Event Highlights

At Court Phelan Tolusmidr announced his intention to undertake the Trials of Sergeantry.

Nearly thirty years ago did settle a spark on these lands, the whisper of a Dream. Peoples of stout heart and wise vision took up that spark, and with bold breath blew life into it. Thus a light was born that was called Wastekeep, and its flames were given to the care of Master Sir Dyon and Mistress Catriona. Sixteen long years did Dyon’s sword keep fair Wastekeep safe, while Catriona held dear that small flame from the wind and rains. At long last they passed those charges to their heirs, Ulrik and Meghan. For six years these lands flourished under their cares, and wide did spread the name of Wastekeep. Their labors done, they in turn passed that bright spark to Arthur and Rowena, who hold it safe to this day. Soon shall the name Wastekeep be borne on new heirs - Sir Styrkaar and Stjarna. May the name Wastekeep always burn bright!

Yet not alone did their Excellencies Wastekeep stand against the dark and cold – for the lands have always been populated by strong and willing hearts. To the banner of the Baron did many a strong arm rally, and the word-fame of their deeds is well known. And unto themselves did the Baronesses gather a cadre of warriors, artisans, and courtiers; these few would be her guard and advisors, to help her carry and shield that spark long held dear. These, her Sergeants, were of noble stock and deed, and far did the light of their charge shine!

So bright shone the light of Wastekeep that the Sable Throne itself took notice. Four have been the barons and baronesses of Wastekeep that themselves were of the Sergeantry. From its ranks did cheer the Sergeantry its brothers as they ascended to Peerage, and well did shake the enemies of An Tir at their coming! Loud pealed the names of Aaron, Gunnar, Miles, Rolf, Jorg, Daegar, Balthazar, Sven, Heindric, Styrkarr, Tiernan, Cedric, and Mischka as each took their place at the side of the Sable Throne, and four upon it!

Yet thin have stretched the ranks of Wastekeep’s Sergeants, as many have ascended into service to the Crown of An Tir. I would challenge each person here to step forward and give of themselves to the service of their Baroness. I, Phelan Tolusmidr, do hereby announce my intention to undertake the trials of Sergeantry to become an Artisan of Wastekeep.
