Bright and early in the morning on April 6th A.S. LIII, known in the common era as 2019 Their Majesties Wilhelm and Vienna arrived at the Coronation of Their successors, Ozurr and Fortune. Before the Coronation ceremony it’s self would begin, They had some final awards and accolades to bestow, and so Their Final Court began not long after They arrived.
The very first name the herald called that day was Anne De Basillon. She was brought forward by an honor guard, and as she knelt before her King and Queen, King Wilhelm teased her that this last year was like 1000 quests for her. He then urged her to be quiet and listen, which she finally did, as a scroll, which had been written by The King himself and made by Katherine Stanhope, was read. This scroll spoke of her many fine qualities and named her a Baroness of the Court. Then she was given both a long term loan of Baroness Maria von Ossenheim’s personal coronet, and a leather battle coronet made just for her.
Next the Queen called for Malcolm, Brigantia Herald of the East, for he had business with the court. Once he had come forward, he turned and called for Theodora Bryennissa, called Treannah and Wulfgar Silfrahárr to come before their King and Queen. Once they were standing before Wilhelm and Vienna, The Queen took Treannah’s hand and spoke of their long history together, of how young She had been when they first met, and how glad She was that Treannah had been Their herald, and asked that she accept the Queen’s Cypher, which Treannah most gladly did. The King then addressed both Treannah and Wulfgar, and spoke about how they may have come to this reign as Vienna’s friends, but how now He counted them among His as well, and He asked Wulfgar to accept His Cypher, which he gladly did.
