[MR] Nottinghill Coill Baronial Court Report - A Steppe Through Time: The Wrath of Khan

[Craig]

Unto Your Majesties Vlad and Kalisa, Your Highnesses Amos and Ysabella 
Your Excellencies Geldamar and Etain, the Triton Principal Herald, the 
Atlantian College of Heralds, the populace of Atlantia and all who read 
this missive:

Greetings from Lord Cian mac Cellacháin hUí Dubhlaich, Gordian Knot 
Pursuivant herald, and herald of record for the Baronial Court from the 
event A Steppe Through Time: The Wrath of Khan in November, AS 47.

At the celebration of Steppe Through Time: The Wrath of Khan, held in 
the Barony of Nottinghill Coill on November 10, 2012, also known as Anno 
Societatis 47, Their Excellencies Geldamar and Etain, Baron and Baroness 
of Nottinghill Coill, did process into court.

They briefly welcomed everyone, and commented on how much They had 
enjoyed the event, and gave the autocrat, Lord Savage, congratulations 
for providing such beautiful weather.

Baron Geldamar then rose to address the children in attendance.  Much to 
His chagrin, the Treasure Box was left behind at Their Excellencies 
Keep, so They had no toys to provide the children.  However, His 
Excellency promised all children that came to Yule Toy Tourney in a few 
weeks would get TWO toys as compensation!

Lord Donal Oneal was summoned forth from the kitchen where he spent the 
day working on the feast.  As he approached, his wife Lady Milicent 
could be heard to say “He’s been behaving himself…today!”.  Their 
Excellencies, excited about the smells coming forth from the kitchen, 
wished to reward Lord Donal for his work on many a feast by inducting 
him into the Order of the Pewter Spoon.

The newcomers were invited to come forward, Baroness Etain thanked them 
for coming to the event, and encouraged them to return to future events.

Lord Ephin ap Daffyd was invited before Their Excellencies to make a 
presentation.  It seems that at a previous event, one of the Barony’s 
rapier fighters, Tristan, had left his blue scarf hanging on the list 
field.  Lord Elphin retrieved it, and as a moment of instruction, 
informed Tristan that he would have to work to earn it back at a future 
event.  This event was the one, and Tristan had to fight all rapier 
fighters in attendance in the style of their choosing.  The members of 
the Acadamie d’Espee’ were satisfied, and Tristan’s blue scarf was 
returned to him.  Lord Elphin was proud of how well Tristan acquitted 
himself, and thus wished to exchange his blue scarf for a special one 
made by Baroness Delia, in token of his admiration.

As Tristan turned to retreat to his seat, Baroness Etain stopped him, 
and spoke kindly of his enthusiasm on the rapier field, not only going 
off after a fighter of wide renown at WOW, but also defeating him in 
single combat.

The Autocrat of the event, Lord Savage Blackwolf, was called forward to 
address the populace.  Lord Savage thanked the people in attendance, as 
well as his staff, and proceeded to announce the winners of the various 
competitions.

Their Excellencies then had Lord Dietrich von Stroheim brought forth 
before them.  Because of his service to the Barony, They wished to award 
him with the Silver Knot, something they had tried to do at War of the 
Wings, but Lord Dietrich had somehow escaped before They could do it.

There being no further business before Them, Their Excellencies did 
close their court and process out.

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

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