Their Excellencies letter to the populace from The Quill November 2003

Good Tidings and Salutations from Their Excellencies Rodrigo and Khadijah,

We would like to congratulate the new Stellar Heir’s, Their Excellencies Hrodr Vigageirr Toreson and our own Giulia Isabella da Venezia on winning the last Northshield Coronet Tournament. It is a wonderful thing to have so much Royalty resident in our Barony, please check with Their Stellar Excellencies chamberlain, Lady Mairghread to see what you can do to support Their Stellar Excellencies during Their heirship and Their reign.

It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have a new baronial Equestrian champion. Syr Durand Fitz Robert was successful at our Baronial Equestrian Competition put on by Lady Thuri in vanquishing a great many monsters from atop his steed and won the day with his fine horsemanship. Vivant to Syr Durand and to the others who competed for the honor!

Fall in all its wonderful colors is here and not far around the corner comes the symbol of our heraldry. It harkens not the cold, biting winds and frozen grounds, but the warm hearts and kinship we all share. It also harkens a grand event with much revelry and good tidings that we throw for all to come join us in, Nordskogen’s 12th Nite. Such a wonderful event does not happen without each of us taking the time to help make it what it is. Please speak with Lady Ursula about where you can volunteer some of your time and get your name added to her clipboard of love!

We have had a very busy year and we are fortunate to have a wealth of Royalty that is very familiar with us, however They need award recommendations with details of the spectacular things we see our friends do so they can properly recognize them. We, too, will be working diligently on providing Their Majesties and Their Stellar Highnesses with the specific feats of service, skill, and commitment of individuals and ask that you include a copy of the award recommendation to us so we may assist in providing input in our recommendations.

May sunshine always grace your face so shadow never will.

Rodrigo and Khadijah.
