[Atlantia-Announce] Royal Court Report - Hidden Mountain Baronial Birthday

[Craig via Announce]

Unto Your Majesties Logan and Esa, rightful King and Queen of Atlantia, 
and unto Your Royal Highnesses Prince Christoph and Princess Adelhait, 
and the noble populace of Atlantia does Cian Triton send greetings!
On the occasion of Hidden Mountain Baronial Birthday, held on May 30, 
2015, Her Majesty Queen Esa did hold a Royal Court before Her loyal 
subjects.

Her Majesty welcomed everyone, and inquired if they had a good time, to 
which resounding cheers indicated the affirmative.  The Queen apologized 
that the King was unable to be there to celebrate the birthday of one of 
His beloved Baronies, but He did send his best wishes to His populace.

Queen Esa then invited Their Excellencies of Hiddn Mountain to open a 
Baronial Court, the business of which shall be reported by the Baronial 
herald.

Following the conclusion of the Baronial Court, Her Majesty did bid Her 
herald to call forth Iris Alleynedatter and Aethelwulf Alleneson to come 
before Her.  As the youngsters came forward, Her Majesty spoke of how 
they had both been given an award during the previous reign of Michael 
and Seonaid, but were not in attendance.  Her Majesty wished to 
recognize them in Her court, and present them with the medallions for 
the Award of the Sea Urchin, which had been awarded at KASF 2015.

Zachery Nortonson was called into court, but could not be located.  His 
father, Baron Norton, came forward to apologize on behalf of his son, 
who was unable to attend due to...issues.  Her Majesty presented Baron 
Norton with the scroll and medallion for his son, and charged him to 
present them when he felt his son no longer had...issues.

Michael Robertson was called before the Queen, where he was presented 
with a Sea Urchin for his work within the Barony.

Lady Elisabet Walkere was summoned before Her Majesty, where she was 
presented with a Coral Branch for her work in the Arts and Sciences.
Lady Jorunn nic Lochlainn was called forth into Court, and was presented 
with the Silver nautilus for her A&S teaching.

Lady Katherine of the Doves was commanded to present herself before the 
Queen, who spoke glowingly of her work with the Page's Academy, and Her 
Majesty was impressed and pleased by the large number of Pages who were 
inducted on this day.  It was the Queen's pleasure to present Lady 
Katherine with the Award of the Fountain.

Her Majesty had Lady Morgaine Ferguson brought before her, and was 
inclined to present her with a Silver nautilus for her work in the Arts 
and Sciences.

Annora Arnsdottir was called into court, where Her Majesty presented her 
with the Award of the Sea Urchin.  Her Majesty was quite pleased at the 
"Children's Court" that this was turning out to be, for many of the 
recipients of awards this day were the youth of the Kingdom, and that 
warmed Her Majesties' heart completely.

Lady Um Samine Bint Asad Al Isfanayia was called into court, although 
she was not present.  Her Majesty announced that she was being awarded a 
Coral Branch for her efforts in the Arts and Sciences.  Their 
Excellencies of Hidden Mountain promised to deliver the scroll and 
medallion to her at a later date.

Alistair Ravenwood was summoned before Her Majesty, where he was not 
only presented with the Award of Arielle, but was also given his Award 
of Arms.  Before Lord Alistair could return to his seat, Her Majesty 
also announced that his brother, Cullen, was being awarded the 
Hippocampus.  As Cullen was unable to attend, Her Majesty charged Her 
newest noble to safely deliver the scroll to his brother.

Deorsa Brennus was finally tracked down, as he had been called into 
court earlier, but was not nearby.  Apparently, he had to be dragged out 
of the kitchen to present himself before the Queen.  Her Majesty noted 
that She had heard many great things about him, and the fact that he was 
busy working in the kitchen instead of sitting around in court 
solidified Her intention to raise him to the rank of the nobility by 
awarding him arms.

Finally, Her Majesty had Lord Draco of Brockore Abbey hauled up before 
Her to face Her justice.   Her Majesty spoke of hearing the good works 
that Lord Draco does, and how hard of a worker he is.  Her Majesty 
wished to do something to reward him, and thus instructed Her herald to 
call forth the Order of the Golden Dolphin.  Loud cheers were heard by 
the assembled populace, who obviously agreed whole-heartedly with Her 
Majesty's decision.  A very proud and beaming Dame Morwenna informed the 
very stunned Lord Draco that, while she unfortunately did not have it 
with her this day, she was planning to present him with her own 
medallion, and that she was very proud of her hard working protege.  As 
Lord Draco rose to greet his Order, loud cheers and applause were heard 
from all in attendance.

There being no further business, Her Majesty had Her court closed for 
the day.

This information is accurate to the best of my knowledge.
