Event Highlights

On Saturday evening, Sir Daniel hosted an honor dinner to discuss the knightly virtues. The number of people in attendance was stated by Daniel to be at least five times as many as had ever been in attendance before. A potluck feast ensued, with dishes contributed by each household, and featuring a whole roast lamb offered by Earl Edward Ian Anderson.

Following the dinner, the White Lions of An Tir hosted a party in celebration of their goal of winning three consecutive An Tir/West Wars. According to Earl Edward, the true measure was whether we won by using superior tactics and war training, and in his estimation, we have done so.
