Kingdom of Atenveldt titles and honors

Award of Arms

Often the first award a player receives. An Award of Arms is given for contributing or active members of the Kingdom who look like they will continue with the SCA.  This award grants the recipient the right to use the title ‘Lord’ or ‘Lady’ and to display ‘arms’ (their own heraldic design) in the SCA. This title is recognized throughout the SCA.

Service Awards

Beacon of the Desert

The Beacon of the Desert recognizes volunteering within the Kingdom of Atenveldt. Service may take many forms including holding an officer position, field support, event stewarding, serving on a court, or any number of other tasks to make the game happen for everyone.  This award has the first level of precedence for Kingdom service awards, above an Award of Arms.

Light of Atenveldt

This award is given for outstanding service to the Kingdom. Outstanding service can be defined many ways and may include a body of work, extent of the service, and/or the amount of time spent giving service. This award has a higher level of precedence for service, above a Beacon of the Desert.

Commander of the Light of Atenveldt

The Commander of the Light is given to someone who continues give incredible service to the Kingdom and already has a Light of Atenveldt.  This is a very special award because only one may be given out per reign and the Crown puts a lot of thought into their choice.  The award includes a Grant of Arms and has a higher precedence than the Light of Atenveldt.

Star of the Desert

This award is given to recognize the large amount of volunteer time needed to run our annual Estrella War. The award can be given to anyone who has worked for the event, in Atenveldt or other kingdoms. This award has three levels for adults, and two for youth; it can be given to the same individual more than once, but only at a higher level than they currently hold.  The Star’s order of precedence is above an Award of Arms.

King's Sigil

This is a personal award from the King to thank people for their service to him during his reign.  The King gives out a token that he designs for his version of this award.  Some artisan Kings also make their own tokens.  This award ranks after an Award of Arms in order of precedence and people can receive multiple awards.

Flower of the Desert

The Flower of the Desert recognizes people who show practical skill in the Arts and Sciences of the Middle Ages.  We learn and practice all the crafts, skills, and technologies used in the time period and cultures covered by the SCA. You see the results in use at our events; such as the costumes (garb) we wear, the armor used in combat, the illuminated scrolls presented in Court, and the recipes used for a feast.  This award has the first level of precedence for Kingdom arts awards, above an Award of Arms.
