<br>Their Excellencies called THLord Deryk Archer to come before Them. Her Excellency told of Deryk's promise to enter Their first brewing championship, and remarked on the lack of any entry from the good gentle in question. Deryk replied that he had been detained by ravening hordes upon his arrival at his camp, and during his attempts to placate their rage he was unable to get to the championship; however Deryk did bring a bottle of his finest for Her Excellency in lieu of his earlier participation. Her Excellency accepted gratefully and then began to talk of the many works She had seen Deryk working much for the glorification of Æthelmearc both inside the borders of the barony and without. For this Their Excellencies were pleased to induct Deryk into the Order of the Green Comet. Scroll by Baroness Alexandra di Campagnella.<br>
