== Running of the Toys == | |||
At their [[Summer Coronation AS 60|coronation]], Simon and Aria reintroduced the [[Running of the Toys|Running of the Toys.]] | |||
== Elevations == | |||
Simon and Aria became notable for the higher than typical amount of elevation offers given during their reign. '''They elevated 22 populace members''' to [[peerage]]. The event with the most elevations was [[Al-Barran Midwinter AS LX (2025)]] which featured five ceremonies and six individuals elevated to peerage. To accommodate this number, court was held for the duration of the event with brief recesses between ceremonies to offer gentles the opportunity to come and go as they desired. | |||
[[Bryngerðr Þiðreksdóttir]] was offered admittance to the [[Order of the Laurel]] by [[Simon Montgumery|Simon]] at Jotunnstaor II. She originally planned to host her vigil at Windkeep Yule in 2025, but rescheduled to [[Caerthe Twelfth Night, AS LX (2026)|Caerthe Twelfth Night]] due to unforeseen circumstances. Her vigil was again delayed indefinitely as well as her elevation which was intended to happen at Viking Vinter Vunderland 2026. | |||
== Investitures == | |||
During Simon and Aria’s reign they oversaw two Investitures as Crown Prince and Crown Princess and two as Roi and Reine. While not related to their reign, this is notable for being an unusually high turnover. They witnessed the changing of Baronage in ¾ of Outlands baronies with [[Barony of Aarquelle|Aarquelle]] and [[Barony of Citadel of the Southern Pass|Citadel of the Southern Pass]] being the only two to maintain their baronage. | |||
=== Investiture of Safiyya and Kitta === | |||
[[Barony of Unser Hafen|Unser Hafen]] was the first Barony to see a changing of Baronage with Simon and Aria serving as Outlands nobility. [[Kitta Ragnvaldsdottír|Kitta]] and [[Safiyya bint Faris al Dani|Safiyya]] were selected as the next Baronage in February of AS LIX before Simon and Aria's reign as Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Kitta and Safiyya were invested in May of AS LX. Simon was present for the Investiture and spoke briefly during court. | |||
=== Investiture of Adrianna de Tarente === | |||
Adrianna de Tarente was Invested as sole Baroness of [[Barony of al-Barran|al-Barran]] only a week later at [[Grand Outlandish]]. | |||
=== Investiture of Wolfgang and Rowena === | |||
At Sohn Des Turniere um Gurkenschulcht in May of AS LX, with Simon in attendance as Crown Prince, [[Bryngerðr Þiðreksdóttir]] and [[Ronan na f-Fiacal mac Conaill]] officially stepped down from service as Baron and Baroness of [[Barony of Caer Galen|Caer Galen]]. They were required to step down due to moving out of the bounds of the barony. At the time, Wolfgang and Rowena were invested as Vicar and Vicaress until polling could be held. At polling in October of AS LX, Roi Simon and Reine Aria announced that they would be investing [[Wolfgang Sebastian Kolhammer|Wolfgang]] and [[Rowena Colebrook|Rowena]] as the next Baron and Baroness. They were later invested at [[Caer Galen Midwinter & Investiture AS LX (2025)|Caer Galen Midwinter & Investiture AS LX (2025).]] | |||
=== Investiture of Tahir and Rivka === | |||
At Saint Sebastian’s, with Aria in attendance, it was announced that [[Ansteys Darcy|Anstey]]<nowiki/>s and [[Dubhghall mac Gille Easbaig|Dubhghall]] would be stepping down as Baron and Baroness of [[Barony of Caerthe|Caerthe]]. They had served since 2021. At polling in October of AS LX, Roi Simon and Reine Aria announced that they would be investing [[Tahir al-Razi|Tahir]] and [[Rivka Vladimirovna Rivkina|Rivka]] as the next Baron and Baroness. They were invested at [[Caerthe Twelfth Night, AS LX (2026)|Caerthe Twelfth Night, AS LX (2026).]] | |||
== Philosophy == | |||
Simon and Aria have been very outspoken during their tenure about their approach to equity, accessibility, kindness, and recognition. They have introduced a number of new procedures which aim to support that vision. | |||
=== Awards and Recognition === | |||
From the start of their reign as Roi and Reine, Simon and Aria were very intentional about their desire to recognize and celebrate those who may have been looked over in the past or would traditionally be looked over. With this aim in mind, they have also vigorously supported and recognized the contributions from scribes throughout the Outlands. At their coronation, they requested that the populace bring their award scrolls to create a scribal gallery. It was also announced at their coronation that they would be hosting a [[Fall Crown Tournament, AS LX (2025)|scroll derby]]. Simon and Aria also became noteworthy for their amount of elevation offers. | |||
=== Equity and Accessibility === | |||
==== Court Summons ==== | |||
Simon and Aria began their reign with the publication of court summons prior to events. These summons contain the names of all individuals they wish to award or recognize during court. Each summons includes a title page, warning those who wish to be surprised not to continue further. The goal of the summons is to aid those in knowing when is necessary to show up for court if frequent event attendance is unattainable for them. | |||
[[File:Summons-titlepage.png|none|thumb|The court summons for [[Caerthe Twelfth Night, AS LX (2026)|Caerthe Twelfth Night]].]] | |||
==== Award Title Signs ==== | |||
As Blue Iris Herald to Aria and a representative of the Voices of the Populace, [[Gráinne Shocair|Gráinne]] created and debuted signs with the titles of each award in the Outlands. The signs are large in scale and written in high-contrast to aid those with hearing difficulties in understanding which awards are being given. | |||
[[File:Awardsigns.jpg|none|thumb|[[Sofia Rares]] holding an awards sign in court]] | |||
==== Court Reporting ==== | |||
[[Gráinne Shocair|Grainne]] as Blue Iris Herald has also aimed to increase accessibility by sending court reports to be published by the Social Media Office. By publishing court reports to the Outlands' various social media outlets, the populace is more capable of accessing the goings on of various events without needing to be in attendance. | |||
=== Music Appreciation === | |||
Owing to her deep love of music, Aria placed a major emphasis on music appreciation throughout her reign. Notably, she tasked [[Caírech Liath ingen Ailpin]] as [[Windhover Bard]] with arranging musical accompaniment for court. During her reign as Crown Princess, she taught classes on music at [[Battlemoor|Battlemoor.]] She requested a bardic competition to be held at her and Simon's coronation. At the Windhover Bard competition at [[Fall Crown Tournament, AS LX (2025)|Fall Crown Tournament, AS LX (2025),]] she gave each competitor a metal pin in the shape of a harp as a token of her appreciation. | |||

Running of the Toys
At their coronation, Simon and Aria reintroduced the Running of the Toys.
Elevations
Simon and Aria became notable for the higher than typical amount of elevation offers given during their reign. They elevated 22 populace members to peerage. The event with the most elevations was Al-Barran Midwinter AS LX (2025) which featured five ceremonies and six individuals elevated to peerage. To accommodate this number, court was held for the duration of the event with brief recesses between ceremonies to offer gentles the opportunity to come and go as they desired.
Bryngerðr Þiðreksdóttir was offered admittance to the Order of the Laurel by Simon at Jotunnstaor II. She originally planned to host her vigil at Windkeep Yule in 2025, but rescheduled to Caerthe Twelfth Night due to unforeseen circumstances. Her vigil was again delayed indefinitely as well as her elevation which was intended to happen at Viking Vinter Vunderland 2026.
Investitures
During Simon and Aria’s reign they oversaw two Investitures as Crown Prince and Crown Princess and two as Roi and Reine. While not related to their reign, this is notable for being an unusually high turnover. They witnessed the changing of Baronage in ¾ of Outlands baronies with Aarquelle and Citadel of the Southern Pass being the only two to maintain their baronage.
Investiture of Safiyya and Kitta
Unser Hafen was the first Barony to see a changing of Baronage with Simon and Aria serving as Outlands nobility. Kitta and Safiyya were selected as the next Baronage in February of AS LIX before Simon and Aria's reign as Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Kitta and Safiyya were invested in May of AS LX. Simon was present for the Investiture and spoke briefly during court.
Investiture of Adrianna de Tarente
Adrianna de Tarente was Invested as sole Baroness of al-Barran only a week later at Grand Outlandish.
Investiture of Wolfgang and Rowena
At Sohn Des Turniere um Gurkenschulcht in May of AS LX, with Simon in attendance as Crown Prince, Bryngerðr Þiðreksdóttir and Ronan na f-Fiacal mac Conaill officially stepped down from service as Baron and Baroness of Caer Galen. They were required to step down due to moving out of the bounds of the barony. At the time, Wolfgang and Rowena were invested as Vicar and Vicaress until polling could be held. At polling in October of AS LX, Roi Simon and Reine Aria announced that they would be investing Wolfgang and Rowena as the next Baron and Baroness. They were later invested at Caer Galen Midwinter & Investiture AS LX (2025).
Investiture of Tahir and Rivka
At Saint Sebastian’s, with Aria in attendance, it was announced that Ansteys and Dubhghall would be stepping down as Baron and Baroness of Caerthe. They had served since 2021. At polling in October of AS LX, Roi Simon and Reine Aria announced that they would be investing Tahir and Rivka as the next Baron and Baroness. They were invested at Caerthe Twelfth Night, AS LX (2026).
Philosophy
Simon and Aria have been very outspoken during their tenure about their approach to equity, accessibility, kindness, and recognition. They have introduced a number of new procedures which aim to support that vision.
Awards and Recognition
From the start of their reign as Roi and Reine, Simon and Aria were very intentional about their desire to recognize and celebrate those who may have been looked over in the past or would traditionally be looked over. With this aim in mind, they have also vigorously supported and recognized the contributions from scribes throughout the Outlands. At their coronation, they requested that the populace bring their award scrolls to create a scribal gallery. It was also announced at their coronation that they would be hosting a scroll derby. Simon and Aria also became noteworthy for their amount of elevation offers.
Equity and Accessibility
Court Summons
Simon and Aria began their reign with the publication of court summons prior to events. These summons contain the names of all individuals they wish to award or recognize during court. Each summons includes a title page, warning those who wish to be surprised not to continue further. The goal of the summons is to aid those in knowing when is necessary to show up for court if frequent event attendance is unattainable for them.

Award Title Signs
As Blue Iris Herald to Aria and a representative of the Voices of the Populace, Gráinne created and debuted signs with the titles of each award in the Outlands. The signs are large in scale and written in high-contrast to aid those with hearing difficulties in understanding which awards are being given.

Court Reporting
Grainne as Blue Iris Herald has also aimed to increase accessibility by sending court reports to be published by the Social Media Office. By publishing court reports to the Outlands' various social media outlets, the populace is more capable of accessing the goings on of various events without needing to be in attendance.
Music Appreciation
Owing to her deep love of music, Aria placed a major emphasis on music appreciation throughout her reign. Notably, she tasked Caírech Liath ingen Ailpin as Windhover Bard with arranging musical accompaniment for court. During her reign as Crown Princess, she taught classes on music at Battlemoor. She requested a bardic competition to be held at her and Simon's coronation. At the Windhover Bard competition at Fall Crown Tournament, AS LX (2025), she gave each competitor a metal pin in the shape of a harp as a token of her appreciation.
Awards Given
Throughout their reign, Simon and Aria were prolific in recognizing the populace.
