[Craig]

Unto Your Majesties Vladimir and Kalisa, Your Highnesses Amos and 
Ysabella, Your Excellencies Takeda and Ariel, 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 morning Baronial Court 
from the Nottinghill Coill Baronial Birthday and Investiture in 
February, AS 47.

At the celebration of Nottinghill Coill's Baronial Birthday and 
Investiture, held in the Barony of Nottinghill Coill on February 23, 
2013, also known as Anno Societatis 47, Their Excellencies Geldamar and 
Etain, Baron and Baroness of Nottinghill Coill, did process for the 
final time into court behind Their Majesties Vladimir and Kalisa

Their Majesties did open a Royal Court, which was heralded by Baron 
Lucien de la Rochelle, and will be reported on by him.  During the Royal 
Court, Their Majesties did bid Baron Geldamar and Baroness Etain to open 
Their own Baronial court to conduct some business.

Their Excellencies of Nottinghill Coill did command Their herald to open 
court for the last time.

After some words to the populace of welcome, Their Excellencies did call 
forth Lord Darius of Brockore Abbey, and present him with the Award of 
the Golden Cord for his service to the Barony.

Sir Axel of Tavestia, Viscount of Drachenwald, was invited into court, 
where he presented Their Excellencies with a gift basket in appreciation 
of Their hospitality and friendship over the years.

Their Excellencies then invited Their Cousin, Baroness Adendra of Hidden 
Mountain, to come into Their court, where she also presented a gift 
basket of items of relaxation.

The Baronial Champions were summoned forth, and were thanked for their 
service to the Barony.  After releasing each of them from service and 
retrieving the champion regalia, each of them was inducted into the 
order of the Coill’s Champions.  The retiring champions are as follows: 
  Armored Champion: Syr Afshin.  Rapier Champion: Lord Elphin ap 
Daffyydd, Archery Champion: Lady Rohesia of Thessalonika, Arts and 
Sciences Champion: Lady Milicent Shively, Equestrian Champion: Baroness 
Beatrice Von Staufen, and Youth Archery Champion: Erik Hawkins.

Their Excellencies then summoned Lord Saben before Them, where Lord 
Saben was thanked for his service to the Barony and to Their 
Excellencies, much of it behind the scenes, and was thus given the Award 
of the Golden Cord.

Mistress Brig ingen Erennaigh was called before Their Excellencies, and 
thanked for her service to the Barony in reviving the Baronial Scrolls 
and leading the effort to get scrolls done in time for courts.  Baron 
Geldamar was pleased to present her with his Baron’s Award of Excellence.

Their Excellencies then called Dame Morwenna Trevethan, Baroness Delia 
The Flammable, Lady Millicent Shively, Lady Tamura, Lord Felipe de 
Pamplona, Lord Elphin ap Daffydd, M’lord Tristan, and Lord Cian mac 
Ceallachain Ui Dubhlaich before them.  Thanking them for their service 
to the Barony and to Their Excellencies especially, Baron Geldamar and 
Baroness Etain presented each with a pair of woven garters in Their 
Excellencies’ personal colors.

Timing it just right, Their Excellencies waited until Baroness Delia and 
Lord Ephin were just getting back to their seats before calling them 
back into court.  Baron Geldamar and Baroness Etain spoke of all the 
support that Elphin and Delia have given to them and to the Barony, and 
thus were pleased to award them with the Coill’s Guiding Beacon.  They 
were presented with a pair of matched scrolls done in gold leaf by 
Mistress Brig which were absolutely beautiful to behold.
Finally, Their Excellencies did thank the populace for the honor of 
serving as the Baronage for the past three years.  The herald then 
closed Their court for the final time, and Their Excellencies of 
Nottinghill Coill, Baron Geldamar and Baroness Etain, returned Their 
coronets to the safekeeping of Their Majesties and stepped down from the 
thrones of Nottinghill Coill.

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.
