Words from Their Excellencies David and Arabella

Greetings unto the fine Barony of Ynys Fawr,

Since last we spoke, Arabella has returned safely to our fine shores after spending a week wayfaring within the peaceful Barony’s of Stormhold and Krae Glas. Alongside many of our Cousins, she took great pleasure in witnessing many a Chivalric and Noble Combatant take to the field to contest for the Crown of Lochac.

Amongst these noble faces, stood two Ynys Fawrian’s, Sir Wulfgar Jarsida and Lord Thomas De Le Mar, both of which comported themselves with great virtue and honour. After a long day of bouts, one was victorious and Crown Prince Þorvaldr inn Suðreyski and Crown Princess Amabilia Thexton were declared the Heirs of the Kingdom of Lochac.

After the tournament, the afternoon shared much frivolity. Highlights included the Blue Feather afternoon tea, hosted by The Honourable Lady Nicolette, a Royal Archery Round, marshalled by The Honourable Lord Charle du Bois followed by an evening of entertainment led by Master Dafydd of the Glens.

We would say that we were astonished by the level of care and genuineness that the Populace from these two great Barony’s, gave to all those who journeyed to their shores, however, from our travels we have learnt that this standard is consistently high and awe inspiring. In particular we would like to thank our dear cousins, Baron Leif and Eleonora for their hospitality and light-hearted humour, to Lady Luisa who spent much of their time on gate welcoming all as they arrived, to Countess Beth’s feast stewarding team, responsible for many a delicious morsel and last but certainly not least, to the Honourable Lady Nicolette who hosted her Excellency during her time abroad, sparing no effort in making her feel like part of the family.

With our eyes towards the horizon, we wait in eager anticipation for the event Raphia to Pavia this October. We encourage all to make you plans, and book in advance for what will be an event of much joy, friendship and prowess.
Yours in service,
David and Arabella
