmearc. Come out and join us in the pageantry and prowess of AEthelmearc.
We will be traveling to many events this month in AEthelmearc and we will be also be traveling to Atlantia to join our noble cousins at the War of the Wings on Oct 19-21. Its good to cross our borders and see the dream in other places.
Our Thrown weapons championship will be at Agincourt Oct 28 We will be issuing a pilgrimage challenge to visit all the regions of AEthelmearc. More information will be coming soon. We are so excited about and proud of this glorious kingdom and the great works our populace is doing.
Ad Glorium Æthelmearc!
Gareth and Juliana
Rex and Regina Æthelmearc

From the Kingdom Seneschal, Mistress Illadore:
Greetings Aethelmearc,
This is my last letter as Kingdom Seneschal. Baron Pádraig Ó Branduibh has been selected and will have the reins after me. He is enthusiastic and thoughtful. I know you all will show him courtesy and consideration, as this is a large and somewhat thankless position. Please treat him well.
I would like to thank the amazing network of former and current Kingdom Seneschals who did their best to keep me sane (I know, an impossible job) during the past four years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would be remiss if
I did not thank all of my Deputies, past and present, for being such fantastic, hard working, diligent, and helpful people. Being a Kingdom Seneschal means you get to deal with the day to day grind of being a volunteer regional vice president of a non-profit organization that’s held together based on dreams, beliefs, duct tape, PVC, and email, and you cannot do it alone.
I would also like to thank all Kingdom officers, past and present, who I had the pleasure to work with. Your jobs are thankless so please let me say, “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. Very few understand just how demanding these jobs can be, but I get it and I thank you for helping to keep the Kingdom running.
My biggest “lessons learned” from my past four years is that this great Kingdom is made up of amazing people – and can be fragile and needs tending. Be kind to each other.
Always,
Illadore
