Hello Altavia,

We had a wonderfully busy month, with Arts, Archery and Melees.

We started off with Consorts Champion Ranged hosted by Lyondomere at our local Woodley park archery range. It was packed on the line, with tons of archers and crossbowmen. Everyone got lots of shooting in, and her majesty ended up with wonderful champions in crossbow, open hand bow and handbow. I am looking forward to the thrown weapons Championship this coming weekend at Rapier War.

We hosted Festival of the Rose, and it was the most amazing event I could have ever dreamed. We had two brand new stewards; Serafina and Cosimo step up and run this as their first ever event. They put together a wonderful staff, and had many people step forward to help with different aspects of the event from serving a donation lunch for the public, to running classes, to arts displays and a bardic showcase. A huge thank you to both of them and everyone who helped with the planning and execution of a wonderful event. Everything went wonderfully and I’m so proud of everyone who contributed.

The following weekend was Angels Melee, and it was a wonderful day to get out and fight with our friends! Altavia set up camp in the corner by the Rapier field and it was a joy to watch and see all of the different Rapier fighters fight with and against everyone else on the field. The Harnischfechten fighting demonstrations were really neat to watch and it was exciting to get to see the different forms that are available within the new fighting form. The weather was lovely and it was a great day to be out with our community.

We’re all ramping up now for wars with Phoenix War and Rapier War coming up right around the corner. I’m looking forward to the next month of wars, archery tournaments and Anniversaries.

In service to the dream,
Baroness Amabel Radleigh
