[BATCOK at aol.com]

On Saturday the rains held back though the sky remained clouded as the 
Kingdom of Atlantia gathered to behold the wonders of the Sapphire Joust in Caer 
Mear.

During the day Their Majesties placed Elisabeth MacAlester of Kintyre on 
vigil to contemplate joining the Order of the Laurel at Spring University June 7th.

That evening Their Majesties were minded to hold court and give the following 
recognitions:

To begin the Court, His Highness Ragnarr, Prince of Atlantia, did place the 
coronet of the Princess of Atlantia on the brow of his inspiration to win the 
day at Crown Tournament and crown Her Highness Kyneburh as Princess of Atlantia.

1) Avraham haRofeh* - Award of Arms
Confirmation of the action of Her Majesty Isabel of York at the Closing Court 
of her reign as Queen of the East.

The Brewers Guild of Atlantia is reinstated by action of Their Majesties.

Their Majesties received gifts and the good will of the Kingdom of Trimaris 
from Baroness Ysar, ambassador from the court of Their Majesties Odo and Elena 
who received the crowns of Trimaris that day.

2a) James ap Llywelyn* - Grant of Arms
2b) Gwenllian ferch Rhys ap Dafydd* - Grant of Arms

3) Erin Elizabeth* - Award of Arms

4a) Lady Tirzah macCrudden - Award of the Silver Nautilus
4b) Lady Orlaith Carey (of Storvick) - Award of the Silver Nautilus

5a) Russell of Clan Ebonwoulfe* - Award of Arms
5b) Gail of Clan Ebonwoulfe - Award of Arms

6a) Lord Tancred Bras-de-Fer - Award of the Fountain
6b) Lady Katerina von Wolfenberg - Award of the Fountain
6c) Lady Etain ingen Dhalaig - Award of the Fountain
6d) Countess Brigit of Mercia - Award of the Fountain
6e) Mistress Genna inghean Broanain ui Amoinn - Award of the Fountain

7) Lady Roxanne Greenstreet - Order of the Laurel

Then much merriment did ensue at the Great Atlantian Luau.

However, Sunday morning did bring a return of the rains.  And while some 
stalwart people did attempt to salvage combat that day when the clouds broke in 
the afternoon, most people took an early opportunity to return home.  Due to the 
exodus and the prediction of more storms that evening, the scheduled court 
for Sunday was canceled by His Majesty.

So did things occur by my witness.
