Baronial Polling 2024

Baroness Kloe of Thira and Baron Arion the Wanderer have served the Barony well and faithfully for years, and they are preparing to step down. Who will step up to fill their shoes? Three sets of candidates have stepped up to be considered as our next Coronets.

What is polling?

Although new Coronets are ultimately selected by the King & Queen of An Tir, they take the wishes of the populace of Dragon’s Laire into consideration. This process — of meeting the candidates, asking them about their vision, and then telling the Crown which you would prefer — is called polling. All the polling results will be summarized at the Kingdom level and used to guide the selection of our new Coronets.

First, the populace will have time to learn about the candidates through their SCA resumes and letters of intent. There will also be opportunities to meet the candidates in person.

Then, the actual polling will be run by a Kingdom deputy. Polling for Dragon’s Laire will happen between September 7th – 14th. It will be electronic… further information on that process will come from the Kingdom. The webteam will share those details once we have them.

Finally, the ceremonies for Step-Down/Step-Up will happen at Harvest Feast (link to event info), on October 19th, with Their Majesties in attendance (= this will be a Royal Court).
