Good afternoon from the Kingdom Webminister of Ansteorra!
In collaboration with the Crown, our Kingdom Seneschal, Kingdom Server Admin, I am happy to announce that we configured a new way to reset passwords in Ansteorra. Guidance for Password Resets will be available in the Ansteorra Library.
Starting today, the following officers will have the option to reset passwords for users in the email domain:
What this means for Local Seneschals and Great Officers:
How you can always request a password reset:
The new option to request a password reset:
Our hope with this change is that it will help reduce the time it takes to get a new officer into their account and that it will reduce wait times for resets for lost passwords.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at kingdom@webminister.ansteorra.org if you have questions or concerns.
In service,

Ansteorra,
The Kingdom Financial committee wishes to announce the desire to liquidate both kingdom trailers in its possession to defray the cost of purchasing a new kingdom trailer. To maintain compliance with Ansteorra Financial Policy we must offer the sale of the trailers at a public, non-online event. To that end, we will be auctioning off both trailers to interested parties at the Winter Crown Tournament (December 7th 2024) , with monies to be collected from the winning bidders by January 3rd, 2025. Details of the trailers, including dimensions, weight ratings, and pictures of their current state will be provided to the kingdom facebook pages and emails lists prior to the auction.
Questions about the auction can be emailed to financial-committee@treasurer.ansteorra.org.
TIA,
Kingdom Financial Committee

Greetings to our Stellar populace!

We will begin with pools of round robin, single fight, and the number of pools will be determined by the number of entrants. The top 8 individuals with the best win/loss records will advance to a single elimination bracket. All rounds in the single elimination bracket will be a best 3 out of 5. Weapon style for all fights is bring your best, but no dagger. Weapon style legality should be verified with the Kingdom Earl Marshal.
In order to enter our Crown Tournament we will require the following to be met as of the Wednesday before the Crown Tournament, December 4, 2024 at 11pm.

Greetings Ansteorra from your Kingdom Webminister, Hersirkona kolfinna inn kyrra Otarsdottir,
I write to you this morning to let you know about seven new email discussion lists that are now being hosted by the Kingdom. Working with the direction and collaboration of Their Majesties, I have created the following email discussion lists:
The current, and previous crowns, have experienced difficulties in communicating in a timely fashion with their polling orders. There has been a need for an official means the Crown can use to communicate directly with members of polling orders. To meet that need, the Kingdom is now hosting official discussion lists for each of our polling orders.
The current and future Crowns will be use these mailing lists for official communications from the Crown to the orders. We encourage all active and engaged members of the orders to subscribe a email address to the list, as it will become the default place to see information communicated from the Crown to your polling order.
As always, anyone in the populace can contact the Crown for any business by sending an email to trm@crown.ansteorra.org.
Membership in these lists is extended to members of the corresponding polling order, but is optional. Members of the list will be able to send emails to the list or receive emails from the list. Only the Crown of Ansteorra, Heirs of Ansteorra, and members of the corresponding order will be approved to join their list. Membership requests will be processed by a volunteer from within the order who has agreed to review invite requests. The Ansteorra Kingdom Webminister will remain as a top-level admin of each list, but will delegate administration to the moderators from within the order(s) unless specifically asked to step in.
These lists (in addition to the existing email discussion lists Ansteorra hosts for the Laurels, Pelicans, Chivalry, and Arc d’Or), will be used as the official means of communication from the Crown to the members of polling orders and can be used by order members for discussion via email as needed.
These lists are hosted by the Kingdom of Ansteorra, so Society Conduct and Behavior rules apply to all usage of these lists, and messages are Archived.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the volunteers from within these orders who stepped up as moderators: Master Perrin de Beaujeu, Duke Jean Paul de Sens, HL Koia Karasova, HE Brenna MacDonald, and Dona Áshildr Inn Hárfagri. Approving join requests is definitely a behind-the-scenes role that is nonetheless important and very much appreciated by me. Thank you!
The Crown of Ansteorra would like to invite the populace to contribute their opinions on the current requirements for entering crown tournament as a combatant or consort. The survey can be found here:

Thank you for your consideration,

While sad to miss out on a fun event that has been in the planning stages since May, I applaud the Autocrats and their Excellencies for making tough decisions that keep the welfare of the populace in mind, and cancel the Vindheim Missile Academy II.
I look forward to our re-scheduled date for VMA-II.
For those of you who were looking to enter the first round of Royal Hunter at VMA, the 6 slots allocated to VMA for the first round will be moved to War of the Rams.
More details to follow.
Jean Paul and Gilyan
