Hello Altavia!

We have had a busy month, from June into July, with lots of practices, activities, events and participation!

We started off with our first scribal get together in a while, with a small gathering to learn and chat. One of the scrolls that had illumination started that day was even presented at Coronation!

The next week we held a Largesse night, with members of the barony helping to create leather bottle holders to gift at crown to remind and help people to stay hydrated at events.

Gyldenholt Anniversary was a delightful, fun event with a great turnout of Altavians. We even had our own Niko Phaistos and Ceallach mac Uilliam, a frequent visitor at our fighter practices in the finals for rapier, with Niko winning the day and becoming the new champion for Gyldenholt.

Our first Arts and Sciences class was taught by Monique, who shared her knowledge of Canning with us, and walked us through steam canning apples. It was a fun day, and we’re so excited that we have a full schedule of arts and sciences classes scheduled for the upcoming months, thanks to Edith, who has recently stepped up as A&S officer.

And of course, to end off the month, we had Coronation down in Calafia, where we were able to watch Their Royal Highness Wilhelm Skallagrimmson and Lorissa du Griffin step up as our new King and Queen, as well as field two boastful (as requested) presentations of largesse to both incoming and outgoing Royals. Thanks to the people, vervelle and horn fanfares, flags, and speeches, we think we quite nicely embodied the Altavian motto of “Theater, not Drama”

We look forward to upcoming events with our wonderful Barony

In Service to the Dream,

Baron Griffith von Bremen
Baroness Amabel Radleigh
