As Birka is fast approaching I’d like to remind everyone that there will be a scroll display from 10am-4pm in a room located on the mezzanine above the concierge. Please bring Finished Estrella War scrolls, award scrolls, as well as your portfolios to display. All award scrolls and portfolios must be picked up at least 30 minutes before the close of the display.

We are still looking for a few volunteers to help watch the Scroll Display through out the day. If you are able to give an hour or two of your time to watch the display and greet the visitors coming in to see it please contact me. I will have cookies and chocolate 🙂

Thank you all in advance for the contribution of your time and talent.

Yours in service,
Lady Lada Monguligin

Greetings, Noble Populace of the East!

As you may have heard, there will be many Royals (including, we hope, TRM and TRH AEthelmearc, TRM Trimaris and TRM Acre) visiting us from Foreign lands at the upcoming Market Day at Birka XXIV being held January 25th and 26th in the mighty Barony of Stonemarche (Manchester, NH).

With so many illustrious Royal guests, it would be right and proper to make sure the Royal Room is well guarded so that our guests feel that they and their belongings are secure.

If you are of a mind to help in this endeavor, please sign up for a shift (or two).

If you would like to sign up as a group (e.g. Shire, Barony, Household), please feel free to put your group’s name in both signup slots for that hour.  Please also feel free to sign up for multiple times, should you be inspired to do so.

Please send any questions to Lord Matthias Grunwald, Captain of the Guard.
