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. With the good health and well-being of both the people and the horses who intended to participate firmly in Their minds, Their Majesties chose to postpone this challenge until Their Northern Region War Camp.

Royal Court did not mind so much the weather, held nestled indoors, and so that I can report to you. I have been told that there was a presentation made by the people of Panther Vale, and that Harold von Auerbach swore his fealty there as well. And as well there where awards made from Their Majesties unto some gentles present despite the weather’s state. (more…)

Smoking Rocks Accuses Carolingia of Intimidation

June 5, 2013 by East Kingdom Gazette

Fergus and Imigla — Baron Fergus and Baroness Imigla of Carolingia

The event announcement for the upcoming Cohasset Wars contains harsh words from Smoking Rocks to Carolingia. 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…)

Tournement Results: Archery Champions

June 2, 2013 by East Kingdom Gazette

On Saturday, June 1, 2013, the outgoing Royal Archery Champions of the East ran a devious (some would say “despicable”) tournament to determine their successors. The Queen’s Champion, Master Philip Reed the Facetious, created 11 novelty shoots, providing a full day of challenging and fun archery for all the competitors. The King’s Champion, Lord Nathaniel Wyatt, designed the head-to-head elimination shoot for the 16 finalists, which involved shooting “minions” which were attacking Queen Kienna; harming the queen in the process led to instant elimination.

At the end of the long day, the tournament winner and new Queen’s Archery Champion was Baron Krakken Gnashbone. He prevailed over Lord Orvar, who was declared the new King’s Champion. Both Champions are from the Barony Beyond the Mountain. (more…)
