[Artemisia] Solstice court awards and recognitions... belated

[Padruig]

Greetings unto all nobles and gentles of the Great Lands of Artemisia. May this New Year grant you health and prosperity.

I, Padruig, having finally returned from the frigid lands and arctic winds of the Kingdom of NorthShield, find I have been remiss in my duties, and beg the indulgence of those among you who have been inconvenienced and discomfited by my failure to report these matters earlier to the general polulace of our fair kingdom. I will make up this failure now.

There were many individuals who were recognized by the Crown during the solstice festivities recently celebrated in the ancient barony of Loch Salaan.  During the course of the day, Their Royal Majesties Timmur and Saige did recognize the following individuals with these awards, and recognitions...   (listed in no specific order)

Finally, to complete an amazing evening, His Excellency, Ryrid, Baron of Loch Salaan, was elevated to the Order of the Pelican.

Thus ends the report.
Any mispellings, or incorrect acknowledgements, are totally the fault of the inept herald, and for which he will be whipped later.

It is my great honor to congratulate these wonderful individuals, and to be able to say that I know them. I am better person for being able to learn from you, speak with you, and just generally bask in the glow of your presence. Congratulations, all.
