Greetings, good gentles of Atlantia!

These pages contain the most recent updates to the Great Book of Law, the Book of Policy, and the Kingdom Financial Policy. The Book of Law is published at the start of each reign (see Kingdom Law, section 1.6). All changes made by our Crown and Great Officers of State are posted here to keep you informed of these changes in a timely manner.

If you have suggestions for improvements to these pages, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours in service,
Lady Courtney de Houghton
Atlantian Kingdom Clerk of Law


The following Law change was published in the August 2009 Acorn.

2.1   Outgoing Crowns and Kingdom Records

The following Kingdom records shall be maintained by the Crown as indicated and transferred to their successor no later than one week after Coronation.

  1. Order polling information and commentary (orders of merit, orders of patent): to be maintained no longer than one reign after receipt.

  2. Baronial pollings and pollings of confidence: to be turned over to the Kingdom Seneschal maintained until term of referenced baronage expires.

  3. Treaties and charters: to be maintained until published in Law.

  4. Sanctions (all correspondence including emails, notes, and records): to be maintained for one reign after completion and then transferred to the Kingdom Seneschal.

4.8   Ensuring Membership of Local Officers

Officers of State shall ensure that all appointed officers of local branches are either patron, contributing, or sustaining members of the SCA, Inc., or are associate or family members with immediate access to the Kingdom newsletter provided by a subscribing membership at their residence. This shall be checked at least once per reign. Should the Crown request it, each Kingdom Officer of State shall submit a roster of warranted officers to Their Majesties.

4.11.10   The Kingdom Chatelaine shall coordinate materials and information for the assimilation of new members to the Society.

6.2.2.2   Atlantia's non-protected Kingdom Events. No Society event shall be held within 150 miles of a non-protected Kingdom Event without the permission of the Crown and the Kingdom Seneschal. Other events cannot be scheduled until a site has been selected.

6.3.1   The first branch or group to submit a fully completed Event Registration Form to the Kingdom Chronicler (or his/her duly appointed deputy) may, once per Society year, request that subsequent event requests be restricted from having an event on the same date within 150 driving miles of their event. This distance will be calculated over the most widely traveled route (site to site). Branches or groups submitting an Event registration Form that does not include a site location (TBA) may not request this restriction until they locate a site and inform the Kingdom Chronicler's office of the change.

6.2.5.1.9   Combatants and their consorts in Crown List must have arms registered with the College of Heralds or present proof of heraldic submission through a warranted herald prior to Crown Tournament.

Appendix F: The Royal Archer is known for their excellence on the archery ranges. The Royal Archer is to be chosen each year by right of arms. The outgoing Royal Archer shall conduct, and not participate in, an archery shoot open to all at an event where archery is the focus of the day. The top eight scoring archers from Atlantia at that archery event, who so choose to compete for the title, shall compete in a single elimination tournament. At the discretion of the Crown, the winner of the tournament shall become the new Royal Archer.


The following Policy changes were published in the August 2009 Acorn.

2.11.2   The Scrivener Royal is a Kingdom Notable chosen through competition overseen by the Clerk of the Signet. The position is held for a one-year term. Duties are to be a scribal assistant to the Crown and the Clerk of Signet, primarily dealing with scroll production and any special scribal needs at events.

2.11.3.1   The Clerk of the Signet, (here after known as Signet) is solely responsible for the assignment of scrolls to the College of Scribes.

2.11.3.3   Scribes are expected to maintain valid contact information with the Office of the Signet. Inability to locate scribes may result in released assignments.

2.11.3.4   Award recipients who no longer participate in Society functions will have their scrolls completed on a lesser priority to those awards received by active participants.

2.11.3.5   All scrolls should be inspected and verified by the Signet before being presented for signature and/or seal by the Crown and/or Triton Herald.

2.11.3.6   The accuracy of scrolls not inspected and verified by the Signet shall be the responsibility of those signing the scrolls. The Crowns signing are responsible only for the verification of the award bestowed to the recipient.

2.11.3.7   If an award scroll has a display of Arms and or blazon, the recipient must have registered both Name and Arms with the College of Arms. The scroll will include text of verification by Triton below the Royal Signatures. If the recipient does not have a registered name and/or device they may receive a scroll with the text "known as" with the name they are known by and no depiction of arms.

2.11.3.8   In cases where scrolls are delivered directly to the recipient, responsibility for obtaining signature/seal by the Crown (and Triton as needed) devolves to the recipient.

2.11.3.9   Until an award is announced in court, the scroll for it is considered an assignment. All assignments are the responsibility of the Signet, unless otherwise directed by the current Monarchs.

2.11.3.10   All scrolls once given to the Signet, Court Herald or other Royal representative become the property of the Kingdom.

2.11.3.11   Private commissions are permitted and encouraged. The Signet must be notified of the commission to prevent duplicate assignments. The Office of the Signet has no responsibility or authority to ensure that the commissioned scroll meets our guidelines.

2.11.3.12   A privately commissioned scroll is defined as "a scroll production done via an agreement between a scribe and an interested person". This agreement may or may not include direct compensation or exchange of services. Scrolls are commissioned only after an award is announced in court.

2.11.4   The Signet will assist Atlantians moving out of Kingdom in contacting the Scroll Officer in their new Kingdom of residence to facilitate scroll production there, if so requested by the relocating Atlantian award recipient.
