Unto Your Majesties Brian and Brianna, Your Highnesses Michael and 
Seonaid, Your Excellencies Geldemar and Etain, the Triton Principal 
Herald, the Atlantian College of Heralds, the populace of Atlantia and 
all who read this missive:

Greetings from Cian mac Cellacháin hUí Dublaich, Pursuivant herald, and 
herald of record for the Baronial Court from the Yule Toy Tourney.  Lord 
Donngal Mac Ronain was my second for this court.

At the event of Yule Toy Tourney V, held in the Canton of St. Georges in 
Pickens, SC, in the Barony of Nottinghill Coill on December 11, 2010, 
also known as Anno Societatus 45, His Majesty King Brian did process 
into court, followed by Their Excellencies, Geldemar and Etain, Baron 
and Baroness of Nottinghill Coill.  Royal Court was opened, and a few 
pieces of business were conducted, which shall be reported on by His 
Excellency Baron Lucien de la Rochelle, who was the Royal Herald of record.

Their Excellencies did ask King Brian for permission to open a Baronial 
Court, which His Majesty did readily give.  Following the opening of 
Baronial Court, Their Excellencies did speak to the populace, inquiring 
if a good time was had, and expressing Their Pleasure at the amount of 
toys that were collected through the generosity of those in attendance.

The children were called forth to be presented with special gifts of 
wooden dolls and wooden horses, donated by the fine artisans of Psaltry 
Dreams.  The children, including 2 infants, were thrilled at their gifts.

Lord Brandon Caiside was called forth into the presence of Their 
Excellencies, where he knelt before Baron Geldemar.  The Baron spoke of 
the many activities and accomplishments that Lord Brandon has undertaken 
in service to the Barony, and thus awarded him with the Baron's Award of 
Excellence.

Lord Tomas Trigvarsson and Lady Mahaut de la Mare were summoned into 
court, where Their Excellencies announced that the couple had completed 
2 of the 3 Marriage Bann challenges that were issued at the Try-it Day 
held in Brockore Abbey 2 weeks previously.  Their Excellencies were 
pleased at how well the challenges were met, but reminded Lord Tomas and 
Lady Mahaut that there still remained one final challenge to be met at 
the Nottinghill Coill Baronial Birthday.

Lord Felipe de Pomplona was summoned forth to kneel before Her 
Excellency.  The Baroness spoke of Felipe's skill on the rapier field, 
and his service as current Baronial Rapier Champion, and thus was 
pleased to award him with the Order of the Sword Knot.

There being no further business, Their Excellencies did close Their 
Baronial Court.

This account is accurate to the best of my knowledge and complete to the 
extent of the information availible to me.

Set down and submitted by my hand, I remain, faithful in service to 
Crown and Kingdom, Lord Cian mac Cellacháin hUí Dublaich,  Pursuivant 
herald.
