__TOC__

== History ==

The Atlantian Forestry Guild began when the founding members, inspired by the [https://wiki.eastkingdom.org/index.php?title=East_Kingdom_Foresters_Guild East Kingdom Foresters Guild], decided at War of the Wings XI that Atlantia also needed a group dedicated to period wilderness skills. The guild's charter was signed at the 42nd Tournament of Ymir, creating the Kingdom of Atlantia Royal Forestry Guild.

The High Court of the Forests of Atlantia:
* [[Isabel de Tarragona]] - High Warden of the Forests of Atlantia
* Will of Liddesdale - Warden of the North
* Warden of the South
* High Sheriff
* [[Elias de Birton]] - interim High Chronicler
* Eirik Gralókkr- High Preceptor
* High Steward
Former High Court Officers:
* Warden of the Forests of Atlantia - Corotica Senebelenae (Clovis), Coenred æt Rauenesdale, [[Finnebreth|Finnebreth Wodeward]], Morgot Morgan
* Warden of the North - Corotica Senebelenae (Clovis), Kataren le Wolfhonte, Morgot Morgan
* Warden of the South - Coenred æt Rauenesdale, Eirik Gralókkr
* High Chronicler - Màire O’Halowrane, [[Isobel of Carnewyth]] 
* High Sheriff - Coenred æt Rauenesdale, Johann Olaffson, Finley Blackthorn
* High Preceptor - [[Elias de Birton]]
* High Steward - Asta Knarrarbringa

== Charter ==

[[File:KARFG charter.png|200px|thumb|right|Calligraphy and illumination by Mistress Bríg ingen Érennaigh.]]

The guild's charter was presented and signed at the 42nd Tournament of Ymir.

''Be it known throughout the Kingdom of Atlantia that the Brothers and Sisters of the Green have organized into a Guild of Forestry with the intent to protect the Royal Forests, the venison and vert, and the green spaces of the Kingdom; thus do we, William Thomas and Alyna, King and Queen of Atlantia, hereby grant them Royal Charter with all privileges and responsibilities.''

''These Royal Foresters are oath sworn to uphold Kingdom and Forest Law, to aid and assist their fellows, to protect the Greenwood, and to provide counsel at need to their Majesties and the nobility as to matters of the forest. These Foresters shall seek mastery in their craft. They shall practice and promote the woodland arts and sciences; educate and guide others in these skills; and be prepared at all times to aid those in need of safety, hospitality, or shelter in the woodland places of the Realm.''

''This is done by our hand this 25th day of February, A.S. LI''

== Guild Rankings ==

Members of the Forestry Guild are awarded ranks based on demonstrations of their outdoors skills and commitment to forestry-related Arts and Sciences, but all guild members are encouraged to participate in activities and share their skills, regardless of rank.
[[File:KARFG badges.png|200px|thumb|right|Badges for Forester (top) and Underforester (bottom) ranks]]
* '''Independent Members''' - These individuals have chosen to not swear the Foresters Oath. They are considered and welcomed as members, but are not involved in the guild’s business and are not interested in being promoted through the ranks.
* '''Affiliates''' - These individuals live outside the Kingdom of Atlantia, so they cannot be swear our oath or be promoted under our existing Charter. They are warmly welcomed when they can attend our events and their knowledge and expertise is greatly valued and respected.
* '''Junior Foresters''' - Junior Foresters are members who are between the ages of 12-17.
* '''Novices''' - These members have sworn the Foresters Oath but have not yet advanced in rank. This rank is typically more indicative of a member having recently sworn the Foresters Oath than a level of skill.
* '''Underforester''' - Underforesters have made an attempt at outdoors-appropriate garb and demonstrated a commitment to developing relevant skills and service to the guild.
* '''Forester''' - Foresters have demonstrated some camping-relevant period skills and possess garb appropriate to their persona in woodland colors. They are expected to continue to improve their own wilderness skills and to teach others.
* '''Master Forester''' - Master Foresters have proven their service to the guild, demonstrated a high level of proficiency in a wide array of outdoor skills, and shown a commitment to teaching and to forestry-related Arts and Sciences. They are expected to be examples for others to follow.
In addition to the guild ranks, there are three houses that only accept members from within the guild. Those interested in joining a house may apply after achieving the rank of Forester or higher, and will undergo a house-specific trial.

* '''The Rangers''' are focused on the Arts and Sciences of the outdoors and living in it.
* '''The Regarders''' are focused on the practice of SCA martial arts while dressed as and portraying a forester.
* '''The Woodwards''' are focused on traditional Arts and Sciences and service.

I enjoy Arts and Sciences activity, particularly fiber arts. I do weaving embroidery, nalbinding, spinning, sewing and sprang, with varying degrees of skill. Currently MOAS of the Shire of Spiaggia Levantina, I encourage member of this small group to pursue creative activities.

Re Arts and Sciences: There seems to be an assumption in the Known World that a gentle who thrives on A&S activity is seeking to become a Laurel. While this is often true, sometimes it is not. While I applaud the spirit of the A&S peers, I believe it requires a certain kind of personality to embrace the involvement and visibility membership in their ranks requires.

I enjoy Arts and Sciences activity, particularly fiber arts. I do weaving embroidery, nalbinding, spinning, sewing and sprang, with varying degrees of skill. Currently MOAS of the Shire of Spiaggia Levantina, I encourage member of this small group to pursue creative activities.

Re Arts and Sciences: There seems to be an assumption in the Known World that a gentle who thrives on A&S activity is seeking to become a Laurel. While this is often true, sometimes it is not. While I applaud the spirit of the A&S peers, I believe it requires a certain kind of personality to embrace the involvement and visibility membership in their ranks requires.
