ARCH - achery marshalling

[Eadric Anstapa]

Understand there is a distinct difference in being 
an "authorized" marshal and a "warranted" marshal.

Take a look at any Combat/Fighter authorization card and 
you will see that there are many different types of 
individual authorizations.  For instance, Armored Combat 
and Rapier Combat are separate authorizations.  On that 
same card you will see distinct authorizations for 
different types of Armored and Rapier Marshalling as well 
as for categories such as Non-Contact participation, 
Siege Weapons, and ofcourse things like Armored Comabat 
Archery, Rapier Combat Archery and Combat Archery 
Marshalling and one day to be added Target Archery 
Marshalling.

If you have demonstrated your proficiency to an 
appropriate and designated "Authorizing Marshal" (itself 
a separate authorization) in one of these individual 
areas then he/she will fill out the paperwork and sign 
your card indicating that you are now authorized in one 
of these distinct areas.

Once the appropriate box is checked on your card you can 
claim to be an "authorized" marshal.  Remember you run 
before you walk.  Typically before you become an 
authorized combat marshal you first get authorized as a 
participant and actually get a little field experience 
before becoming a marshal.

A "warranted" marshal is simply someone who has been 
designated as either a local or regional deputy of the 
Kingdom marshal.  Your local "Knight's Marshal" is 
the "warranted" deputy of the Regional and Kingdom Earl 
Marshal.  There may be a number of other armored fighters 
in your group who have various levels of marshal 
authorization but the local "warranted"  knight's marshal 
has the overall responsibility for armored combat in your 
group and is the local voice of the kingdom earl 
marshal.  Likewise the locally warranted marshal has the 
responsibility to be the local eyes and ears of the Earl 
Marshal and for sending in monthly and quarterly reports 
to the regional and perhaps kingdom marshal.


Let me give you a real example here in Ansteorra of the 
Archery Marshallate.

1.  Lord Fearghus is the Kingdom Archery Marshal and 
reports to the Society Archery Marshal and to the Kingdom 
Earl Marshal.

2.  Baron Ulsted the the Coastal Region Archery Marshal.  
He reports to Lord Fearghus and is the eyes, ears, and 
voice of Lord Fearghus in this region.

3.  Baron Talmon Wilbanks is the locally warranted 
archery marshal for the Canton of Gates Edge and reports 
to Baron Ulsted.  He organizes our local practices, 
fosters archery in the area, acts as the local eyes, 
ears, and voice of Ulsted and likewise Fearghus and he is 
responsible for REGULAR reporting of the local archery 
activities to Ulsted who will in-turn pass them along to 
Fearghus.

4.  Lord Iaen Mor and myself are both "authorized" 
archery marshals here in the Canton of Gates Edge.  We 
are considered "marshals at large" because we are not 
warranted as a local deputy and do not have regular 
reporting responsibility.  However, because we are 
authorized marshals we can help out Baron Talmon by 
inspecting equipment, setting up and running the range, 
instructing new archers, etc.  Still Baron Talmon is in-
charge at our local events and is responsible for the 
local reporting.

When asked Iaen and I will travel to nearby groups to act 
as a "Marshal At Large" and run an archery event for 
them.  Recently when the local marshal was not available 
we travelled to Bordermarch to run the archery 
competition at Bordermarch Baronial.  In this case 
because I was acting in my capacity as a marshal at large 
and was the "marshal in charge" of the event I filed and 
event report with Baron Ulsted and Lord Fearghus.  This 
will be the last report I file until I once again am 
called upon to act as a marshal in charge.

OK,  di I cinfuse things even more?

Regards,

Lord Eadric
