<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>On a bright late summer morn, when the Sun shared the sky with the Moon and
<BR>the omens were nigh for the end of their reign, Havordh Rex and Mary-Grace
<BR>Regina did hold their final court.
<BR>
<BR>They first received words of greeting from Daniel of Wales, keeper of the
<BR>lands who told of it's history and welcomed our use of it.
<BR>
<BR>Then they did engage in the following business as the fading moon fled the
<BR>sky and the rising sun did move to claim it's place:
<BR>
<BR>Mistress Minowara Kiritsubo - Order of the Laurel
<BR>Alanna O'Keefe - Award of Arms
<BR>Barktooth of the Short Beard - Award of Arms
<BR>Christian de Gente - Award of Arms
<BR>Lady Anne of Brantingham - Silver Nautilus
<BR>Micaela the Subtle - Award of Arms
<BR>Lady Aoife ni Mhaille - Silver Nautilus
<BR>Gunther von Drachenburg - Order of the White Scarf
<BR>
<BR>Then her Majesty did call the ladies of her court forward to receive the
<BR>Undine:
<BR>Baroness Denise Duvalier
<BR>Lady Gabrielle de Carcassone
<BR>Lady Anne of Brantingham
<BR>Lady Karen Larsdatter
<BR>Lady Ilse Brenner
<BR>Lady Tonwen ferch Morien
<BR>Lady Maura mac Pharlain
<BR>Lady Shelby of Blackrose
<BR>Lady Sorcha de Glys
<BR>Lady Lisette la Roux
<BR>Lady Brighid nic Thighearnain
<BR>Katherina Kristianova Volkho
<BR>
<BR>Their Majesties then gave a Grant of Arms to Baroness Denise Duvalier
<BR>
<BR>Then Her Majesty did call her Queen's Guard forward to receive the Undine:
<BR>Lord Kharstin von Werner
<BR>Baron Nikoli Dmitri Aidanov Dolgorukova
<BR>Lord Tristan von Schwarzwald
<BR>Lord Gaston du Valmont
<BR>Lord Iustinus Ombrokharhenos
<BR>
<BR>Her Majesty then gave Mistress Cuanin Beornhelm an Undine
<BR>
<BR>Their Majesties had their herald, Lord Michael Batcok, called forward and
<BR>they did give him the Order of the Nonpareil
<BR>
<BR>His Majesty did then give his Award of Excellence to:
<BR>Lord Edmund Sharpe
<BR>Sir (Kiegan) Mathias Brousard le Caignon
<BR>
<BR>With this business completed did their Majesties release their Royal
<BR>Household saving only Sir Kiegan and the Triton Herald to stand as witness to
<BR>the next events. For, as the omens foretold, the full weight of the crown
<BR>did grow heavy on the brow of the king and madness overwhelm him.
<BR>
<BR>His Majesty Havordh did have read a proclamation pardoning the free companies
<BR>of Anglesea for all misdeeds, real or imagined. These words did cause His
<BR>Highness Galmr to come forward, express his unfavorable opinion of that
<BR>action, and claim the Crown of Atlantia. Queen Mary-Grace was escorted to
<BR>safety by Sir Kiegan as King Havordh meet the fate decreed by the Omens.
<BR>
<BR>So did the end of the reign of Havordh and Mary-Grace come to pass. If any
<BR>would claim a better memory of the event, let him speak to me at:
