[Artemisia] Crown Tournament results and awards.

[M Steele]

Rejoice O Artemisia, for the Royal linage has been secured.  This past weekend, in the welcoming shire of Windegate, TRM Sean and Nisa, held a tournament to determine suitable heirs for the Gryphon thrones.  The day was started with a brief court, in which Helmut von Meer and Helena of Siverkeep were called before their Majesties to be recognized for their achievements within the Kingdom with Awards of Arms.  In the same court, Lord Antoine de Bueil was summoned to be recognized for his growing skill with the rapier blade with a Gold Scarf.  Their majesties then met with all contestants in the day’s list before starting the tournaments
 
The weather was perfect for fighting (but a bit chilly for spectating).  All competitors fought well, with Duke Reinmar Wolfmeire,  HL Ely of the Sliver Oak, Sir Hauk Maclean, Count Morgan d'Antiche, Sir Daman MacMillan, Sir Terrel al Qasab, Sir Hrothgar Horthgarsson, and  Sir Yuri the Yackslapper making it out of the pools.  The Final was between Duke Reinmar Wolfmeire and Sir Daman MacMillan with Sir Daman winning the day with the inspiration of his Consort Darcie. 
 
After the coronation of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Damon and Princess Darcie, several circles were held and an amazing feast was served.  While their Majesties and their Highnesses feasted, they were entertained by several individuals competing to be the next Bard of Artemisia.  
 
In evening court, Their Majesties called forward Seng Si to thank her for her service as a Lady in Waiting the previous week and to make her a Lady in her own right with an Award of Arms.  Her Royal Majesty proclaimed Duke Reinmar to be the most Chivalrous fighter of the day and awarded him with the Shield of Chivalry.  After this, Lady Katrianna of the Crosswinds was announced as the newest Bard of Artemisia.  Finally, Their Royal Majesties called forward Penelope Highfield and Killian Calway to recognize them both with an Award of Arms. 
 
Vivat! for our new Prince and Princess, and all of our award recipients!
