On April 12, 2025 at the Quarterly Meeting, the SCA Inc. Board of Directors voted to approve name, badge and regalia for the new peerage order celebrating those who have achieved a standard of excellence in prowess for ranged martial pursuits.
The Board approved ‘the Order of the Mark’ as the name for the new ranged peerage with badge is (Tinctureless) A set of nesting scale weights within and conjoined to a mascle fleury at the upper point. The regalia of the Order will be two white vambraces or bracers.
The College of Arms will now finalise its registration processes with potential options having been previously pended in November 2024.
Writs for the new peerage may be issued for 3 principals in each kingdom from 1 May 2025 with the Board having provided a variance to Corpora regarding the consultation as there is not yet an order to consult with.
From 7 June 2025, the Crowns of the Known World may commence elevations to the Order of the Mark.
The three principal members of the new order will be the Order with whom the Crown must consult, per Corpora. In other words, once those three Principals are elevated, no other writs will be issued without proper consultation with the Order.
Those three Principals are the deliberative body that will, in consultation with the Crown and in compliance with Corpora, be the foundation by which all future inductees into the Order will be considered. They are the bedrock on which the Order will be built and should not be considered lightly.
Let the celebrations commence!
