<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Good Gentles of our Barony Marche of
Debatable Lands! As our Barony has many who are both modest as well as
skillfull, I would report on some good works at Gulf Wars last week that will
otherwise be little recognized. First, our Captain of the Archers, Urho,
troubled by some shoulder pain, still took second in the Knowne World in a large
archery tournament. His son, Will Parris, took first in the non-White Scarf
Knowne World fencing tournament. Our former Seneschal and new citizen of
Aethelmearc, Illadore, took second in the Knowne World fencing tourney in a list
of 102 combatants. Boden and Gabriel did very well in the Knowne World
Squires Tournament, with Boden placing in the top 5 competitors in a huge
list. As you may recall, many Barony artisans replaced stolen regalia for
The Barony of Namron in Ansteorra. When faced with our
Kingdom army upon the field in the Town Battle, they promptly chose to
fight elsewhere, refusing to fight those who had shown such generosity.
Alastar's Bakery crew fed many hundreds of gentles who left satisfied and
happy, growing the Bakery's Knowne World reputation. As always, our King
Henri and Queen Elena and our Princess Tessa inspired us on the battlefield
and in peaceful pursuits. I am certain my memory fails to recall further
fine deeds or I would list them here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So Vivant to those who enjoyed Gulf Wars and
represented our Barony is such fine ways! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours in Service,</FONT></DIV>

Lands</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
