Order of Precedence

Order of Precedence is a sequential heirarchy of rank. In the SCA, this takes the form of recognition of awards received, the rank of the award and when the person recieved it. In formal events, the Order of Precedence plays a part in how members of the SCA relate to each other. For example: in Crown tournament, combatants and their consorts are presented to the crown before the tournament in Order of Precedence.

In Atenveldt's Online order of precedence, a person need not have an award to be listed. With photos from a good portion of our populace, the OP works as a who's who in Atenveldt. Feel free to explore around a bit.

Order of the Fish

Kingdom of Atenveldt

(Award Closed)

Award Charter

We have seen that the fighting orders have received continuous reward for their prowess, but the Order of the pelican and the Order of the laurel often receive nothing for their good works. It is our desire to create the Order of the Fish for the Pelicans and the Order of the Nut for the Laurels. At the end of each King’s reign, if he desires, he may give a Fish to a Pelican and a Nut to a Laurel. These awards are given for activities done during the reign of the King that show the continuation of the high standards of behavior expected of a Pelican and a Laurel. The sign of the Order of the Nut will be a walnut proper on a green ribbon, and the sign of the Order of the Fish will be a fish on a green ribbon. If a Laurel receives the Order of the Nut more than once; then, if he so desires, may wear as many nuts as times as he has received them. Likewise, this holds true for the Pelicans with the fish. After receiving the Order of the Nut, the Laurel may place a walnut in Canton on his device and the Pelican may place a fish in Canton on his device. If a Laurel receives the nut more than once or a Pelican receives the fish more than once, they may place, if they desire, as many nuts or fish as they have received in the Canton.

Signed and Sealed this 3^rd day of March A.S. XIII

Regarding Persona ID theft - Tuesday, November 20, 2007

From the President's Oct 2007 report

Publishable Summary: Persona Theft and False Awards and Honors. I find myself compelled to use this space to speak to the membership about a fairly rare problem that has tripled in quantity and directly detracts from the inherent value of the entire system of Theatrical reenactment and recognition of excellence that flavor so much of the Society. I refer here to the growing number of cases where we find someone either claiming to be possessed of the titles of a peer/noble/notable person-or outright stealing/borrowing the persona and titles of a person who labored long and hard for the honors and reputation being so casually nicked.
No sense of fame or positive regard is worth the ignominious and final demise that awaits the SCA career of anyone we catch doing this. And they are always caught. I do not write of this problem and ask the membership to teach our new folk the value of earning honors as opposed to sneakily claiming them because I worry the perpetrators will get away with the caper. They will not. I worry about the disheartening impact on the members and participants who work with good souls, a sound conscience, and can lose faith in what we are and seek to do when they encounter such crass thievery. This growing problem will be stemmed by the swift and final treatment of those caught in the act of persona theft/false honors-that is *my* job and I am all over it. It will also be eased by teaching our new folk what the path to recognition is and encouraging them to walk upon it.
