Reporting Herald with the assistance of Lady Anlaith ingen Trena.

combat and his skill in leatherworking.  Scroll scrivened by THLady  
Antoinette de la Croix and limned by Her Excellency, Una de Saint Luc.

Their Majesties invited Mistress Karana Yabokchi to attend Them,  
whereupon (to nobody's surprise), she offered them a plate of  
culinary delicacies.  She also asked whether They had had any word of  
another gentle famed for culinary delicacies; Their Majesties noted  
that They hoped to have word soon.

Their Majesties summoned Master Alastar Scott MacCrummin into Their  
Presence, and asked whether he had taken counsel of the Companions of  
the Most Noble Order of the Pelican, as They had instructed some time  
ago.  Master Alastar replied that he had taken such counsel and would  
be pleased to accede to Their Majesties' wishes and proceed with  
elevation to such Order.  Their Majesties then called forth the  
Companions of the Most Noble Order of the Pelican, and as is  
customary, asked to hear words concerning Master Alastar.  Having  
heard from His Excellency, Syr Bera the Wallsbane; Sir Kadan  
Chakhilgan ger on Echen; Master Creature Twyne Dragon; Mistress  
She'erah bat Shlomo; and Her Excellency, Judith of Kirtland, Their  
Majesties declared Themselves pleased with all They had heard, and  
asked that Alastar be invested with regalia appropriate to his new  
station.  Their Majesties called for a cloak, placed about Alastar's  
shoulders by his lady wife, THLady Myfanwy ferch Rhiannon, and noted  
that several medallions were present:  the Ancestral Medallion of  
AEthelmearc, presented by Master Creature Twyne Dragon; the medallion  
of Master Johan von Traubenberg, who had long argued with Alastar  
over the virtues of Pelican kitchens vs. Laurel kitchens, presented  
by his lady wife, Her Excellency, Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope; and  
a medallion made specially for Alastar by the hand of Her Excellency,  
Mistress Aleea Bagah.  Their Majesties then received Alastar's Oath  
of Fealty, and presented him to the assembled populace.  Promissory  
scroll by Her Excellency, Mistress Graidhne ni Ruaidh.

Their Majesties asked to have words with Mistress Amaryllis Coleman.   
They noted with praise not only her many years of clothing the  
populace, but also her years of teaching others the tailor's and  
costumer's arts, and her happy talent for turning shapeless piles of  
cloth into wondrous forms of clothing.  They then summoned the  
Companions of the Most Noble Order of the Laurel, and instructed  
Amaryllis to take counsel of them, that she might return before Their  
successors, Rurik and Angelik, at the AEthelmearc 10th Year  
Celebration, there to answer the question whether she will accept  
elevation to said Order.  Scroll by Hrefna in heppna Thorgrimsdottir.

The Court of Their Majesties was closed.
