scroll which was split in two, and Her Majesty presented tokens to
each.
His Majesty called upon Corey Higgins and presented him with a token
of His esteem.  Corey had expressed his desire to fight the king, he
was nervous to enter the ring with such an experienced fighter, but at
the same time he was excited at the chance to cross swords with the
King.  His Majesty had been truly honored and pleased to have someone
with such enthusiasm seek him out.

invited to attend Their Majesties.  He brought forth tokens from his
crown and presented them to Their Majesties in a wool bag that he had
sewn himself.  Their Majesties thanked him for his kindness and
presented him with tokens and gifts to convey back to Their Majesties
of An Tir.  However Duncan and Ilish had been in contact with Their
Majesties Tiernan and Miranda of An Tir.  They had advised Them that
Lord Geoffrey was to be in attendance at the event that day and asked
that Duncan and Ilish conduct some business for them.  Their Majesties
Duncan and Ilish then inducted Geoffrey into the Order of the Jambe de
Leon for arts and Sciences for his woodworking and gifts to largess of
appliqué and embroidery.  Scroll by Lady Cara Donata da Fortuna.
Their Majesties called for Ken the Lost to attend Them.  They had

Lord Seamus MacPherson was called forth and thanked for his long
service as knight marshal of the shire.  Even though personal injury

Order of the Keystone.  Scroll by Lady Zosia Kowalewska.

up, always working hard so that others might enjoy themselves.  Scroll

Their Majesties called for Lady Renata Rouge and inducted her in the
Order of the Golden Alce.  They had been impressed with her return to

weapons range.  Scroll by Lady Mary Elizabeth Clason.
