Awards:Awards - Kingdom of Atenveldt

Awards are the Crown’s way of publicly recognizing people for their good works and successes within the Kingdom and Society so they are an important part of the SCA. The SCA is a volunteer organization so awards serve as encouragement for the time and energy we put into making it work.

Awards are given at the pleasure of the Crown, but the Crown can’t be everywhere, or see the contributions of every member of the populace. The only way They know if a gentle is worthy is if They receive recommendations from people such as you.

So research their Order of Precedence, the most appropriate award and make an award recommendation to the Crown

Glory of Atenveldt

The Glory of Atenveldt is given to Peers who continue to show the high standards of behavior expected of a Peer of Atenveldt – such as courtesy and respect to others, continued passion about sharing their knowledge; and playing a leading role in our community.  In short, still the kind of person we want to admire. The award is given in five parts to reflect the five Atenveldt Peerage orders – Royal peers, Knights, Laurels, Pelicans, and Masters of Defense.  The Glory ranks directly under a Grant of Arms and before the other Kingdom awards for service, arts, combat, rapier etc.

Thegns and Banntheigns

This award is unique to the Kingdom of Atenveldt and recognizes the service of people who have served as a Territorial Baron or Baroness in Atenveldt after they have completed the duties and responsibilities of their tenure.  This award has high precedence in the Kingdom as it ranks above all other awards, but below Peerages. 

Peerage Orders

In Atenveldt, there are five peerage orders.  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, be passionate about sharing their knowledge, and play a significant role in our community.  In short, be the kind of person we want to admire.  Our Peers can be some of the most well-known and respected members of the SCA community. The Crown regularly meets with them to discuss potential candidates for the order and relevant business.
