Unto Jason and Gerhild, Koningr and Drottning Atlantia, greetings from 
Hersir Talorgen nepos Wrguist.  Greetings as well unto Rhiannon Triton 
and Lady Glynis, Clerk of Precedence.  Herein is my report of the 
business conducted at the court of Their Royal Majesties yesterday (17 
Jan, 2008) at the Midwinter Feast in the Shire of Border Vale Keep.

His Majesty did open court with a brief word, including encouragement to 
all to attend Gulf Wars in March and to register to camp with Atlantia 
at that engagement.  Immediately following, the newcomers were invited 
into the royal presence whereupon 6 gentles did receive tokens from the 
hand of Her Majesty in commemoration of their first event.
Sigurd Redwolf was brought before His Majesty and awarded with a Silver 
Osprey.
Lord Ole of Border Vale Keep received a Court Barony with Grant of Arms 
from the hand of Her Majesty
The children of Atlantia were called forward and did choose gifts from 
the great box of toys

brought into the Queen's Order of Courtesy

Lord Aaron Rebellinus received an Opal
Lady Tegan de Moreton was raised to the rank of Court Baroness with a 
Grant of Arms by the hand of His Majesty

Baron Ole of Border Vale Keep, Lady Anastasia of Border Vale Keep, Lord 
Sven Olafssen, Baroness Astrid Thorvardsdatter, and Tor Olafssen were 
called forward as a group and awarded with the King's Award of Excellence.
The autocrat, Duchess Isabel Grimault, was invited forward to declare 
the winners of the day's competitions.  Before she was permitted to 
depart, she was also awarded with the Herring.

Their Majesties' court was then closed, and all adjourned to a Feast of 
the Giants cooked by Duke Valharic, Master Robear, and Master John.

In Service to Crown and Kingdom I remain,

Hersir Talorgen nepos Wrguist
