A Question for Everyone

[Heidi J Torres]

I'll field your question, Gio, since Gunnora's going to be off the 
airwaves for a bit.

Yes, it was Thora Sharptooth's Laurel ceremony that inspired her to do 
that.  I believe there was a write up about it in a past TI, a few years 
back.  It was an attempt to make a Laurel ceremony look as period as 
possible in the context of Thora's Scandinavian persona.  It was really 
cool, and Duke Mikael and Duchess Mikaela won much admiration for 
handling it so nicely when we sprang this on them at the last minute.  
Something along the lines of: "Do we have the text for the ceremony?" "My 
Liege, we don't need one.  We're just going to file a lawsuit against the 
Crown." "WHAT!"

It was fun.
