Hello Altavia and Happy Turkey Month!<\/p>\n
The end of October was a busy time for the barony with one of our favorite events of the year, Agincourt Archery Tournament and Feast! We had lovely weather for the tourney at Woodley and a small but mighty crowd! His Majesty Adam was in attendance at the tourney and awarded Marianna Lightwood her award of arms\u2026congrats Lady Marianna! We had a fun but challenging archery competition set up by Christof and won by Master Daffyd ap Thomas, congratulations! Over on Thrown Weapons, Cecilia set up a fun mushroom-based throw and Lady Sibylla strong-armed the competition to become our Thrown Weapons champion for the year. Thank you to Cecila, Christof, Pagnus, Tezar (Lists), Elle (Gate), Lynnette (Gate and Auction), Natalia (Auction and Fretted Fork), and our set up\/tear down crew of Monique, Cassandra, Anne, and Giachino for all your help at the tourney!<\/p>\n
That evening saw the return of the Agincourt feast and it was a wonderful meal and event. Many, many kudos to our cooks, Matlens and Giovanni, for a very tasty meal under some challenging circumstances! Thank you to Meliora and Eadric for helping out in the kitchen to make sure the cooks had the support they needed, to Lynnette for wrangling our servers and to Sibylla for running the logistics for the evening. During the feast, a brief court was held with His Majesty and Eadric was added to the Order of the Crescent for his cheerful service throughout the Kingdom. Congrats, Your Lordship! Thank you to everyone who joined us, including our Cousins Driebergen, for food, dancing, performances, and the surprisingly efficient clean up at the end of the evening. Special shout-outs to Xerus and Saystine for transporting and doing the bulk of the dishes in our \u201csatellite location\u201d \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n
The next weekend saw an Altavian contingent head out to Dreibergen\u2019s Rocky Horror-themed anniversary event\u2026.SO MUCH FUN. Thank you to all who joined us in the dragonwing and congratulations to our dear Baron for being part of the winning final team in the Rapier lists!<\/p>\n
This past weekend, a small contingent travelled down to Calafia for their Anniversary where we saw Baroness Danyel invited to join the Order of the Pelican, spoke to Master Oliver for his vigil for the Pelican and then ate some really good BBQ after the event. It\u2019s a long trip, but always a lovely event.<\/p>\n
The rest of November is going to be busy, busy, busy with Naevehjem Anniversary and Investiture this weekend, Isles Anniversary and the Laurelling of Master Todde next weekend, and then Medieval Marketplace the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There will be Altavian presence at all of these events, so please feel free to join us in the wing or designated pop-up \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n
Finally, Yule is almost here\u2026yay! Please join us for a planning meeting this Thursday and start thinking about what you want to bring to share on the potluck table. Also, now would be a great time to get your baronial award recommendation letters in so we can honor all our wonderful Altavians!<\/p>\n
His Excellency and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families, either by blood or by choice, and know that we are very thankful to have all of you in our lives!<\/p>\n
Yours in Service to the Dream,<\/p>\n
Baron Nikolaos Phaistos<\/p>\n
Baroness Briana MacCabe<\/p>\n
