==Who They Are==
The Order of the Mark is a Society-wide order given for excellence in ranged weapons including Archery, Combat Archery, Equestrian Archery, Thrown Weapons, and Siege Weapons. It is one of the five major Bestowed Peerages and bestows a Patent of Arms.

Members of the order are recognized for their great skill at ranged weapons plus their qualities of courtesy and grace; their willingness to teach others; and their service to the kingdom.

It is an accolade recognized throughout the Society; any Masters of the Mark who move into Atenveldt are welcomed as equal members of the Order of the Mark in Atenveldt.
==Regalia==
[[File:MarkBracers.png|alt=image of Mark Bracers|thumb|263x263px|Mark Bracers]]
The SCA College of heralds reserves the following badge/regalia for the Order of the Mark:
*(Tinctureless) A set of nesting scale weights within and conjoined to a mascle fleury at the upper point.
*White vanbraces are reserved for the exclusive use of the Master/Mistress of the Mark.
As laid out in the "''Sumptuary Traditions and Guidelines of the Kingdom of Atenveldt''" by tradition, they are entitled to wear "a set of nesting scale weights within and conjoined to a mascle fleury at the upper point" in many forms, including hanging from a small link chain or on a Collar of Estate.
==Titles==
Members of this order are referred to as Masters and Mistresses of the Mark. However, the SCA encourages peers to use alternative titles that may fit their persona's culture or persona.
==Peerage Qualities==
Peerages are the highest level of award given in the SCA, and they recognize outstanding service to the Kingdom or expertise in a particular area. However, a peer is more than that; they have to show qualities worthy of the title of peer, such as courtesy and respect to others, passion about sharing their knowledge, and a significant role in our community. In short, be the kind of person we want to admire. SCA Corpora<ref name=":0">Section VIII.A.1 ''"Patent of Arms - General Requirements"'' ''[https://www.sca.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Gov-Docs-2025-08-21-V13.pdf The Corpora of the SCA]'', SCA Inc., 21 Aug. 2025, www.sca.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Gov-Docs-2025-08-21-V13.pdf.</ref> outlines these traits as follows:
Our Peers can be some of the most well-known and respected members of the SCA community. The Candidates for any order conferring a Patent of Arms must meet the following minimum criteria. Additional requirements may be set by law and custom of the kingdoms as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Crown.<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
<li>They shall have been obedient to the governing documents of the Society and the laws of the kingdom.
<li>They shall have consistently shown respect for the Crown of the kingdom.
<li>They shall have set an example of courteous and noble behavior suitable to a peer of the realm.

</ol>
Each candidate for a patent order must satisfy the general requirements listed above, as well as the specific requirements listed here
==Responsibilities==
Members of the Order of the Mark may choose to swear fealty, but are not required to do so. The candidate must have attained the standard of excellence in skill and/or knowledge equal to that of their prospective peers in some area of Ranged Weapons. The candidate must have applied this skill and/or knowledge for the instruction of members and service to the kingdom to an extent above and beyond that normally expected of members of the Society. The duties of the members of the order are as follows:
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
<li>To set an example of courtesy and chivalrous conduct.

==What's in a name?==
Once upon a time in the middle ages a group of individuals each witnessed a celestial event of such a magnitude it was visible in daylight. (Think supernova of the 11th century, any number of comets etc.) Tagesterne literally translates to Daystar. This event had such a profound impact that they were drawn together and united in what can only be expressed as a near religious experience. We, the members of Haus Tagesterne, keep our gaze ever upwards both physically and figuratively in wonderous exploration thru our crafts, our arts, our merriment and prowess.

==Motto==
Nos vere potest non canta

==Mascot==
Wombat!

==Locations==
Tir Ysgithr, Twin Moons, Mons Tonitrus and a few scattered to other kingdoms.

==History==
Originally formed in approximately Anno Societatis 21 (1987) by Nathanial Constantine, Grundle, Gwin. Possibly a few more who fell out soon after. Numbers have fluctuated over the years but the Haus has always been composed of a relatively tight knit group of friends.

Through the early to mid 90's there always remained perhaps 3 to 8 active members with numbers up into the 20's at large events.

From A.S. 34 (2000) to A.S. 44 consistantly active members dropped to just a few however camp attendance at Estrella War was booming. These were the first glory days of Tagesterne. Period pavalions started appearing and the “gate” version 1 was created. Our arts were improving. We had squires. We won brewing competitions. There was music and singing. Really bad singing. There was much wandering. This was a time when many rituals were formed: Some lost, some continue to this day.

A.S. 45 to A.S. 50 finds us in a bit of a transition period. A bit of reality gets in the way of the dream. Adult life becomes a thing. Interests change. Loves are lost. People move out of kingdom. Some return.

A.S. 50 to A.S. 56. Like a change of seasons new life springs forth. New members are inducted. Some receive AoA's after years in the Society. We survive a plague. There is singing again and it's not all bad.

A.S. 56 to A.S. 58. Activity in the house picks up. Benedikt becomes archery captain of Twin Moons and goes SCA bonkers. New members are brought in through archery. Benedikt becomes head of the Haus and drags a few members to other events. Barmaids, a couple Highlands War's and then everyone rallys at War of the Phoenix. Grundle with the support of m'lady Guenhowar becomes archery captain of Tir Ysgithr. Anna replaces Benedikt as archery captain of Twin Moons.

==Traditions==
===Toast===
The Toast was started decades ago. It's always on Saturday night at Estrella War, and only at Estrella War, following the camp feast perhaps an hour after sundown. This is the one likely moment at the entire event when every member camping will be in camp at the same time. Immediately following the toast is when candidates for membership will be inducted. Everyone in camp at the time is welcome to join in the toast. Traditionally the household [https://wiki.atenveldt.org/index.php?title=File:Haus_Tagesterne_Chalice.jpg chalice] is filled with Kriek and passed from person to person. Each person must remember what they toasted the year before and then make a new toast. The head of the household or whomever they so chose starts off the toast, drinks from the cup and passes to the next person until it's made way full circle around the campfire. In more recent years actually drinking from the cup has become more of an option for the individual. A simple gesture with the cup will suffice. When everyone has had their turn the remaining Kriek is poured into the fire in remembrance of those lost. Singer/musician, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owain_Phyfe Owain Phyfe] once wandered in to Haus Tagesterne with nearly perfect timing following the toast to sing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcS88F1jR4U “A Health to the Company”.] The lyrics best define what the toast is all about -

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Come lift up your voices, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well For style and for beauty there's none can excel There's a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee There is no man in this wide world as happy as me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

===Estrella===
For many of us Estrella War was one of our first events. Being primarily a household of people on the fringe Estrella was for some the only event they attended all year yet it was consistently a place where the entire house would rally. Nearly thirty years of Estrella's we spent together. Thirty years of memories, weather, happiness & sorrow, glory & debauchery. With Estrella War's demise we found ourselves in a quandary. That's when it came. Plague. Plague and darkness swept through the lands. People remained distant, aloof, in isolation but eventually we found the light again. Some of us were willing to travel and had begun to explore the options of Great Western, Potrero & Battlemoor Wars. And then came a new Atenveldt war. Rising from the ashes of the desolation. Indeed, War of the Phoenix came into its own. And the house rallied again. We sang, we feasted, we fought, we drank. A new era arrived. Each of us a little older, a little wiser. And new members joined the house.

===Staff of Standing SoS===
[[File:Staff_of_StandingA.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Heinrich wielding the SoS]]
[[File:Staff_of_StandingB.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Edric and the Staff]]
Use of this item grants the bearer/bearer's a +5 on not becoming horizontal. Wielded on many a debaucherous Estrella night by nearly every household member of the age for years. This item was destroyed in an epoch battle of good & evil (or perhaps crushed in the back of someone's dragon (auto)) over a decade ago. Benedikt seeks a suitable replacement. Perhaps one will rise from the ashes like the upcoming War of the Phoenix.

Yet take a close look at these two pictures. Were there, indeed, TWO staff's of standing? Perhaps one or both still exist hidden away from those who misuse their power.

Update - Benedikt indeed found a new staff made from a crooked sassafras sapling.

Illuminated Scrolls: Taking inspiration from illuminated manuscripts from across Europe between the 1200s to early 1600s, to paint what the SCA calls, "award scrolls." For every award given in the SCA, there is a hand-painted and drawn piece of art given to the recipient. I've really enjoyed focusing some of my art in painting these items. Some notable projects include:
<li>Knighthood Peerage Scroll for Sir Volchekh
<li>Pelican Peerage Scroll for Mistress Emeludt
<li>Pelican Peerage Scroll for Magnifico Benedikt
<li>Court Barony Scroll for The Honorable Lady Orianna

Sewing: I enjoy sewing as a hobby and have a particular interest in sewing Renaissance era costumes and garb, that can be worn and enjoyed for both SCA events and other medieval festivals. I endeavor to making these outfits largely from thrifted materials, saving fabric from going to landfill and supporting sustainability. Some notable projects include:
<li>Italian Gammura Gown for Bantheign Elena
<li>Italian Doublet and Pants for Theign Sir Volchekh
<li>Italian Gammura for Lady Ilva
<li>Italian Gammura for Lady Arnora

History:Principality of the Sun - Royal Lineage

2025-08-22T05:36:18Z

Benedict: Changed Rotwuld to Rotwulf as appears in the OP and my menory.

The Principality of the Sun covered the modern state of Arizona. It came into being in January 1977 with the coronetting of Prince Ivan and Princess Kathleen. When the Kingdom of Atenveldt no longer required regional principalities, the Principality of the Sun was dissolved and the territory became the current Kingdom of Atenveldt.

==What's in a name?==
Once upon a time in the middle ages a group of individuals each witnessed a celestial event of such a magnitude it was visible in daylight. (Think supernova of the 11th century, any number of comets etc.) Tagesterne literally translates to Daystar. This event had such a profound impact that they were drawn together and united in what can only be expressed as a near religious experience. We, the members of Haus Tagesterne, keep our gaze ever upwards both physically and figuratively in wonderous exploration thru our crafts, our arts, our merriment and prowess.

==Motto==
Nos vere potest non canta

==Mascot==
Wombat!

==Locations==
Tir Ysgithr, Twin Moons, Mons Tonitrus and a few scattered to other kingdoms.

==History==
Originally formed in approximately Anno Societatis 21 (1987) by Nathanial Constantine, Grundle, Gwin. Possibly a few more who fell out soon after. Numbers have fluctuated over the years but the Haus has always been composed of a relatively tight knit group of friends.

Through the early to mid 90's there always remained perhaps 3 to 8 active members with numbers up into the 20's at large events.

From A.S. 34 (2000) to A.S. 44 consistantly active members dropped to just a few however camp attendance at Estrella War was booming. These were the first glory days of Tagesterne. Period pavalions started appearing and the “gate” version 1 was created. Our arts were improving. We had squires. We won brewing competitions. There was music and singing. Really bad singing. There was much wandering. This was a time when many rituals were formed: Some lost, some continue to this day.

A.S. 45 to A.S. 50 finds us in a bit of a transition period. A bit of reality gets in the way of the dream. Adult life becomes a thing. Interests change. Loves are lost. People move out of kingdom. Some return.

A.S. 50 to A.S. 56. Like a change of seasons new life springs forth. New members are inducted. Some receive AoA's after years in the Society. We survive a plague. There is singing again and it's not all bad.

A.S. 56 to A.S. 58. Activity in the house picks up. Benedikt becomes archery captain of Twin Moons and goes SCA bonkers. New members are brought in through archery. Benedikt becomes head of the Haus and drags a few members to other events. Barmaids, a couple Highlands War's and then everyone rallys at War of the Phoenix. Grundle with the support of m'lady Guenhowar becomes archery captain of Tir Ysgithr. Anna replaces Benedikt as archery captain of Twin Moons.

===Toast===
The Toast was started decades ago. It's always on Saturday night at Estrella War, and only at Estrella War, following the camp feast perhaps an hour after sundown. This is the one likely moment at the entire event when every member camping will be in camp at the same time. Immediately following the toast is when candidates for membership will be inducted. Everyone in camp at the time is welcome to join in the toast. Traditionally the household [https://wiki.atenveldt.org/index.php?title=File:Haus_Tagesterne_Chalice.jpg chalice] is filled with Kriek and passed from person to person. Each person must remember what they toasted the year before and then make a new toast. The head of the household or whomever they so chose starts off the toast, drinks from the cup and passes to the next person until it's made way full circle around the campfire. In more recent years actually drinking from the cup has become more of an option for the individual. A simple gesture with the cup will suffice. When everyone has had their turn the remaining Kriek is poured into the fire in remembrance of those lost. Singer/musician, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owain_Phyfe Owain Phyfe] once wandered in to Haus Tagesterne with nearly perfect timing following the toast to sing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcS88F1jR4U “A Health to the Company”.] The lyrics best define what the toast is all about -

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Come lift up your voices, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well For style and for beauty there's none can excel There's a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee There is no man in this wide world as happy as me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

===Estrella===
For many of us Estrella War was one of our first events. Being primarily a household of people on the fringe Estrella was for some the only event they attended all year yet it was consistently a place where the entire house would rally. Nearly thirty years of Estrella's we spent together. Thirty years of memories, weather, happiness & sorrow, glory & debauchery. With Estrella War's demise we found ourselves in a quandary. That's when it came. Plague. Plague and darkness swept through the lands. People remained distant, aloof, in isolation but eventually we found the light again. Some of us were willing to travel and had begun to explore the options of Great Western, Potrero & Battlemoor Wars. And then came a new Atenveldt war. Rising from the ashes of the desolation. Indeed, War of the Phoenix came into its own. And the house rallied again. We sang, we feasted, we fought, we drank. A new era arrived. Each of us a little older, a little wiser. And new members joined the house.

===Staff of Standing SoS===
[[File:Staff_of_StandingA.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Heinrich wielding the SoS]]
[[File:Staff_of_StandingB.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Edric and the Staff]]
Use of this item grants the bearer/bearer's a +5 on not becoming horizontal. Wielded on many a debaucherous Estrella night by nearly every household member of the age for years. This item was destroyed in an epoch battle of good & evil (or perhaps crushed in the back of someone's dragon (auto)) over a decade ago. Benedikt seeks a suitable replacement. Perhaps one will rise from the ashes like the upcoming War of the Phoenix.

Yet take a close look at these two pictures. Were there, indeed, TWO staff's of standing? Perhaps one or both still exist hidden away from those who misuse their power.

Update - Benedikt indeed found a new staff made from a crooked sassafras sapling.
