Aethelmearc Under Siege

(cue dramatic news music) 
 
It was a cool September evening when the troops of
Atlantia crossed over the borders into the peaceful
Shire of Sylvan Glen...all four of them.  Since being
embedded within the Aethelmearc Coalition forces this
reporter has never before seen such and understated
invasion.  As troops from St. Swithin's Bog, Misty
Highlands, His Majesty Rurik's Personal Guard, Akiru
Thunder, Clan Wulfgard and others joined with the
homeguard of Sylvan Glen to ward off the threat of
full scale invasion that had loomed over the border
lands for months it became apparent that victory was
well in hand.  His Majesty graciously reallocated
troops to provide an evenly matched battle and in the
spirit of friendly rivalry war was waged.  Sylvan Glen
swept the battlefield in the field and bridge battles
but found the castle gate battle just beyond victory's
reach.  Many a friendly challenge and melee followed
upon the heavy battlefield.  
 
On other battlefronts, Aethelmearc's finest fencers
met in the infamous Count of Monte Carlo Tourney where
skill with a ready blade and wit are matched by shrewd
wagering.  The youth of Aethelmearc and Atlantia took
to the feild of battle as well with a 3 division Youth
Combat Tourney.  Bowmen from both Kingdoms tested
their marksmanship at the range throughout the day as
did throwers of blades.  
 
Peacefull arts were not forgotten upon this day of
combat.  Artisans and bards displayed their skills and
abilities for the populace.  In the court of Their
Majesties Rurik and Angelik awards for service and
skill were bestowed upon long deserving folk of the
Shire of Sylvan Glen.  Thereafter a great feast of
victory and celebration was held featuring the fruits
of the shire and the spoils of war as the Sylver Stag
and Sylver Apple sat in state upon the High Table.  To
all who journeyed to this lonely bastion upon the
border called Sylvan Glen, Aethelmearc showed all who
gazed upon her covetously why we are proud to call her
home and ourselves her own.  Until the winds of war
blow over these mountain glens Sylvan Glen stands ever
vigilant.  This is Laird Wulfric Grimbeald reporting. 
Good Night Aethelmearc.
