Unto the Heralds and Populace of Lochac, greetings.

I hope everyone had a restful Festive Season. The season being one reason for the delay in this CAMEL. The other is that I wanted to wait until after 12th Night so that I could follow up an announcement.

At Rowany Festival, I announced that I would be establishing a deputy role for Silent Heralding. Recently I called for applicants for the position. At 12th Night, I announced the person who will be taking on the role: Lady Jadwiga ze Katowice from Politarchopolis. Mundanely Lady Jadwiga is training to be a sign language interpreter, and I look forward to seeing her use that training to help develop the processes by which the Kingdom provides greater inclusion at events. When I made the announcement, I taught those in attendance (who didn’t know) how the applaud in sign language. It was heartwarming to see some people (including landed Barons and Baronesses) continuing to sign applause during the ‘huzzahs’ even after Court had moved on to other business. From these small steps, change can come.

Here are the registrations from the October LoAR, where there were three “Nice!” out of eight names … well done Lochac!:
