On the 9th of March A.S. LIII, known in the Common Era as 2019 a bright and clear day did dawn. Their Majesties East, Wilhelm and Vienna, did send Their Own Herald to the new barony of Buckland Cross, for while They could not personally be in attendance at al-Hafla, They had business that must be attended to there.

The Baron and Baroness of Buckland Cross, Baron Aurddeilen-ap-Robet and Baroness Sigridh Bengstdotter, did hold their court that day amid the music, dancing and fine foods. And it was with the authority given to them by King Wilhelm and Queen Vienna, that they did bade the herald to open a Royal Court and call forward one Yāsamīn al-Sardaniya called Jaz. She was this great event’s own Steward, and in fact, had been the Event Steward for the Investiture of Buckland Cross – which Their Majesties, Wilhelm and Vienna had attended, and much enjoyed. And so it was that Yāsamīn al-Sardaniya was bestowed a well-deserved Burdened Tyger.
These are the events as I recall them unfolding before me.
Yours In Service,

For the past five years the Westernmost Shire of the Southern Region has been getting together and holding an event known as Shire Wars. This year things are little different, in that more Shires and the Barony of Bhakail have joined the event to make it even larger. This year this Shires of Montevale, Blak Rose, Owlsherst, Silver Rylle, Hartshorn-Dale, Buckland Cross, and Archer’s Ford (incipient) have joined up to challenge Bhakail and any ally she may bring to a David vs Goliath type themed event. But who is David and who is Goliath? Well, that is for you, the Good People of the East Kingdom, to find out by coming to the event. Root for your favorite side or join that side, whichever you prefer. But, wait! There have been rumors that invasion may happen from the South and from the West, since the Southern region is engaged with itself and not protecting the Southern and South Western Boarders. For this reason, their Highnesses, rightful heirs to the Crown, are coming to this event to find out what is going on and further help protect this great Kingdom. Will there be battle between the Shires and Bhakail, or will there be a raid where Bhakail and the Shires join forces behind their King and push back the invaders?
The Shire of Buckland Cross cordially invites you to the fair lands of Lower Bucks County, Pa, for a day of knowledge and fun at our Mad Medieval Science Fair on November 2, 2013. There’s still plenty of time to consider a display or entry – we hope you can join us!
