Founded in February, A.S. XVIII, Calontir is the tenth oldest Kingdom in the Known World. It was formerly a Principality of Midrealm. Geographically it consists of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Northwestern Arkansas.
Calontir has some notoriety for being the only Kingdom in the SCA that does not allow rapier combat. It is currently (as of A.S. 45) experimenting with a form called 'Calontir Steel', which is closely modeled after Cut and Thrust. Website
Calontir holds the Lilies War in or around June every year.
History
Calontir began as a Principality within the Middle Kingdom in 1981-2 (A.S. XVI) and on May 29, 1984 (A.S. XVIII) became the tenth Kingdom of the SCA. The first King and Queen of Calontir were known as Chepe l'Orageux and Arwyn Antaradi.
