Unto Their Majesties Logan and Esa, Their Highness's Christoph and Adelhait and all of Atlantia does BAroness Wynne ferch Rhodri send greeting and a report...
On the bright day of Saturday, June 6, A. S. L (50), being
2015 mundanely, in the Barony of Highland Foorde, Atlantians met to do combat,
celebrate the Arts and Sciences, and revisit with friends old and new.

 

It was on this day, at this very site that Esa; Queen of
Glorious Atlantia did hold a brief Court. 
She did award to both Xixiilya of Macao and Xavier Santiago, Awards of
Arms for their contributions to shire and kingdom.  Though small in number, those who witnessed
this court shouted loud enough for Vivats to be heard even by the fighters in
the hollow.

 

Later that evening, Their Majesties Atlantia, Logan, King
and Esa, Queen held court before the assembled populace.  Their Highnesses Christoph and Adelhait were
also in attendance.

 

After all were welcomed, their Excellency’s of Highland
Foorde, Fergus Baron and Glynnis, Baroness, were being given permission to hold
Baronial Court.  These proceedings will
be reported by Their herald Lord Michael.

 

However…even as the inhabitants of the barony were called
before their leaders to be recognized for the many contributions the Highland
Foorde, Their Majesties Atlantia also chose to award the fine gentles with
Awards from Their hands.  

 

First was Páll Næsbjarnarson awarded the Silver Osprey,
which also conveyed an Award of Arms and Lord Páll returned to his seat amid
much cheering.  

 

Mordred of Highland Foorde was called next and given an
Award of Arms for his skills within the fighting community.

 

A name heard many times during court was that of Lady Sinn
Larensdottir.  This was due to her many
accomplishments for the barony especially in the art of calligraphy.  For this, she was awarded a Coral
Branch.  Her name continued to be heard
throughout the court, with the populace joining in as each maker of a scroll
was named.  

 

The Arts and Sciences are such a vital part of a kingdom’s
soul. Lady Violetta Catalina de Bretaigh has contributed much to our beloved
home and received a Coral Branch for her time and efforts

 

An Award of Arms was given to Alaric Messer for his skills
and efforts for Barony and Kingdom.   The
surprise on his face was apparent, as both Their Majesties and Their Highnesses
had to remind Lord Alaric to breathe. 
Such is the reason this Herald enjoys calling court.  The thrill of seeing folks surprised and
happy is most fulfilling.

 

Lord Fulk the Bald was welcomed into the Order of the Opal
for his skill in armoring and the encouragement of new fighters.  Many are those in Atlantia who bear both his
armor and teaching.

 

An Opal was also awarded to Lady Gheile Filia Alwardi, as
Atlantia knows that it cannot continue without those like Gheile, who
contribute time, effort, and skill to its benefit.

 

As our children are our most precious gifts, any person who
spends time teaching, mentoring and supporting deserves recognition.  Such was Taban Uneg, who for his efforts in
children’s combat received an Award of Arms.

 

Soon after the vivats died down, Their Majesties requested
that all Newcomers come forth and present themselves.  It was hoped that these new folk would continue
to attend future events and add to our growing populace.

 

Finally, the children were summoned before the Crowns, to
choose gifts from the Toy Box.  They were
pleased with the many choices and returned to their parents to begin playing
with their treasures.  Many of these
treasures were contributed by members of the populace and many thanks got to them.  Without these gifts, the Toy Box would be
empty and the children disappointed.

 

As the aroma of a fine feast wafted across the assembled,
Their Majesties ended court to many cheers and all departed to their various
destinations.  

 

To the best of my ability, this is submitted as a true
record…
