Blood of Fenris

This award recognizes people for their skill and enthusiasm in the armored fighting arts. At many events you will see armored fighters facing off with shields and rattan weapons in one-on-one tournaments, melees, and an army at Estrella War. The Blood of Fenris has the first level of precedence for Kingdom armored combat awards, above an Award of Arms. (more detail)

This award is given for excellence both in teaching and the use of traditional SCA style weaponry.  This award has a higher level of precedence in armored combat, above a Blood of Fenris. (more detail)

Commander of the Hawk's Lure

The Commander of the Hawk’s Lure is given to someone who has a Hawk’s Lure and continues to show outstanding prowess in the fighting arts, both in teaching and in the use of traditional SCA style weaponry. This is a very special award as 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 Hawk’s Lure or Guardian.

Guardians of Atenveldt

This award is given to armored combat and rapier fighters who show talent in melee battles and military tactics for SCA-style warfare.  Fighters must also teach these skills to others. The Guardian of Atenveldt is given at three levels - Legionnaire, Officer, Commander; the level is shown by the color of the ribbon with the award medallion. The three levels are:

  • Legionnaire – 1st level, blue ribbon
  • Officer – 2nd level, white ribbon
  • Commander – 3rd level, gold ribbon (highest level)

This award may be presented to the same individual more than once, but only in a higher degree than is currently held by the recipient.  It has a higher level of precedence in armored combat, above a Blood of Fenris. (more detail)
