With such talented artisans as this We are sure that Our Barony will remain well fed, well clothed, and well equipped for many years to come. Wassail!
It was Our joy to witness Skraels receive recognition from the hands of Their Royal Majesties. We wish to congratulate The Honourable Lady Constance of Caldrithig on joining the Order of the Crucible, The Honourable Lady Alais de Poitiers on receiving the Award of the Maiden’s Heart, Lady Morag Taylor on receiving the award of the Orion, and Alana the Quiet and Seraphina the Quick on each receiving on an Award of the Wolf’s Cub. We are so very proud of all of you.
We were also overjoyed to present Sophie of Caldrithig and Tanneken of the Meadows with Bunny Tails and welcome them to Our Court.
We always love hearing about the good things people are doing in this Barony. We would encourage anyone who feels a gentle is deserving of an award, either Kingdom or Baronial, to please write them in. Skraeling Althing has an online form here, and the Ealdormere form is here.
We look forward to renewing Our vows of fealty at the Coronation of Duke Nigel MacFarlane and Duchess Adrielle Kerrec, Prince and Princess of Ealdormere, in the Barony of Rising Waters and hope to see many of Our people in attendance.
In Service,
Shahid and Catherine
Baron and Baroness of Skraeling Althing
