[Ponte Alto] Gulf Wars XI

[DCADENISE at aol.com]

Greetings unto the populace of Ponte Alto
     We have just returned from our journey from Gulf Wars XI.  Their 
Majesties, King Galmr and Queen Aryanna proclaimed that our faire kingdom 
would fight beside the Kingdom of Trimaris.  We were heavily outnumbered but 
that did not deter the enthusiasm and excitement of Atlantians at the war.  I 
would like to take this opportunity to share the gallant efforts of those 
from our faire barony as well as others from our kingdom.  If I have 
mistakenly left someone out or their effort during the war....please accept 
my sincere apologies.  I would like to thank the following the people for 
making the long drive to Meridies and supporting the barony and Their Most 
Gracious Majesties during Gulf Wars XI ...
     I would first like to thank Countess Kyneburh Boithuile.  She graciously 
agreed to help and support the barony by casting pewter bridges for the 
baronial fighting favors.  Our fighters were greatly enthused to wear such a 
grand favor on behalf of the barony.  
     THL Giuliana Salviati, first let me first congratulate you on winning 
the Pentathlon in Persona at Kingdom A&S earlier this month.  At the war she 
served as a loyal lady in waiting to HRM Queen Aryanna.  She was a constant 
baronial and kingdom supporter during the war.
     Lady Anne of Brantingham.  She served as a loyal (and comic relief) lady 
in waiting to Queen Aryanna.  She was King Galmr's messenger.  She fought in 
the order of the rose rapier tournament for the honor of Her Majesty, Queen 
Aryanna.
     Our baronial artisan Lady Lucia Antony de Venise.  Lucia was the 
co-landocrat for the kingdom of Atlantia at Gulf Wars.  She has been 
coordinating and volunteering her time for several months now to make sure 
the kingdom of Atlantia had the land they needed for the war.  Queen Aryanna 
wore a necklace that was made by Lucia to the Order of the Rose rapier 
tournament.  This piece of jewelry was documented from a 15th century 
painting.
     Master Kevin of Thornbury.  Master Kevin fought in the order of the rose 
rapier tourney for the honor of Princess Isabel. Where the favor from Her 
Highness, for the tournament, was the veil she was wearing. He fought very 
well in the tournament and went deep going 4 rounds in a single elimination 
competition.  Kevin also was championed to fight in the tournament of roses / 
heavy weapons tournament, which he fought for the honor of Countess Caia.  
Kevin also carried the Atlantian banner in the royal procession for opening 
ceremonies.  He also was the herald for Atlantian field court.  He fought in 
all the heavy weapons battles.  
    His Excellency, Count Ragnarr Blackhammer.  He was in commanders meetings 
planning the strategy of our kingdom, working beside TRM and our kingdom 
warlord, Duke Cuan.  He fought in all the battles and was a major force for 
the Atlantian army.  His Excellency was also sponsored in the order of the 
rose rapier tournament by Her Highness of Trimaris.  His Excellency did very 
well in the tournament and went deep, going 4 rounds in a single elimination 
competition.  His Excellency was awarded the Shark's Tooth for his valor on 
the field during the first of three field battles.
     Baron Sir Thomas of Calais.  Thomas scored war points in the thrown 
weapons portion of the war. Thomas was the only Atlantian to score war points 
in thrown weapons. Thomas also fought for the honor of Countess Caia in the 
heavy weapons tournament of the roses.  He also wore a new fighting tabard 
during the war made for him by Her Excellecy-Countess Mary Grace.
     I would also like to take this quick opportunity to acknowledge some 
other Atlantians during the war.  Atlantian's very own Conner was a finalist 
in the order of the rose rapier tournament, he was sponsored by Countess 
Caia.  Gunther was the only Atlantian to be selected to fight rapier on 
behalf of the allies champion battle (war point) which he gloriously won.  
Sir Havordh and Lord Brian of Sacred Stone were the Atlantians selected to 
fight in the heavy weapons champion battle (war point), which I am pleased to 
announce that both fighters won their match. Countess Brigit of Mercia did 
very well in the A&S portion of the war.  
     Please congratulate those members of the kingdom and of the barony that 
made such a strong presence at Gulf Wars XI.  I believe everyone had a 
wonderful time.  Thanks to all who made this time at the war so memorable

Yours in Service,
Baroness Denise Duvalier
