fine Kingdom of Atlantia.  It was my priviledge to be allowed to herald Their 
Majestie's courts on the  twentieth anniversary of the founding of the 
Kingdom of Atlantia.

Saturday Evening:

After an stormy day that was most notable for the amount of rain that fell 
(so much that the Sapphire Joust had to be delayed until the next day), there 
was still a sunny spirit as their Majesties held court that evening.

Their Majesties Havordh and Mary Grace and Their Highnesses Galmr and Aryanna 
welcomed Their Royal Cousins from Aethelmarc King Morguhn, Queen Meirwen,

The weather broke and bright sun replaced the previous day's gloom as Baron

The bright sun maintained it's strength to balance the darkness of the 
previous day's storm.  With the fair weather the Sapphire Joust Tournament
