Here are the details for the Bardic Quest on Saturday at Southern Crusades:
Look ye thy gentle bards, if thou art ready to quest, as thou hast intended,
submit ye to three challenges. I charge thee, to find each challenge and  in
finding the first thou shall not fail to find the next. Take heed, pilgrim, to
find thyself victorious whilst on this journey you will have need to bring
fourth laughter, elicit love, and inspire.

Seek me thy self, at the time and place the marshal would inspect the fighters
of our kingdom, and as your eyes drink in the preparations for war, your ears
will find the one who holds the beginning to your quest.

Greetings,

Rogue Haven is looking for several strong willing hands for Estrella. We will
pay your entrance fee, and provide vittles. We will be camping in the Medieval
Village this year and need hands to assist with set up, water hauling, a few
small chores during the war, and break down. I promise you will have plenty of
time to enjoy the war as set up and break down are the busy days the rest is
minimal. I also promise you will be well fed, you can ask around what feast
night is like at Rogue Haven.

Please sent me your interest to carol_nightshade @ hotmail.com.

I wanted to make sure I make time to say thank you to everyone who made
Coronation so amazing and wonderful for me.  It has been an honor beyond words
to have been Queen of these glorious lands.  I have met so many good people and
had many of those turn into good friends.  I have been overwhelmed by the
generosity of Atenveldt.  From the clothing that was created for HE Count Sir
Thomas and myself and our spouses, to the delicious feasts and libations that
were created for us to enjoy, to the time and efforts of every person who set up
tents and took them down only to set them up again.  The gifts we received were
beyond wonderful and the largesse we were able to gift to other Kingdoms truly
made us proud and made Atenveldt shine with the brightness of the sun (as she
always does in my heart).
Our warriors fought bravely and with determination on every field, our artisans
created such works of beauty and quality as to rival all others we had the
fortune to witness, and without our volunteers this reign could not have
happened as easily or as well as it did (if at all).  I had fun spending time
with all my Ladies in Waiting and was more at peace knowing my Guardsmen and
Guards-women were always there for me.  I feel like I will never be able to
repay all the kindnesses I received over the last 6-9 months, but that will not
stop me continuing to try to say thank you now as Countess of this beautiful
realm.
Atenveldt, I remain Yours in heart and service,
Countess Ilora von Neunhoff
Long Live The King!  Long Live The Queen!  Long Live These Glorious Lands of
Atenveldt!
PS: Any Ladies in Waiting and/or Guards that were not able to be at Coronation,
please contact me directly to receive your gift.  Those who received Sigils
and/or Cyphers who did not get their t-shirt yet, also please contact me.  Thank
you.

Come one and all to celebrate a day of remembrance.  This will not be a day for
sorrow, but rather one of joy and memory.  This event will see the return of the
Barony of SunDragon to fund raising in the names of some of our family members
who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  This is a brand new event, so there
is much that can be made fresh and new.  Will you help your family in this
endeavor?

This event will take place at the fighter practice field (Cheyenne Elementary
School) on Sunday, December 2, 2012.  Site will open at 10 AM and will close at
sunset.  There will be a ringing of the bell and a call for names and stories to
close the event.

What we are asking of the SunDragon family is that they come out to support the
idea of the day and that they offer to volunteer to sponsor some events.  There
are all kinds of possible ideas:  A Yehudah silly rapier tourney, A Kon Hawke
bardic/story telling competition, an Otto mass weapon tourney, an Otto and
Wolfie team tourney, a Barry Bard knick knack sales table, an Alice's picnic
basket auction, a Blanche's A&S silent auction, and so forth and so on.

Please contact the Baroness and Baron if you have an idea for an event that you
would be willing to sponsor.

Site is Cheyenne Elementary School
87th Ave. one half mile South of Cactus
No alcohol or smoking on school grounds
Leashed pets are welcome

Sunday!

Sunday!!

SUNDAY!!!


Come one, come all!

This Sunday at the Barony of Sundragon Fighter Practice we will hold the annual
Burning Ship tourney in the memory of Rodderick the Sly, DWS.

The format will depend on the number of fighters, but as always, the goal is to
try to escape from the ship before the powder keg blows you to smithereens.

The winner gets to hold the pistols for the next year, and determine the
specifics of the tourney next year.

See you there!

Greetings unto the populace!!

This message is intended primarily for warranted chirurgeons as well as those
seeking to become chirurgeons within this glorious kingdom.

If you are neither of these, you are welcome to keep reading. Otherwise, nothing
to see here, move along. (Just kidding, of course)

As your new kingdom chirurgeon, my first initiative is to facilitate better
communication among members of the chirurgeonate. To that end, I have created 2
useful tools.

There is now a Yahoo group for chirurgeons in Atenveldt. It can be found at the
following address:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atenveldtchirurgeons/

It is a moderated group.

Also, I have started a Facebook page exclusively for chirurgeons within the
kingdom (chirurgeons-in-training are also welcome).   If you would like to be
invited to the group, hit me up.

It is my sincere hope that with these two resources, we will be able to better
communicate and coordinate the needs within the chirurgeonate and, ultimately,
the kingdom.

In service to the Kingdom and the Dream,

Seigneur Gefroi le Gris
Kingdom Chirurgeon

January 5, 2013                                 Kingdom of Atenveldt
