By Lady Rosanella Vespucci
Pursuivant Herald-at-Large
 
 
Unto the Kingdom of Atlantia and the most esteemed Triton
Herald, Master Bran Trefonnen, does Lady Rosanella Vespucci send greetings and
this report on Court business conducted at the above-named gathering, which is
true and complete to the best of our knowledge and efforts.
 
During the day, Their Majesties did call court on Their list
field and induct Lord Wistric Oftun into
Their Order of the White Scarf.  They also caused to be awarded a Sea Stag to Lord Dominyk Wolferam.  
 
In the early evening of the event, Their Majesties Michael and Seonaid did hold Court on this most
auspicious occasion celebrating the Thirtieth Birthday of Their Faire Kingdom.  The Populace was invited to take their ease and
His Majesty, having made a previous promise, did call all the Children of
Atlantia into Court and invite them to sit on soft blankets so as to observe
Court from an excellent perspective.  
 
Their Majesties’ then did call forth Their Order of the
White Scarf.  Baron Flaithri O’Cearnaigh
did speak on behalf of the Order and presented His Majesties with a gift of
beautifully crafted cloak clasps that were created by Master Vortigern for
Their Royal Majesties to use on the Royal Cloaks. Four of the clasps were
fashioned in pure silver and all the clasps had beautiful lapis stone
centers.  Their Majesties did offer
thanks to all in the Order for these beautiful gifts to the Crown.  
 
Lord Siegfried McClure was summoned before Their Majesties
Who did cause Lord Siegfried to be put on vigil to contemplate elevation to
Their Order of the Pelican.   
 
Lady Alienor de Bathe was then called forth and presented with a Quintain for her work in Atlantia’s great equestrian community.
 
Ceridwen of Needwood was
called before Their Majesties and received an Alcyon for being a most deadly archer, even at such a young age.  
 
Their Majesties did then invite all those for whom today was
their first event to come forth and receive a token of welcome and appreciation
from the Queen’s Own Hand.  
 
Baron Steffan Kennydd of Silverwing and Countess Elspeth
Keyfe of Neddingham were invited before Their Majesties and they did present
greetings and congratulations from Their Cousins of the East Kingdom,
Lucan and Jana.  
 
Wenzel von Ulm was
then ordered into Their Majesties’ presence to be raised to the nobility and
receive an Award of Arms.
 
Lord Ragnar
Rifsbrjotr (known as the “Ribcracker”) was called forth and presented with
a Sea Dragon for distinguishing
himself on Their Majesties’ rapier field.
 
Their Majesties did then cause Their Order of the Pearl to come before them and inducted Lady Margaret Wolseley into the
Order.  The Order was not allowed to
leave, however, until a most surprised Lady
Rosanella Vespucci was also added to their ranks.  
 
This most flustered herald did then resume her place behind
the Thrones to announce the winners of all of the wonderful competitions of the
day.  Their Majesties did also give
thanks to Baron Chirhart Blackstar and his wonderful staff for the sumptuous
repaste that was provided during the event.
 
Their Majesties did then summon forth all members of Their Order of the Golden Dolphin.  His Majesty personally went forth and
retrieved Lord Oissene na Cenn mac
Baiscind and escort him into court to be inducted into this most noble Order.  
 
Lucien Artz was
summoned forth and presented by Their Majesties with a Quintain for service to the equestrian community. 
 
Lord Estienne de Conde was then called into Court to receive a Sea Dragon.
 
Their Majesties did call forth Lady Elena Modorova vnuka, Gawain MacDonald (not present, but award
given), Margarethe Bar andSahira Nashita of Isenfir.  Her Majesty had previously heard this
quartet playing beautiful music which so moved Her Majesty that She did bestow
on each of them the Silver Nautilus.
 
Lady Celah Mora was
summoned before Their Majesties and was inducted into the Order of the Opal for her service to the Kingdom.   
 
At this time, Their Majesties granted the request of the
Canton of Abhainn Iarthair to come before them.  This generous Canton
did cause to be presented to Their Majesties a most wonderful gift of decorated
mounting blocks for Their Majesties’ use in the future.  
 
Their Majesties did then cause to come forth Baroness Bessenyei Rosza, Lady Eleanor du
Chester, Lady Nem Inghean Dochartaigh, and Lord Geoffrey Doune.  Their Majesties did praise the efforts of
these most worthy archers and did appoint them all to the Order of the King’s Missiliers.   Lord
Mungo Napier (Garth Groff) was not able to be present in Court, but Their
Majesties did also appoint Lord Mungo to the Order of the King’s Missiliers in absentia. 
 
Their Majesties’ summoned forth Lord Siegfried McClure and inducted him into Their Order of the Pelican.
 
His Majesty, feeling such great joy in celebration of the
Thirtieth Birthday of the Kingdom of Atlantia, did walk
amongst the people and address His populace.  He talked of the many who have laboured long to make This Kingdom the
Greatest Kingdom in the Knowne World, and some of those present were invited to
join His Majesty to be recognized.
 
There being no further business, Their Majesties did call for
Their Court to be closed and the populace joyfully went forth to celebrate into
the night.
