[Artemisia] Crown Tourney

[morgan wolf]

The Finals saw His Excellency Morgan D'Antioch facing Sir Ralph (pronounced "Rayf") Bigod, the peer formerly known as Ronan of Hereford, in best of 3.  After a long, first round, Sir Ralph had a 1-0 lead, which he complimented nicely with a quick, barely-past-the-guard shot in the second round.

Please join me in welcoming our new Crown Prince and Princess, Sir Ralph and Countess Kassandra.

The Bardic competition was fierce, with more competitors than I can recall in quite awhile, but at the end, Honored Lord Robert Raven MacLeod's voice and song of love earned him the Cloak, the one piece of regalia that is older than the kingdom itself.

During Court, Ruth Wade received an Award of Arms, Countess Esabel received a Golden Maple Leaf, Honored Lord Hrothgar, known to some as Fluffy, received a Golden Pillar, now-Honored Lady Teresa de Salamanca (apologies if the name is not quite right) became a member of the Order of the Keys Crossed, and I believe there were one or two other things I missed, apologies to those folk.  I can say that the Sheild of Chivalry was not presented to a new Bearer as of yet.

Oh yes, during the competition it was revealed that the Barony of Loch Salann has been at war with one Morgan Blaidd Du since A.S. XXXIV, and although he wished to sue for peace, His Majesty has declared that I as Vicar cannot accept the terms, therefore Loch Salann reaffirms the Declaration of War against one Morgan Blaidd Du of Stan Wyrm, and I charge all loyal subjects of Loch Salann to face him on the field of Honor, his choice of weapons as he was the challenged party, and to spare no effort in protecting our Barony and Their Majesties appointed Vicar of these lands from this foul miscreant.

 
Oops, I almost forgot- Bianca, Baroness Gryphon's Lair, was told that at Gryphon's Lair's Twelfth Night, she will be asked if she is ready to accept Elevation to the Order of the Laurel.

Morgan, Vicar of Loch Salann

I can't believe no one has posted the finals and new Heirs.  :(  
Or the new Bard, or the Court proceedings . . . .
