Midrealm Additions to the SCA Siege Rules

Siege Marshallate

The Midrealm currently has two types of siege marshals.

1.      Warranted Siege Marshal.  This marshal can inspect siege engines and authorize new siege engineers.

2.   Regional Siege Marshals.  These seige marshals can warrant new siege marshals according to the procedures for warranting marshals. 

2.      Kingdom Deputy Earl Marshal (KDEM) for siege. This office is known as the Chief of Artillery.  This officer can warrant new siege marshals and appoint regional siege marshals. 

Reporting

Each Kingdom is required to report their activities involving siege to the Society Earl Marshall's Deputy for Siege on a quarterly basis.  To facilitate this process any event that hosts siege activities will send a report to the Middle Kingdom Chief of artillery within two weeks of the end of the event.  The siege marshal in charge at that event is responsible for sending in this report.   Any injuries resulting from siege activities that require professional medical attention will be reported to the Middle Kingdom Chief of Artillery and the Society Earl Marshall's Deputy for Siege immediately after the event where it occurred.

Event Reports will include the following information.

1) Siege marshal in charge (and contact info)

2) Numbers and types of siege engines

3) Siege Engineers that participated

4) Authorizations attempted and completed

5) Problems and Difficulties encountered

 

All siege marshals will also send a Domesday report to the Chief of Artillery before Dec. 1. to indicate whether they are still active.  The Domesday report should include:

1) Contact information including membership number

2) Events attended that year where they acted as siege marshal.

3) Siege marshalling plans for next year.

 

The Chief of Artillery will report to the Earl Marshal on a quarterly basis.

 

Authorizations

 

In addition to the SCA requirements for authorizing siege engineers, authorizations of Midrealm siege engineers shall include:

·         Having proof of current membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism.

·         At least two marshals must be present for an authorization. One must be a siege marshal.  The second can be another siege marshal or an armored combat marshal.

Draft

 

If you have comments about these siege rules please email myself, Roderick McKraken, at roderick@siegetheday.info   These rules need to be approved by the the Earl Marshal and the Midrealm Curia before they can posted on the Marshal's page at www.midrealm.org and become official.
