[Ansteorra-announce] Stargate Yule (12/11/04)

[isabeauq]

The year is 1536.  In an amazing act of felicity, Cosimo I di 
Medici and Filippo Strozzi have set aside their differences in 
order to welcome you to a celebration at the Villa Torrigiani in 
the beautiful hills of Tuscany. Can these two former allies lay 
aside their animosity for even one day of festivities or will 
Italy’s two greatest foes seek advantage at a gathering of the 
world’s most powerful nobles?  Only one way to find out – come to 
Stagate Yule December 11, 2004.

The day promises to be filled with excitement (and no doubt 
rivalry) as these two foes vie for the support of the gathered 
merrymakers.  We promise to do our best to keep the peace and 
promote goodwill so that all gathered will be able to enjoy the 
day’s festivities.  Come join us for a day of good cheer and 
merryment.
