In Person SCA Activities Suspended in the East Kingdom

“Good evening, East Kingdom Populace,

With the care of the Kingdom ever in mind, Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, the Seneschal-Elect, and the Kingdom Seneschal have agreed that we must shut down all in-person events, meetings, practices, and other activities in the East for two weeks, until January 17th.

The Omicron variant of COVID is at its peak for the next 2 weeks, is highly transmissible, and highly virulent. This is a risk we cannot ask folks on staff to take on behalf of the Kingdom.

Over the weekend of January 15th and 16th, we will revisit the scientific data to see whether extending or lifting this shut-down is warranted. Their Majesties and Their Highnesses will also review options for ethereal Court or postponed in-person events. We ask the populace for patience as the Royal Staff assess how to best address this delay in cherished plans.

In the meantime, we urge East’s Tyger populace to take good care of yourselves: practice social distancing, wear masks correctly at all times in public, and stay home when feeling ill, so that when we can gather, we can do so with joyful spirits.

In service to the Kingdom,

Medhbh inghean Ui Cheallaigh, Kingdom Seneschal

Audrye Beneyt, Kingdom Seneschal-Elect

Ioannes II and Honig II, Emperor and Empress

Ryouko’jin and Indrakshi, Heirs to the Tyger Throne”

This announcement has been forwarded from the East Kingdom Official Discussion Group on Facebook. The original announcement was published on 1/2/2022

Upcoming in Østgarðr: Dec 27th – Jan 9th

Learn how to thrive at the Pennsic War

The Canton of Lions is pleased to announce the return of Pennsic 101: A Newcomer’s Guide to the Pennsic War on Monday, December 27th at 7:00 p.m.

Please join our own Lady Jenna Childerslayer as she conducts a class on how to prepare for Pennsic. In Jenna’s own words: “Pennsic is a most wonderful SCA event and attending this class will help you to both prepare and have the best time possible. We will discuss how to prepare for Pennsic, what you will need to do and bring. We will answer questions you may have on how to get your things to Pennsic and what you can expect when you finally get there and get set up.

There is an extensive class handout (essentially the class notes) that will be made available as a
PDF. Please have a way to jot down questions, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask them!
Time permitting we’ll also take a quick look at budgeting for the trip/what expenses to expect.
This class will NOT be recorded.”

This class will be held online via Google Meet. Here is the joining information for the class:
