Greetings Barony! As you may know, Their Excellencies’ time as Baron and Baroness of Roaring Wastes is drawing to a close, and therefore, we must find suitable and worthy gentles to take Their place. Below is the timeline and procedures for the Baronial Transition.
Please feel free to contact me or Their Excellencies if you have any questions.

Baronial Transition Timeline:
• August 1 – The Kingdom Deputy for Group Transitions informs the Crown and Kingdom Seneschal of the impending poll and place a Pale announcement. (This has been completed and is scheduled for the September edition of The Pale.)
• August 15 – The Roaring Wastes’ seneschal begins accepting Letters of Intent. The letters must include:
• SCA name and any titles (how they would like to be listed on the poll)
• Legal name with contact information including: mailing address, phone number, email address
• Copy of valid membership card (valid through the transition time period) and a copy of photo identification
• Letters can include any information the candidate wishes to communicate to the Crown or the populace – such as SCA experience or vision for the barony.
• The submission of the letters should also include a single photo of each candidate with the current MK photo release form.
• All documents should be in a PDF or Word document format, please. (Photos can be submitted separately as GIF, JPG, PNG or TIFF.)
• Please submit Letters of Intent beginning August 15, but no later than September 13, to: roaringwastes.seneschal@midrealm.org.
• September 13 – Window for submission of Letters of Intent ends. Kingdom law requires that this window be no longer than 30 days. While we can shorten it, it’s generally best to let candidates have the longest allowed amount of time to submit their Letters.
• September 20 – Polls open for commentary from both residents and non-residents. Kingdom law requires they be open for 3 weeks.
• October 8 – Polls close. The Kingdom Deputy for Group Transitions will compile the information and forward it to the Crown and Kingdom Seneschal. Traditionally, the Crown is given a 2 month window in which to make this decision.
• December 1 – The Crown will have made their decision, and an investiture date will be chosen.

In service, Asalah al-Hina
