Three cheers for all these worthies!

Briaroak Bash

Greetings All!

These are the tidings from Briaroak Bash, on the weekend of August 1st through 3rd, A.S. 43.

A Buy a Life Tourney was held, to raise money for the Grimmarr Medical-expense fund. Several "games" were also held to support the fund. Lord Grimmulf Harthfari won the tournament with the most lives, at 17. His Highness Gustav won for most ribbons bought (by him or on his behalf). The two winners each recieved a prize of a handmade weapon from the shire of Briaroak. The grand total of money raised for Grimmarr was approx. $282.

There was a tournament to pick the new defender of Briaroak; the three semi-finalists in the tourney were Viscount Kathal Blauraga, Lord Grimmulf Harthfari, and Viscount William Geoffrey the Rogue who competed in an armored footrace. Kathal Blauraga then bested Grimmulf in the final bout of fighting, and was invested as the new Defender of Briaroak by the outgoing defender, Cian Brutus'syn.

At the court of His Highness Gustav, His Highness conducted the following business.

His Highness called forth anyone for whom it was their first event, and greeted them. His Highness asked everyone present to make them feel welcome, and to treat the newcomers better than they would Their Prince, as they are the future of our Society.

His Highness bestowed the following awards:

Herodocles (Adiantum)- Award of Arms

Ryska (Briaroak) - Award of Arms

The autocrats, Cian and Ryska, conducted business. They presented His Highness with several baskets of Largesse from the people of Briaroak, for Their Highnesses to distribute during their travels. His Highness was also presented with two special necklaces made by Amie Dudley, for himself and for Her Highness Sofia to wear.

His Highness Gustav & Their Excellencies Tadgh & Morrghan of Adiantum each presented the autocrats with baskets of gifties and their thank-you's for putting on the Bash.

Sir Beringar made an announcement about the upcoming event that he is autocratting, Lebus VIII, which is the weekend of Aug 8-10, at North Albany Park.

After the end of court, various members of the shire of Briaroak were given different tokens of recognition for their hard work by the shire, including the Zeal award.

Three cheers for all these worthies!

And many thanks to His Excellency Tadhg of Adiantum for heralding court (with a sinus headache no less!)

yours in service, Mathilde Haðebyr
