Unofficial Court Report: Panteria

June 5, 2013 by East Kingdom Gazette

Panteria was intended to include the great competition for King’s and Queen’s Equestrian Champions, but weather, ever fickle, did not cooperate.

Smoking Rocks claims that Carolingia historically raided Smoking Rocks to capture its goods and once again its “gimlet eyes figure that raiding and rapine upon the land can be used to disrupt commerce and trade and Pariahs may be leveled against the Good peaceful Baroness of the now Barony of Smoking Rocks and lands seized and threatened”.

The Baron and Baroness of Carolingia have taken exception to their being depicted as having “grasping hands and greedy heart” and trying to intimidate Smoking Rocks so it will “flinch and yield to Their might and demands”. Baroness Imigla responded that the Barony has always respected all borders as part of respecting the laws of the East Kingdom, which they have sworn to uphold. In addition, Carolingia has sought to assist their neighbors whenever possible. (more…)
