A&S Challenge:

In anticipation of our Baronial Investiture in July at Pax, our A&S Minister would like to issue three challenges:
1. An item that incorporates the Baronial colors (blue, black, white) and/or the ravens
2. Six items that can be given by Their in-coming Excellencies as largess that incorporates the Baronial colors and/or ravens; these should be generally small items that can be put into a gift basket or handed out at Their Excellencies’ whim
3. Six items of largess, similar in concept as above, that incorporate the Kingdom colors (red, white, yellow/gold) and/or the escarbuncle that can be gifted to Their Majesties
These items will be on display at Pax, with potential prizes 🙂
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions!
