Stories tell of heated words this past fall in the Court of King Cedric, at Baron’s Ball. Witnesses speak of Baroness Araviere of Wealdsmere accusing Baroness Stjarna of Wastekeep of stealing away her Courtiers. Baroness Stjarna was heard to say that if the Baroness of Wealdsmere could not support Her courtiers, that Great Wastekeep would lend aid to them. Tempers lit, both Great Ladies squared off before His Majesty, with strong words spoken and fur flying. Even sage advice from His Grace Duke Gunnar Brunwulf could not stem the brewing conflict between the two mighty Baronies. | Stories tell of heated words this past fall in the Court of King Cedric, at Baron’s Ball.

So does Baroness Araviere call to all good An Tirians to support Her bonds of fealty with Her Sergeantry. And so does Baroness Stjarna call to all Her Sergeantry, current and Emeritus, and all supporters in An Tir, to address Her grievance against Baroness Araviere. Thus do both aggrieved parties meet upon the lands of Lyonsmarche to settle their differences in an Honor War. | So does Baroness Araviere call to all good An Tirians to support Her bonds of fealty with Her Sergeantry.
