Greeting Altavia<\/p>\n
January and the first part of February were busy months for the Barony. We started off hosting Queen\u2019s Champion Martial. It was an interesting day filled with ups and downs, literally. We had a few Altavians honored that day,including THL Monique with a Lux Caidis for costuming and THL Griffith with a Crescent for superior service to the kingdom. Don Nathaniel made it to the finals of rapier in which Don Ian was victorious. Dame Lynnette and Lady Bex ran a very successful fundraiser for the Kingdom and sold our Fret Knot shirts. It was the first kingdom event we had hosted in quite some time, yet it felt like we were home. The Baroness and I received many compliments regarding the barony and its people. We really do have a most friendly and welcoming populace.<\/p>\n
The next day brought Queen\u2019s Champion Ranged to our barony. Although we did not host it, it was within our borders. Mistress Cecilia, THL Cristof, Natalia and I competed in the day’s events, and we had a great time.<\/p>\n
Unbelted was the next weekend in Gyldenholt and Altavia was well represented. THL Griffith, Lord Xeres and THL Amabel fought well, and one got to the later rounds of the tourney. Chivalry and Honor were the main focus of the day. Altavians hold those ideals to a high level, and it shows. That was truly an inspiring day!<\/p>\n
Finally, we attended the Festival of the Dark Rose in Dreiburgen. So much fun and laughter amongst so much artistic talent! Lady Sybilla, her lord Sean, Lord Eadric and I learned Kubb from her Grace Kara and laughs were had by all. Cristof and Natalia got into the fun as well. THL Courtney won the people\u2019s choice arts award and Saystine won the brewing contest for her wonderfully tasty syrups. Our Baroness Briana, Dame Lynnette, and Lady Bex all performed in the bardic as well. So much fun and comradery came out of the day. I was refueled by all the SCA positive energy, and I am sure most people felt the same way. Thank you Altavia for being so utterly AWESOME!<\/p>\n
Potrero war pre-reg has been set up and THL Monique has graciously volunteered to be our camp master. Register early for the best prices. See you at war!<\/p>\n
Looking to the future, Altavia has a camp for the new Wintermist Rest Star Rapier War. Please register for the weekend\u2019s festivities and come out and enjoy the outside with us.<\/p>\n
Our Anniversary is coming up as well. We need help with the planning and execution of the events of the day. Please help in any way you can. It looks like it is going to be a GREAT DAY!<\/p>\n
To all Altavians and Altavian adjacent friends, I thank you for being so much fun and loving. See you all at an event soon!<\/p>\n
In Service,<\/p>\n
