[MR] Crown Tournament Royal Courts - May 1, AS 45

[Mike Brindle]

On a beautiful day of the new year of our society did eight worthy contenders assemble to face each other to become heirs to the Kingdom of Atlantia.  After many valiant battles Sir Bryan of Sacred Stone was victorious due to the inspiration of his beautiful consort Lady Brianna O Duinn.  Following the Crown Tournament the Knights of Atlantia took the field against all who would face them in a Tournament of Chivalry.  As the evening sun desended upon the fighting fields the populace gathered in the hall for Their Majesties Jason and Gerhild's court.

After thanking the crowd for assembling and recognizing the newcomer to our fair kingdom Their Majesties gave treats to the gathered children of Atlantia.  Then Their Excellencies Thylacinus and Adendra of Hidden Mountain came forward to swear their fealty to the Crown of Atlantia and provide gifts from the bounty of their lands to Their Majesties and Their Highnesses.  His Excellency Axel of Sacred Stone then came forward to swear fealty for his lands and provided gifts from his bounty as well.

Their Majesties were then minded to bring forward Asta Knarrarbringa and elevate her to the nobility with an Award of Arms.  Lady Megan of Tear Sea's Shore was called forward to announce the winners of the A&S and Tempore Atlantia competitions.  After that Alessandra Gangfeyr was brought forward to receive her Award of Arms.  Ysoria of Scarbough was asked to come forward but was not in the hall so His Excellency Axel of Sacred Stone, in who's lands she resides, received her Award of Arms to be presented at the next opportunity to do so.

Then Their Majesties asked Lord Seamus the Tinker to come forward and receive the Order of the Opal.  Following that Almon Guiscard was given an Award of Arms and Herrin Gisela vom Kreuzbach received the Award of the Herring.  Bor Mascon was then called forward to receive his Award of Arms and Lady Elisabeth Borden of Kent was given the Order of the Opal.  Their Majesties then called Anna of Strousborg into their presence to receive her Award of Arms.  Their Highnesses were given a moment to thank everyone who attended the tournament before Konungr Jason and Drottning Gerhild ended their court.
 
During the splendid feast that was prepared that evening Their Majesties noticed someone who was overdue for recognition by their predecessors and opened a court there in the feast hall.  Jamila bat Hayyim was called forward to receive her Award of Arms and with that final bit of business concluded everyone enjoyed the rest of the night.

So did things happen by my witness and competent report.
