[MR] Baronial Gate Guards at Pennsic

[Chris Cunning]

To the Great Baronies of Atlantia does Lord Christopher MacConing send 
greetings,

War stirs to the North, and soon the Armies of Atlantia shall march to 
fight with our Allies.
This coming weekend we shall begin to assemble our encampments near the 
field of Battle.

And as we we will be in foreign lands, the Atlantian Encampment must be 
well secured
against intrusion, and to protect the Crowns and Heirs of Atlantia as 
the plan for War.

For this reason, their Highnesses of Atlantia have called for Guards to 
protect the land
we will claim as our own! 

We ask that the Baronies of Atlantia consider adopting a night from 
Saturday August 12 to
Saturday August 19 to act as the Guards of the Encampment.  They should 
preferably send
forth Guards in the Arte of Rapier, though all are welcome.  Even now 
the Barony of Highland
Foorde, remembering the good times they shared guarding the Gates with 
the Barony of Black
Diamond, has taken Tuesday as their own! Citizens of the Baronies of 
Windmasters' Hill and
Ponte Alto has come forward individually to protect our gates.

Should your Excellencies decide to send forth Troops from your Barony to 
stand at the
Atlantian gates, please remember that two guards are needed per evening 
(perhaps one
guard each from two baronies?) to stand between the hours of 6-10pm.  
Guards need not
stay for the entire period, but are asked to take increments of at least 
one hour.  As a special
request from Their Highness,  members of the Rapier forces would be 
preferred but all are welcome
to volunteer. 

Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Lord Christopher MacConing

Provost of Atlantia
