[Ansteorra-announce] Battle of Three Kings

[Wes Hanna]

Unto the mighty warriors, dedicated workers, and talented artisans and bards of Ansteorra, do I, Hugh de Revel, Grand Master of the Order of the Hospitallers send greetings.

Brothers and sisters, I am in dire need of your service here in Acre, my order is facing an urgent and most regrettable situation. The other orders, Templar and Teutonic, have been vying for control of this stronghold, and even though talks of a truce have begun, I fear this conflict is far from over. The Hospitallers have always been more peaceably minded, our first goal tending to the sick and poor, but if we do not gain supporters in this struggle, I fear that we may be expelled from Acre to abandon the good works that we do there.

So I beseech you, travel to Acre on the 4th day of November and join our side in the Tournament of the Cross (http://rosenfeld.ansteorra.org/indextournamentofthecross.php ). We need warriors, archers, siege crews, artisans, bards and support staff to help ensure that the Hospitalers stand strong in the struggle for dominance in Acre, and therefore all of the Holy Land. I hope that this conflict can be resolved peacefully, but should it come to battle, I need the might of Ansteorra at my back.

If you would join with us, please send word to our quartermaster ( http://goodguyswearblack.info/ ) so that we can be sure to equip you with the ensign of our order that all may know that you fight with the Hospitallers.

In your debt,
Hugh de Revel
Grand Master of the Hospital
(aka Master Kainin)
