On behalf of Their Majesties, King Krake and Queen Beatrix, I’m pleased to announce the competitors in the Autumn Crown Tourney in Depedene under Wychwood, to determine the next heirs to our beloved Kingdom:
In all bouts the fighter may use any weapon in which she or he is authorized.
All fighters will fight in a round-robin. Each match will be fought best two out of three bouts. Double kills will be counted as a loss for both fighters and will not be refought. If after three bouts there is no clear winner both fighters will be considered to have lost that match.
In the case of an uneven number of fighters there may be a non-destructive byfighter.
If a fighter has to drop out of the tournament before the round-robin is concluded, all the results they have so far will be disregarded, both for the fighter dropping out and all of their opponents.
After the round-robin is concluded, if there are four fighters with more points than the others, they will qualify for the semifinals. In case of ties, the places in the semifinal will be determined either by a single bout between those with the least points or a mini round-robin. Double kills will be refought. Any fighter with higher scores will earn their place in the semifinals without fighting for it.
The four fighters who qualified for the semifinals will be randomly paired. Semifinals will be fought best out of three. Double kills will not be refought. If any fighter has more points than the other after three bouts they are qualified for the finals. If not, fighting will continue one bout at a time until that is the case.
Finals will be fought best out of five. Double kills will not be refought. If any fighter has more points than the other after five bouts they shall be declared the winner. If not, fighting will continue one bout at a time until that is the case.

TL/DR:
The webteam and Posthorn present to you the newest revision of the Order of Precedence (OP) website, which will go live in the next few days.
In this revision, we have implemented the answers provided in the consent form that was launched last summer.
As an example of how your information could look, check out this page: https://op.drachenwald.sca.org/persona/Memorantia%20van%20de%20Linde (shared with permission)
We encourage you to look up yourself and send in additional information using the new button “Submit your modern name, pronouns, and preferred title”.
A reminder also that we are accepting images of heraldic devices. Send an email to posthorn@drachenwald.sca.org with your device attached:
Posthorn sometimes needs help resizing or even creating heraldic images from scratch. If you have illustration skills and are willing to help out, please reach out to me. Volume has probably been once every other month up until now, so unless the populace decides to flood the office with new requests, this should not be a very time-consuming task.
Yours In Service,
Countess Jacquelyna de Bellmont, Drachenwald Posthorn Herald, posthorn@drachenwald.sca.org

The Chronicler has published the May Dragon’s Tale for your enjoyment. This links directly to the current newsletter (.pdf), and does not need a password.
If this doesn’t work you can follow this link to the newsletters page.
]]>Due to mundane priorities I’ve not had as much time in recent months as I would have liked to spend on Posthorn tasks.
Therefore, I have prioritized adding awards from court reports to the OP, i.e. Order of Precedence. No new reports are in my inbox, but I am waiting on replies regarding a few older reports. I may just add them anyway and rely on corrections to be sent in afterwards if needed.
All corrections and images of devices that have been sent to Posthorn since before 2024 are not lost. I have just not gotten round to them yet.
What I have been doing whenever I had “extra” time is trying to find ways for Posthorn to share the workload in the future, hopefully allowing people to help even if they are not database administrators. 🙂
Finally, I’ve been working with Yda to implement further improvements to the interface of the OP. More info to come regarding that later!
Yours In Service, Countess Jacquelyna de Bellmont Drachenwald Posthorn Herald
