<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Ansteorra and well met!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Grand Tournament, Legacy of Lions, is
fast approaching! Are YOU ready!?!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In 2 and a half weeks, we shall see the
forces of the Tournament of Lions vie against the forces of the Tournee de
Lyonesse. Surely you do not want to be left out! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have received only a few Letters of Intent, and
this distresses us mightily! We are encouraging, with promises of word
fame and gifts, letters of intent more creative and beautiful than merely email,
but we are eagerly awaiting letters in that medium, also. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(Note, if you plan on mailing a physical letter in
whatever medium, do drop us an email note as well, so that we may begin to array
the forces on the sides from which they will fight. If you know of someone
who plans on fighting at the event, please direct them toward the website and a
letter of intent.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember, as Baron Godwyn and myself both belong to
the Order of the Laurel, the arts are precious to us, and we are asking that
each combatant be sponsored by an Artisan, who will give a token of their art to
us. It may be as humble as homemade bread or as exalted as calligraphy or
carving, but you may not sponsor yourself. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There will be an Arts display, from which Baron
Godwyn and myself, the Daughter of Lions and the Daughter of Lyonesse will
choose favorites and give out largesse and wordfame. The theme is
Bjornsborg and its history. Anything from the use of our colors, Argent,
Azure, and Or , to the finest wrought representations of our history, are
appropriate. There will be pumpkin carving, the best of which will be
chosen at the Baroness', pleasure. There will also be a beer, mead,
wine and cordials competition run by Baron Iago and HL Lucia, held at the
tavern. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is not your usual tournament.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is a judged tournament. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Judges you know and those you don't will watch your
fighting, your chivalry and courtesy and your comportment. Play to the
crowd, especially the ladies. Do great deeds and you will be
rewarded! However, without a letter of intent and sponsorship by an
artisan, a fighter may fight but will not be chosen as Pride or
Defender.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There will be a mace crest tournament, with prizes
made by Baron Godwyn - a Mace for the winner, an Iron Rose for the Most
Beautiful Crest and an Iron Lily for the Best Death of a Crest. You can
find more information and the rules on the website. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All who would attend, particularly as combatants,
please read carefully the words on our web pages (<A
href="http://cternus.home.texas.net/LOLhome/">http://cternus.home.texas.net/LOLhome/</A>).
We have provided, in EXHAUSTIVE detail, information about the Fees, the
Sponsorship, the Letters of Intent, the Schedule, the Fighting, the Arts and the
History of the event and our fair Barony. Remember also, that this
celebrates our 30 years as a Barony.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please come share arts, fighting, history, food,
drink and song with us!</FONT></DIV>
