Mistress Nuzha bint Saleem and Lord Andriú mac Domhnaill

Pax Interruptus

After opening the first Court of Their Excellencies Nuzha and Andriú, Ravenstongue Pursuivant Fridrikr Tomasson requested to step down from his post and presented Kadlin Sigvaldakona as his successor.  With the blessings of Nuzha and Andriú, Kadlin accepted the Baronial Herald’s tabard.

The Excellencies requested the presence of the Baronial Champions. After thanking them for their service under the previous Baron and Baroness, The Champions were then asked if they were willing to continue representing Thescorre as Champions, to which all agreed.

Their Excellencies called Lord Angus the Bull and Agnes von Zweibrucken before them. Both were commended for the extraordinary level of work they had displayed in organizing and putting together Pax Interruptus that day.  As recognition, both Angus and Agnes were presented with Raven’s Eggs.

The following gentles were asked to come before their Excellencies: Mistress Orianna Fridrikskona, Lord Torbjorn, Sir Dominic McMorland, and Baron Snorri.

Orianna reported there were 4 gentles that had entered the A&S competition: Baron Caleb Reynolds, Baroness Bronwyn nic Gregor, THL Thalia Papillon, and THL Eleanore Godwin. The winners of the competition by popular vote were: Baron Caleb Reynolds for his scroll blank for the Order of the Broche, THL Eleanore Godwin for the mini peg dolls for the Baronial Largess, and Baroness Bronwyn nic Gregor for the Kingdom medallions and pouches for the Kingdom Largess. All of the largess items and the donated scroll were delivered to Their Excellencies and Their Majesties after court.

Torbjorn named Daniel as winner of the Thrown Weapons tournament. The presented scroll was the combined efforts of Lord Angus for the words, calligraphy by Mistress Roberta McMorland, and illumination by Lady Nicole du Marais.

Sir Dominic commended Davin for his prowess on the field and declared him the winner of the day’s Heavy Weapons tournament. The presented scroll was the combined efforts of Lord Angus for the words, calligraphy by Mistress Roberta McMorland, and illumination by Lady Nicole du Marais.

Baron Snorri thanked all who attended the archery range that day and participated in the tournaments.  Gifts were presented to Simon Fjarfell as Best Youth Archer, Lord Bjarki as Best Period Archer, Duke Timothy of Arindale as Best Crossbowman, Aelfric the Kestrell as Best with Handbow, and Lord Dalibor Vilcekovsyn as Grand Champion Archer.

Their Excellencies asked THL Thalia and Baron Caleb Reynolds to come before them. Both were given the physical scrolls they had been awarded at the most recent Virtual College of Three Ravens.

Her Excellency Nuzha reminded those who had not collected a site token upon checking into Troll that day could collect one after court.

War Tokens were then presented and explained to the populace: a bangle with a mini raven-style plague mask that can be worn as a bracelet or bent to fit over a belt. Over Their term, Andriú and Nuzha will be giving out different tokens and encourage gentles to use the bangle to collect the entire set! 

There being no further business, Court was closed.

Respectfully and faithfully submitted,

Lady Kadlin Sigvaldakona

Ravenstongue Pursuivant
