[Ponte Alto] Golden Rose Tourney

[Max Nelson]

As a participant, I would like to extend my deep gratification to  
Countess Denise and Countess Allanda for organizing and inviting us  
onto their teams, organizing and coordinating our teams to ensure we  
could compete at the event, and deeply and truly inspiring our hearts,  
our spirits, and our arms to deeds of action with like-minded comrades  
who themselves further inspired us all to action.

It was a chance to fight beyond my self, but for a worthy team -- and  
not only for that team, but for that team with a cause.  How glorious  
and grand to add so much dimension beyond the ordinary to our fighting  
by which to inspire and make the deed worthy!  For this, I give great  
thanks.

More personally, for those who missed it, I would like to thank  
Mistress Cunian for the magnificent work she did on putting together  
the remarkable Kraken scroll presented me by the King (the King  
remarked on how it was likely the most amazing Kraken scroll he had  
ever seen) -- and which she hid all weekend long in my own car. You  
can see a copy of the scroll at http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568046949_rkzLB-A-LB 
  -- and you can see a copy of the King granting me the award at http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568045824_6aVws-A-LB 
  (assuming any interest on your part).

Besides Cunian's scroll and her previously mentioned award for Honor,  
and Lord Stephen's outstanding induction into the Order of the White  
Scarf, we should also note the outstanding fighting that was done both  
by Theresa and Lucas.  Theresa's performance on the field was notable  
and outstanding and for a novice she was an outstanding wingman and  
got quite far into the tournament.  Lucas was also a very notable  
fighter in the tournament, and his skill and prowess were observed  
with regard.

Our friend and Stierbachi local, Ragnarr Ribcracker was good enough to  
be a part of the winning team, and we are glad and proud of his  
outstanding efforts throughout the tournament.

I hope everyone will join me in taking what occasions they might to  
thank our Ladies of the Rose for the beauty, grace, and service they  
have and continue to bring forth in our kingdom -- and for the example  
and inspiration they bring to all.

In service,

Max Von Halstern
