Unto their most noble Majesties Cuan VII and Signy, King and Queen of fair
Atlantia and its most excellent populace does Baroness Wynne ferch Rhodri,
Blue Shark Herald and fortunate citizen, send greetings and a report…

On a cloudy yet pleasant Saturday, the 15th day of that month, an event was
held to test the mettle of Atlantia’s rapier, archery and thrown weapon
communities.  Others were welcomed to participate in carious games and
contests, the favorite being the Lochmere Signature Drink contest, or
peruse the wares of not too few merchants.

It was during the early evening, when all were ready to lay down arms,
drinking vessels and close their purses, that Their Majesties called their
people together so they might sit in state and dispense royal justice to
all.

As soon as all were seated, Baroness Evelyn Merrymet of Black Diamond spoke
about the upcoming Knowne World Dance and Music Symposium, 15-18 June to be
held here in Atlantia; more precisely in the little mundane village of
Timonium, Maryland.  And as this Herald believes dancing is good for the
heart, mind, body and soul, here is the ethereal site http://www.kwds.org/.
This is the only time the Symposium will be held within easy distance of
most of Atlantia and it is hoped that a mighty contingent of its populace
will attend and enjoy.

With that said their Majesties welcomed all the Newcomers into court and
invited the sitting coronets to also attend them in welcoming those who
will fill our ranks with new blood, ideas and skills.

Their Excellency’s of Lochmere were given leave to hold a baronial court
and that will be reported by their own herald as will be the court of the
Excellency’s of Bright Hills.

Their Majesty’s were now most ready to hold a magnificent royal court and
started it off with the Pearl scroll for Baroness Avice.  She had been
welcomed into the Order of the Pearl at Coronation.

There followed many awards for deeds and service…
        An Award of Arms to Angelo Di Marino, for teaching the fiber arts
in both Lochmere and Bright Hills.
        A Hippocampus to Caius Balthazar Silvano an indispensable worker
for the cooks as he hauls supplies, washes dishes, set-up and cleans up for
his folk.
        An Opal for lady Anne d’Evreaux (Caius mother) for her
contributions to the equestrian community.
        A Coral Branch to Lady Adrianna Michaels.  She has been Royal
Baker, and her skills in baking, research and teaching has enriched the
Kingdom and its waistline.
        A Coral Branch was also given to Lady Vadoma who won the Kingdom
Arts and Sciences Pentathlon and for her skill in embroidery and the
teaching that beautiful skill.
        Opals also went to the following: Lord Hannus Siltnen, who excels
in bardic performances and archery; Lady Sanada Katsumi for not only
running archery shoots but also hand painting 100 archery targets used by
competitors; and Baroness Tatiana Ivanova, who provided the Kingdom with
over 500 scroll covers and is ever present to assist at troll whenever
needed.
        An Award of Arms went to Eryn Meadows, who retains for their
Excellency’s of Lochmere, sets up and tears down sites and sings most
wonderfully in the Laydes Faire singing group.
        Katla Flokadottir also received an Award of Arms as she seems to
always be in the kitchen for Lochmere, or acting as chronicler, or is
learning to scribe and doing all these things with a smile.
        A pause was taken in court as a mystical communication device was
employed to announce this next award.  As the recipient was not at the
event and their Majesties dearly wanted to give this honor, the wondrous
far-speaker of old was employed by Baroness Daniela and given with great
reverence to their Majesty’s.  On the other end was Lady Katarzyna
Witkowska and while all waited in breathless silence King Cuan and Queen
Signy announced that she was to be a Baroness of the Court of Atlantia.  I
have it on good authority that there were tears shed by the new Baroness
and all assembled gave good and hearty cheers for this fine lady.  She has
been Poeta Atlantiae twice, has led our children into a new appreciation of
reading and writing poetry and provides children’s activities in Atlantia
and at Pennsic War.
        These next two were to be brought up and given children’s awards as
the work ethic and cheerful dispositions have brought then to their
Majesty’s attention; Gabriel von Regensburg received a Hippocampus and
Ysabel Aranda received the Arielle.  But the Crowns of Atlantia were not
satisfied with only those awards.  Indeed after finding out that Gabriel
serves his barony in fetching and carrying, clean-up and bad jokes with a
smile and Ysabel has through her kind consideration of all, her completion
of any and all tasks assigned to her especially the dishes both were
ennobled with an Award of Arms.  Both were cheered loudly and left court
with broad smile and proud parents.

Now this last award…what can your poor Herald say…or type?  Such a deed has
not been done in her presence nor in anyone’s in all of Atlantian memory,
but it seemed meet and right to the monarchs of Atlantia.  Baron Kryss
Kostarev was called into court.  We all know Kryss, he is every where; as a
herald, a chirurgeon, an archery marshal, knows his way around numbers as
an exchequer, and was chronicler for Stierbach.  With all that service, it
was only right that the Order of the Golden Dolphin be called in to welcome
their newest member.  There was a resounding AYE when asked to accept Baron
Kryss and many hugs and back thumping, yet not satisfied with this honor,
His Majesty then proceeded to call in the Order of the Pelican.  OH MY you
should have seen now-master Kryss’s face.  It was such a thrill to watch so
deserving a subject receive his due.  The medallion was from King Cuan
himself and he stated that Master Kryss was to sit vigil at Ruby Joust so
as to receive advice and encouragement from his fellow Pelicans.

With words of thanks and encouragement to attend a feast whose aroma was
gently wafting on the breeze, Their Majesty’s closed Their court and set
about the enjoyment of the upcoming evening.

This is a true account to the best of my ability.  If there are any
corrections please contact me privately.
In service I am,
Baroness Wynne ferch Rhodri
Blue Shark Herald
