<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We write to you this day to ask for your support of
the archery community in our Sylvan Lands. Over the cold months of winter,
the skills of our archers must not wither, lest we be unable to protect our
lands when the thaws of Spring arrive. Thus, we look to the archers of
your Baronies to participate in the Gwyntarian Winter Challenge and continue
shooting in the winter months.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We challenge the Baronies of Aethelmearc to post
scores in this competition, in the hopes that Aethelmearc may distinguish
herself by having the greatest number of archers at the end of
winter.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Although we would be happy to answer any questions
about this competition, such questions would be better addressed to the Kingdom
Archery Champion, Brandubh o Donnghaile, or our archery marshall, Urho
Waltterinen.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
