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.</div><div><br></div><div>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 <a href="http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568046949_rkzLB-A-LB">http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568046949_rkzLB-A-LB</a> -- and you can see a copy of the King granting me the award at <a href="http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568045824_6aVws-A-LB">http://www.waywardwolfephoto.com/gallery/8576680_uqpua#568045824_6aVws-A-LB</a> (assuming any interest on your part).</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>In service,</div><div><br></div><div>Max Von Halstern</div><br><div><div>On Jun 17, 2009, at 3:42 PM, <a href="mailto:dcadenise@aol.com">dcadenise@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Greetings-<br> <br> As a Lady of the Rose living in Ponte Alto I would like to share my admiration and appreciation to all the members of Ponte Alto who made the journey last weekend to support the Golden Rose Tourney. The tourney had 17 teams representing 17 different Roses. Each Rose invited 5 people from the martial arts (one knight, two unbelts, one rapier and one archer) to be a part of her team.
