Good Tidings and Salutations from Their Excellencies Khadijah and Rodrigo.

Warriors and Warlords has come to a close for another year. We wish to thank everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make this a wonderful event. We have received many comments praising the event and telling us what a good time it was. It is gratifying to hear this and to know that our people helped make it possible. You honor us with your effort and make us proud to be a part of the fair Barony of Nordskogen.

Our August Folk Moot will be held on TUESDAY, August 3. This is a change from our usual Wednesday night as we have been invited to participate in the "Night Out" event sponsored by Palace Recreation Center. We are honored that our hosts likes our group and want us to be part of their celebration. There will be rapier and armored weapons fighting as well as Our Arts and Sciences Champion Competition. We hope that many of our fine artisans will consider entering the competition. Please bring your projects and appropriated documentation and compete for the honor of being the Nordskogen Arts and Sciences Champion! The competition will be in the standard bean count format. Please contact the current champion, Lady Ingileif Ketilsdottir, for more information.

We invite everyone to attend and participate in this folk moot and demo. Please wear your favorite garb, bring a project to work on and have fun.

In August We will be journeying to the lands of Calontir for St. Augustine's Faire. This is our joint event with the Barony of Coeur d'Ennui hosted by Herald's Hill August 27-29. We hope that many of the populace of the Barony of Nordskogen will join our caravan to this event. There will be fighting, archery, thrown weapons, an Arts and Sciences competition and this year they are adding Equestrian . Last year we had a wonderful time and are looking forward it again this year. Please join us for the fun.

May sunshine always grace your face so shadow never will.

Khadijah and Rodrigo
