Hello Altavia! It’s been a busy month of events!

Academia Draconis started off the month with a full weekend of classes, camping and fighting! The wide variety of combat based classes was fantastic, and really allowed for indepth learning and teaching.

It felt like as soon as we were back home we were holding our practice ransom tournament in preparation for our Baronial Anniversary coming up in May. A huge thank you to Giaccino and Brianna, our event stewards who are putting together such a fun and unique tournament format. Thank you as well to everyone who showed up to help us work out all the kinks and get a greater understanding of how the format will work for all.

The next weekend, we had Consorts Champion -take 2- which went great, even with the reappearance of the rain. The mixture of sprinkles, winds, downpour and sunshine could not overshadow the joy of the fighters on the field, and her majesty’s excitement to finally have Champions.

A huge congratulations to the Armored Champion, Musa Black, the first Cut and Thrust Champion, Crow, and the Rapier Champion, Nafar, who not only won the rapier tournament , but was also offered to join the Order of Defense.

During the next week at our monthly arts and sciences class we got together a wonderful group to help start making the belt favors for our Altavian Champions for the upcoming year. We got all the favors sewn, and block printing started on both the champion favors and the site favors for Anniversary.

The month ended with our cousins in Al Sahid and DunOr celebrating their Anniversaries. While we were unfortunately unable to attend Al Sahid, we were happy to know that Altavia was well represented by our populace. We wish our DunOr cousins a happy first year, and had a great time at their anniversary.

We are looking forward to the next month, which is full of tournaments and Anniversaries, including our own!

In Service to the Dream,

Baroness Amabel Radleigh
