Personal Memories

I travelled to the event with Duke Eirik and Countess Meagan (as she was then) and developed stomach flu along the way. Sunjan was sharing her felt Mongol tent with me, and I slept through most of the event. Duke Eirik became the new Kingdom Champion at that event. --Elizabeth Braidwood 14:42, 1 Aug 2006 (EDT)
