[Artemisia] Artemisia's Oldest Event

[Dawn Tavares]

Sir Michael clarified:

Even so, quarter century of staying wedded to the same event is no small 
achievement. Most marriages don't last that long.

What, they objected merely because they found the game too different? I'm 
sure they would not have raised a fuss if baeball players had taken the 
field. How barbaric.

So next March will be the 30th anniversary of Defenders? I'm a big believer 
in celebrating milestones. Silver anniversaries, elevations, Mstrs. Tangl's 
autocratting her hundredth event....stamina deserves celebration.
