Calon Scrolls

Information and Back Issues

by Lady Kateryn de Develyn


I like to think that the artisans of Calontir look to the Calon Scrolls as a way to share with all of Calontir the research, the neat stuff, and the how-to's of their craft. What better way to preserve the knowledge we have gained, than in print?

Is there a topic you are interested in, haven't seen in print yet, but want to know more about? Talk or write to the editor of the Calon Scrolls and let him, or her know, so they can search out an author or authors on that topic for a future issue.

You say you don't want to subscribe because you are not interested in most of the topics published? I have found that many of the topics I wasn't interested in several years ago, I am now interested in. So the back issues come in very handy. And even if I am not interested in the topic printed, I have the issue on hand to share with someone who is.

Anyone, in kingdom or out may subscribe to the magazine.

Come subscribe with us, and share in the joy of learning about new things with the artisans and other members of the Kingdom of Calontir.


Subscriptions are available from the editor for $10 for four issues.

Individual issues are available for $3 each except for The Coins of Calontir Volume VII, Number 1. This issue is a double-issue and is available for $4.
