    BARONIAL SELECTION POLLING 

    [formidable id=”48″]

    KINGDOM POLLING HANDBOOK – OCT 2024

     

    An Tir Lion with Baronial Coronet

     

    Are you thinking of putting your name in to become a Landed Coronet for An Tir? Want to know what’s involved?

    Landed Nobility Companion

     

    Sincere thanks to Duke Ulfr who originally proposed the idea (perhaps before the Kingdom was quite ready for it) after seriously intimidating his mailman who felt the need to hand-deliver “Your Majesty’s mail” (a significant stack of mail!) with a flourished bow while the Duke (then King) was in His less-than-royal dressing gown.

    The Duke vowed in that moment to work at a reasonable pace for a long time to rescue future Crowns of An Tir from a similar fate.

    Huzzah for Duke Ulfr in his dressing gown!

  • Three Mountains Baronial Selection

    Greetings An Tir,

    His Majesty Octamasades and I would like to announce that the next Baronial Heads of Three Mountains will be Penelope Viollet and Etienne le Marchand.

    We thank all of the wonderful folks who put themselves forward for consideration, and the populace members who polled their support.

    Penelope and Etienne will be invested by Us at Twelfth Night. Michael and Eden have done an incredible job leading the Barony, and they look forward to rediscovering some of their *non-baronial running* passions in our beloved game.

    We are excited to see our community move forward with these new folks as our guide.

    With respect and consideration,

    Achaxe and Octamasades

    Sovereigns, An Tir

    We are in need of a team of 2 Co-Stewards, 1 from the West and 1 from An Tir, that can work together to navigate each Kingdom’s cultures, needs and expectations while planning the War jointly. Part of what makes ATWW great is the collaboration between our two Kingdoms!

    This resume does not need to be comprehensive, simply an overview of past events or activities you have helped run/organize in some way and any relevant modern-day experience you would like to include. Please note that war stewarding experience is not required as we have the previous year’s stewards available to help support and guide any new war stewards.

    We are also looking for Department Heads, deputies and other volunteers for ATWW 2026. We would love to see a mix of experienced and new leaders from the West and An Tir working together to make this War amazing! A quick overview of some roles can be found at https://antirwestwar.org/staff/.
