Officers

Nahrun Kabirun is run by volunteers serving in officer roles. Each role has defined responsibilities within the SCA structure.

Current officers

Seneschal — The Seneschal is the chief administrative officer, responsible for legal compliance, coordination, and the welfare of the branch. More

Historically, a seneschal was the senior steward of a medieval estate, responsible for overseeing domestic affairs, managing formal ceremonies, and administering justice.

Reflecting this historic trust, the Seneschal’s official heraldic badge is a gold key lying flat across a red field (Gules, a key fesswise Or). This imagery highlights the traditional role of the seneschal as the official keeper of “the keys to the castle.”

In the modern context of the Society for Creative Anachronism, the Seneschal acts as the chief executive and legal representative for the local chapter. In this corporate capacity, the Seneschal signs legal contracts and ensures branch operations comply with local municipal laws, SCA Corpora, and Kingdom regulations. Additionally, they run the monthly business meetings and collaborate closely with the Chatelaine to manage public relations and welcome newcomers.
