Being the online web log for the Southwestern Pennsylvania branch of the SCA, Inc.
The Stellar Tournament for the Sky List for Archery will resume on Sunday 10/22/23 at Archery Practice at the Washington Blvd site as we seek a new champion. Weather is looking to be cool, but mostly dry. So bring your bow and test your skill against our archers!

Greetings noble populace!
There is an opportunity to get a bit of dancing in on Friday October 20, 2023 at 6 pm. The location is John McMillan Presbyterian Church 875 Clifton Rd, Bethel Park, PA 15102
Gwendolyn Grace will be joining to teach the dances that will be on the setlist for the Baronial Investiture, so it is be a great time for newcomers to start dancing!
We will be in the main social hall of the church, just to the left inside the main entrance. Feel free to bring something tasty to share if so inclined.
Hi all from Niall!
The goats have relocated! (A little to the right, but enough for an archery range setup!) As such, we will be able to resume archery practice at our regular site on Washington Blvd., starting with today’s mid-week practice! Godzimir and I will be there starting at 4:30 pm with an open range for Royal Rounds, as well as a fall target for the Seasonal Society Archery Challenge.
Yours in service, Niall mac Raedwulf
Greetings Noble Populace,
Agincourt Feast has sold out!
Never fear; There will be a lovely lunch with your site fee.
In Service,
Muirgheal, Seneschal Debatable.
The menu for Agincourt has been released — THL Deirdre Scot of Clann Scot will be creating a memorable feast with both English and French cuisine from the 14th century. The spaces are going fast and per-registration will be ending next Saturday, 14 October at midnight.
For more information about the event, visit the event announcement on the Kingdom website.
If you’d like to get your reservation in for feast, please fill out the form online.
What’s an event as marvelous as Agincourt without A&S represented! I’ll be your humble hostess for the displays this year, and invite all to read the announcement below. A&S will have its own tent, just off of the main pavilion.
Any questions? Please feel free to reach out.

Greetings Noble Populace,
It is time for policy review. We have made some updates that were necessary to meet with The Society and Kingdom policies. We have suggested adding a few new things to make our Barony more inclusive and removed gendered language.
Please take the time to review these proposed changes. We will vote on them at the Business Meeting in December.
If you have questions, concerns, commentary please email seneschal@debatabelands.org so that the officers can review your commentary and answer questions.
In Service,
Muirgheal, Seneschal Debatable

Hi all from Niall!
Because of the special gathering in remembrance of Ronan O’Conaill, and our need to use the temporary archery practice location for (hopefully) only one more week, we will once again not be having Sunday archery practice this week. We will have another mid-week practice on Wednesday, October 11th, at the North Park range from 4:30 pm until 7:00 pm.
The following Sunday, October 15th, we will resume regular practices at the Washington Blvd. location, at 11:00 am.
Also, stay tuned for news about the next Sky List Stellar Tournament.
Yours in service, Niall mac Raedwulf.
Hello everyone. As you may know, I will be stepping down as Baronial Signet along with Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda. Our wonderful Nextellencies, Prima and Violets, will be in need of a new Signet.
The Baronial Signet is a Deputy of the Baronage, and is in charge of making sure that scrolls happen for the various Baronial Awards that are awarded at Baronial events. This includes: finding willing illuminators, Calligraphers and wordsmiths to commit to the various award scrolls; collecting said scrolls either ahead of time or at events; assisting their Excellencies during court prep, providing a store of scroll cases for the Barony to be given out with each scroll at court, and encouraging and fostering the Scribes of the Barony by hosting the official Scriptorium either virtually or in person.
Please send a letter of interest to Their Nextellencies Prima and Violeta at baronage@debatablelands.org by Sunday October 15 2023.
I will be available to help the new Signet transition successfully. I will also be continuing in my position as Region 2 Deputy Signet, so I’ll still be involved in scribally goodness.
Thank you everyone for a wonderful 7+ years as Baronial Signet.
In service,
THL Rachel Dalicieux
BMDL Signet
Region 2 Deputy Signet
