Royal Court at String Thynge. Photo by Duchess Etheldreda Ivelchyld

On Saturday, January 13th, AS LII, Their Majesties Ivan and Matilde paid a visit to their Shire of Caer Adamant.

In the morning they held a brief court, and called for Dietrich Schwelgengräber. They were disappointed that not only could he not produce the sock they had given Dobby, but that Tsar Ivan had possession of it. The Tsar said he would hold it a bit longer, as Dietrich had a question to ponder. The companions of the Order of the Pelican were called forth. A reception would be held to celebrate Dietrich joining a second Peerage order.

After a day of all things String, their Majesties held court. The following gentles were recognized thus:

Additionally, Tsar Ivan and Tsaritsa Matilde called for Sir Thorson to run the toybox.

The Newcomers present received tokens.

Thus concluded court. Long live the Kingdom of the East!
