It is soon time to change hands on the position of Scrivener Royal. I have
had the pleasure to share this time with Lady Murin Dunn in serving Their
Majesties, Christoph and Adelhait. During my tenure, I have made several
scrolls for the Kingdom and attempted to stretch my skills, both in
calligraphy and in illumination styles. I am very grateful for the chance I
have been given to serve my Kingdom and Crown in this manner.


I hope that there will be many who would like to take this same
opportunity, come time for Coronation of Cuan and Signy in October (Oct.
4-6, 2019), and enter the Scrivener Royal competition. For that reason, I
want to put out a call for all artisans of Atlantia who are interested in
this position to create and enter one or more (max. 5) scrolls that they
feel are best representations of their skills in both calligraphy and
illumination. At least minimal documentation (noting the tools, materials,
inspiration, etc.) is recommended. By Her Highness’ request, “bonus points”
will be awarded for entries that incorporate elements that reference the
theme of the event.



Duties of the incoming Scrivener Royal (as listed in the Atlantian Law, but
final call rests with Their Majesties) are:


   - The Scrivener Royal is expected to encourage all scribal arts in
   Atlantia.
   - They should also seek to serve the Crown in all ways possible
   regarding their art.
   - The Scrivener Royal should sponsor two competitions during their
   tenure within Atlantia.
   - They should work with Branch A&S Officers to encourage others to
   explore the scribal arts.
   - Last, they should teach others in venues as appropriate and reasonable.

“In addition to these responsibilities, the Scrivener Royal must also
oversee the selection of their successor at the following the following
Coronation. This is the only Kingdom Notable that is selected twice a
year.”

In Service to the great Kingdom of Atlantia,

Lady Helena de Soleure
