CBC Calgary Eyeopener – Interview with Their Majesties
Hear ye, hear ye! The new King and Queen of the kingdom of Avacal joins us in studio. We hear all about the fantasy world created by the Society for Creative Anachronism.
From the King and Queen
Hail, noble populace of our beloved Avacal,
As the sun sets on another glorious war season, we find ourselves amidst the whispers of autumn winds, the rustle of falling leaves, and the gentle embrace of a chilling breeze. The fields, once battlegrounds, are now adorned with the golden hues of ripened crops, ready for harvest. The toil of the land has yielded its bounty, a testament to the enduring spirit of our people. With the harvest moon illuminating our nights, we invite you all to revel in the fruits of your labor. The air is crisp, filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and the warmth of hearth fires. It’s a time for celebration, a moment to savor the fruits of our collective efforts. As the last sheaf is gathered and the final apple plucked, let us come together to feast, to sing, and to share the stories of our triumphs and challenges.
Yet, with every season, change graces our lands. The sun, now waning, signals not only the end of war but the conclusion of our reign. Our time as your sovereigns draws to a close, and with hearts both full and hopeful, we look towards the future. We invite you to join us in a grand celebration, where we shall crown our heirs – those who will guide our kingdom in the times ahead. It’s a moment of great anticipation, a bridge between the familiar past and the promising unknown. Together, we shall witness the dawning of a new era, a time for fresh ambitions and uncharted adventures.
So, dear friends, let us gather in the warmth of camaraderie and the glow of shared stories. Let us revel in the abundance of the harvest, appreciating the labor that brought us here. Let us bid farewell to the past season and welcome the coming winter with open hearts and open arms.
With love for our kingdom and gratitude for your unwavering support,
Gunther Rorikson, King
Eyoddi Lokadottir, Queen

September 2023 Curia Minutes
The Minutes from Curia at September Crown are now available:
From the King and Queen
Thank you to all of Avacal from Your King and Queen. Her Majesty Eyoddi and I are humble by your service to and love of this Kingdom. So many wonderful events at Crown this past weekend.
Congratulations first to Our Heirs Prince Ellias and Princess Kiera. Both fought fiercely and with Your combined skill and experience ruling this Kingdom, We know that Avacal will be in good hands.
To the Silver Griffins, Hrogn and Astrid, you both also fought fiercely and We know that it is only a matter of time until you will also rule this Kingdom.
We cannot describe the honor and privilege that it was to be able to elevate such worthy and noble peers. When fighting in Crown I admit the desire to elevate My Ispiration to be Queen. But I never realized how incredible it was to be able to be a small part of the recognition of the your deeds.
Thank you Catra, Amery, and Hamelin for allowing us to be the ones to formally recognize all that you have done for Avacal and the SCA.
A new Youth Champion was brought to us on the winds. Vesla has already begun to gather wordfame. I am excited to see how you work to promote youth combat in Avacal over your term as Our Champion.
Finally a thank you to event stewards, heralds, marshalls, archers, teachers, bards, gards, artisans, merchants, organizers and volunteers and every other person too numerous to list who contributed in any and ever way to making Our Crown event something we will always remember. Our reign is half done but these moments we share last in fond memory until the end of time.
