Court Report of Their Storm Highnesses Tir Righ, Prince Ulf and Amira Celdae, as witnessed by Their Excellencies, Baron Harold Devin and Baroness Aurora of Lions Gate, and Baron James and Baroness Glynis of Seagirt.

Her Highness Amira Celdae presented the following gentles with gifts of thanks for their scribal contributions during Their Highnesses' reign:

Aelana Cordovera
Werburg of Wenlock
Isobel fitz Gilbert

On behalf of Their Majesties King Gunnarr and Queen Gabriell, let it be known to all that this day, Prince Ulf and Amira Celdae presented the following:

Aruk Thorsvenson (Lions Gate) - Award of Arms
Isobel the Innocent (Lions Gate) - Goutte de Sang
These awards were accepted by the Baron and Baroness of Lions Gate.

On behalf of Their Majesties King Skapti and Queen Asa, Strength and Beauty of An Tir, Prince Ulf and Amira Celdae presented:

Kaos (Eisenmarche?) - Jambe de Lion
This award too was accepted by the Baron and Baroness of Lions Gate.

Their Highnesses Prince Ulf and Amira Celdae deemed the following gentles worthy of honour:

Sorcha di Steffano (Lions Gate) - Award of Arms
which was also accepted by the Baron and Baroness of Lions Gate
Dairmuid Ceolmhor (Lions Gate) - Award of Arms

Their Highnesses offer Their congratulations to all award receipents.

Amira Celdae called upon Baron James of Seagirt to account for yet again another memory lapse in forgetting to wear his hot pink Retinue tassle! Baron James proceded to blame his lovely Baroness for his absent mindedness, which Her Excellency Glynis made clear to all the populace gathered, "It's not my problem James". Amira Celdae bade James to remember, even though he is "James", he is a good herald. A tassle in the colours of Tir Righ was placed into the hands of His Excellency, with a silver fox pendant attached, as Baron James is such a foxy herald.

Our lotus Amira told one and all that one of the joys of Her reign was to honour gentles who displayed exemplary chivalry and noble service. Young Zarab (Seagirt) is an example of such noble behaviour, being of a very young age, recent Boffer Champion, and offered good service to Their Excellencies of Seagirt. Zarab was presented a feather as token of his good service. Even in cyber-space, honour and chivalry are codes to be respected. Amira Celdae reminded the populace that She wishes us to take note of the standards of chivalry, even on Tir Righ's electronic email list, The Northern Road. Lord Wade of Many Places (Lions Gate), was honoured in absentia for his diplomacy, thoughtfulness, ability to reason, and to work with both sides to find a peaceful resolution. Baron Harold Devin and Baroness Aurora received the feather in his stead.

The Shire of Shittimwoode (and bunnies) are continually being sung praises in the ears of the Storm Prince and Amira as being so helpful, polite and just such nice people at any event they travel to. A fine lithograph of a medieval tapestry was presented to representatives of the Shire of Shittimwoode.

As of June 16th, Tir Righ as a Principality shall be one year old! Amira Celdae honoured those gentles whose hardwork and dedication brought the beautiful Principality we call Tir Righ to fruition. Letters of gratitude were presented to:

Rory Woulfe of Kildare
Einar Clan
Isabeau the Innocent
Rochanda of Locksley
John MacAndrew
Pierce O'Briain
Morweena of House Desdecardo
Sunjan Temujin
Cushag an Ellan Vannin

Another of the pleasures of the Princess is to award tokens of favour to those who served Her well during her Reign.

Her Ladyship Johanna Katarina Morgenstochter beaded the wonderful and astounding award necklaces for two Principality reigns, with no two necklaces being the same. HL Johanna provided these necklaces for the Principality sometimes out of her own pocket. Johanna was presented with a Princess' Talon of Favour for her services. This is Johanna's second Princess' Talon of Favour.

Lord Ming Lum Pee provided his steadfast service as Guard to Their Highnesses. Lord Ming is kind, gentle and always looking the part as Guard. For this service, he too received a Princess' Talon of Favour.

Quentin d'Or of Shittemwoode was gratefully acknowledged by Her Highness for his dedication and talent as court herald to Their Highnesses of Tir Righ, being of cheerful disposition and lending unflinching assistance to Her Highness with updating changes and finding things on the Tir Righ website, as well as putting up the new one, and making communication easier between Their Highnesses and Their officers. For this, His Lordship Quentin d'Or was awarded a Princess Talon of Favour.

Her Ladyship Yolande Chastellian is the epitome of joyous and dedicated service personified. As Head Lady-in-Waiting to Their Highnesses, her sense of duty and honourable service have been second to none. Yolande was indispensible as Head Lady-in-Waiting. She was the brains, she whipped the Retinue into shape, and was an incredibly hard worker. Yolande was so wonderful as a support during Amira Celdae's reign that She could not have reigned so well without Yolande's generous and steadfast help. Amira Celdae wept tears of gratitude as She explained to those gathered of how much HL Yolande was absolutely instrumental in such a successful reign for Their Highnesses. During Estrella War, Yolande coveted a beautiful silver pendant with a carved carnelian rose. Her Highness sent Yolande on an errand, and purchased the pendant for Her Ladyship and presented it to her today as a personal token of immense thanks and gratitude for her service and devotion. A Princess' Talon of Favour was also bestowed on this well deserving lady, as her time given to the Retinue was equal to the amount of time given by Their Highnesses to Tir Righ. Amira Celdae says that to reign, one must have a Head Lady-in-Waiting such as Her Ladyship Yolande Chastellian.

His Lordship Quentin d'Or (the ether-bunny of Tir Righ) approached and mentioned that HL Yolande Chastellian is his right-hand support for the Order of Precedence. Yolande has kept everything on track with her keen sense of detail. HL Quentin is deeply grateful for Yolande's hardwork in keeping track of all awards given in this fair Principality. Yolande is truly in service to the Dream.

Yours In Service,

Royal Secretary to Their Highnesses Tir Righ, Ulf and Celdae
Deputy A&S Minister Principality of Tir Righ
