Hello Altavia!

Summer has started with a busy month of fighting, celebrating, archery and arts.

We joined our cousins at two Anniversaries, first at Gyldenholt where we welcomed Dyrfinna and Brynjólfr as the new B&B, and then at Lyondomere, where the fighters were challenged to fight using many different weapons formats, in a fun, varied tournament. Both days we were thrilled to welcome many Altavians as well as guests to join us in the shade of the Baronial Dragonwing.

We also had the first of our new set of arts and classes, a photography and Lightroom class taught by our new A&S officer, Caterina.

Archery practices have also been revitalized, with our new Captain of Archers, Merlin running Royal Rounds multiple times, with 12 different archers logging Royal Rounds and 4 people gaining new ranks in the last month, with 3 new Bowmen, and a new Yeoman.

It has been great to see the excitement and growth this month, and we look forward to Coronation and the different tournaments in the next month, as well as seeing people at the next A&S class where we will be tooling leather coasters.

Yours in Service,

Baroness Amabel

Baron Griffith
