Warmest greetings unto the College of Heralds of the Kingdom of Lochac, and unto any others who may read this missive from William Castille, Crux Australis Principal Herald

From Crux Australis

Greetings all,

Well, here we are with my first CAMeL. There have been a number of changes in the roster both at the Crux level and at the group level. The changes at the Crux level can be found below. The group level changes are on the website. Thanks to Wakeline we now have a new roster site with the facility for people to easily keep their details up to date, so please check out the roster on the site www.sca.org.au/herald/roster/roster.xml.

Speaking of the website, there is now a site for tracking submissions www.sca.org.au/herald/commentary/subtracking.php. So if you get any queries about where a submission is at, just direct the person to the website.

New Forms

There are new submission forms. These are being phased in over the next few months. The old forms will not accepted after the 27th of October. Any submissions on the old forms will be subject to administrative return. http://www.sca.org.au/herald/submissions.html. The RTF format forms are editable as long as the underlying structure and layout and not altered.

Submission process.

The submission process within in the Lochac college has been split up. Tamsyn Northover is now Rocket herald responsible for the external component of the submissions process. Once I have the Commentary website working properly I will be re-activating the Ordinnance herald position to take care of the internal component. This position will be responsible for receiving submissions, banking monies, loading submission information to the commentary site, internal letters of return and the production of the C.A.M.e.L.

We now have a commentary website (http://www.sca.org.au/herald/commentary/commentary.php) and list (the Bonacon). I would encourage everyone to join the list (http://www.sca.org.au/mailman/listinfo/bonacon/) and have a go at commenting.

CanonLore

Thanks to Karl Faustus (aka Fruitbat) for getting the CanonLore up and going. He is currently working on getting the editing software written. Once that is working satisfactorily, I will appoint a new Canon herald.

Submission Requirements

Cost: $20 per new submission (name, device or badge). No cost for resubmissions (within the permitted time limit) or branch submissions. Note: a new name and device costs a total of $40. Make cheques or money orders payable to "SCA Inc. College of Heralds". Do not send cash through the post!

Copies required:

NAMES: Two (2) copies of both the form and ALL documentation, including title page of each book NB: The title page is not the same as the book cover! Essays about a submitter's persona may be entertaining, but do NOT constitute documentation. When citing web sites as documentation, you must include a printout of the pages used. Please don't staple your forms, paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.

DEVICES AND BADGES: Four (4) colour copies and one (1) black & white OUTLINE copy. The colour copies should be accurately coloured, preferably in felt tip pen. Colour printers or faint coloured pencil is not acceptable. The colours must be visible across a crowded Herald's meeting. Laurel has requested that gold pen NOT be used, as it deteriorates in files and turns to glue. Please don't staple your forms, assuming that all goes well at kingdom level they are separated and go to four different homes. Paperclips are fine and loose is ok too. 

Please include ALL necessary documentation to support each submission. It is the responsibility of the submitter to present their submission in a way that makes registration easy. Name documentation should be as accurate as possible. Failure to provide sufficient documentation is a cause for return of your submission. If you are having trouble with your documentation then speak to your local herald. If they can't answer your specific question, consider writing to Blazons, or contacting me. If I don't know the answer but I will at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who will.

“In general, in Welsh spelling, the ‘ei’ spelling [Owein] was just beginning to be replaced by the ‘ai’ spelling in the 14th century – a change that was more characteristic of the 15th-16th century”

http://www.s-gabriel.org/366

7.Ulrich z Karlštejn

New name

The submitter desires a male Bohemian(Czech) name suitable for 1420. He cares equally about language/culture and meaning, wishing the name to mean Ulrich from the town Karlstein. He will NOT accept major changes.

Ulrich is found in dated from 1250-1369 in “Medieval German given names from Silesia – men’s names”

http://www/s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowMasc.html and in “German names from 1495”

http://www.edllipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/german1495.html

z Karlštejn The submitter claims that z is a “Czech joiner meaning ‘from’ (Czech Dictionary), similar to the German von which was also regularly used”. He has not provided copies.

Numerous copies were provided from history texts documenting the founding of Karlštejn (also referred to as Karlstein) castle in 1348, it’s inclusion within the borders of Bohemia in 1378 and it’s continued existence to this day. It seems likely that the name has been normalised in these citations. The assistance of the College is requested to locate a dated form.
