Hi all,

At this time I have confirmed two of my four Gemstone Challenges and 
had a "soft confirmation" on one of the remaining two.
So at this time:

Prize: One faceted 26.8 ct Green Amethyst stone

The Tanzanite Challenge: Confirmed for Carillion's "Ghosts, Ghouls, 
and Goblins", Game : Hnefatafl, Prize: One faceted 27ct Tanzanite  stone

The Ruby Challenge: Pending Confirmation, Game : Alquerques, Prize: 
One faceted 35.75ct Ruby

The Grand Challenge: Confirmed for Carillion's "Bellringers Feast and Revel"
         Game : Three rounds: 1) 9 Men's Morris    2) 
Hnefatafl      3) Alquerques
         Prizes: Third: Hand made leather 9 Men's Morris board by

                 Second: Hand made wood Hnefatafl by <ID pending>,

                      First: Hand made cloth 9 Alquerques board by 
Lady Amy Webbe, 12 pieces each of 6mm round Rubies and Sapphires

All stones and boards will be on display at each of the above events 
until they ar given as prizes.  So the first event will have all and 
then the set will start...diminishing as prizes are awarded.

I have been contacted by our friends and allies in Atlantia that they 
intend to join us so come out and show our Southern neighbors some 
friendly competition!

Email me directly for questions.
