ANST - Estrella 99

[Dennis and Dory Grace]

Salut Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

Atenveldt and Caid have come to an agreement.  Looks like 1999 will be a
good year for wars.  The following was forwarded to the Artemisian,
Outlandish, and Calon lists.

>>> ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CROWN [ of Atenveldt ]
>>>
>>> > We, Mathghamhain and Katerina, King and Queen of Atenveldt, and Our
Heirs
>>> > TRH Douglas and Amanda, Crown Prince and Princess of Atenveldt, are
pleased
>>> > to announce We have reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Caid
about the
>>> > Estrella War and Great Western War.  This agreement was signed and
>>> > announced at Caid Coronation on June 6,1998.  We wish it known that this
>>> > agreement is the direct result of an offer extended by the Territorial
>>> > Barons and Baronesses of Atenveldt in a Letter delivered to the Crown of
>>> > Caid at the recent Potrero War.  The Letter from the Barons and the
>>> > resulting signed agreement appear below.
>>> >
>>> > LETTER FROM THE BARONAGE OF ATENVELDT UNTO THE CROWN AND KINGDOM OF CAID
>>> >
>>> > Greetings unto the Crown and Kingdom of Caid, >From the Baronage of
>>> > Atenveldt,
>>> >
>>> > Each of us share a deep sense of regret for the estrangement the
Kingdoms
>>> > of Caid and Atenveldt have suffered in recent past.  So much of our
history
>>> > and growth has come to pass with our armies locked in a struggle for
honor
>>> > and glory.  It is clear that the absence of this struggle has left
>>> > something missing in our Kingdom.   We also hold great hope that our two
>>> > Kingdoms will, once again, meet upon the same field in the spirit of
honor
>>> > and comradeship.
>>> >
>>> > The Estrella War is an event unequaled in importance to the culture of
>>> > Atenveldt.  We recognize that The Great Western War, held on the same
>>> > weekend as Estrella, has become important for Caid as well.  This schism
>>> > has prevented our traditional interaction.  Members of our populace
wish to
>>> > attend The Great Western War, but are unable to, and many of your people
>>> > are missed at Estrella each year.  We would have both of these events
be an
>>> > opportunity for our populace to share our common interests.
>>> >
>>> > In pursuit of this idea, and after careful consideration of the finite
>>> > resources of our membership and the priorities of our Kingdom, We offer
>>> > Caid the following promise:  The Baronies of The Kingdom of Atenveldt
shall
>>> > not hold Baron's War on Columbus Day Weekend, nor within 30 days
before, or
>>> > after the Saturday of Columbus day weekend.
>>> >
>>> > This offer is in expectation that Caid will move The Great Western
War to
>>> > Columbus Day weekend.  It shall be effective in 1999, and be in place
for
>>> > as long as it is Caid's pleasure to hold The Great Western War on
Columbus
>>> > Day Weekend.
>>> >
>>> > We understand the reasons that Caid departed from The Estrella War.
>>> > Atenveldt has shown, in the past, poor continuity amongst it's
leadership
>>> > at the highest level, and failed to consistently address the Concerns of
>>> > Caid at the Estrella War.  Baron's War is a popular event with important
>>> > intra-Kingdom goals of it's own that are not tampered with lightly.  As
>>> > representatives of our populace, It is our hope that this offer
>>> > communicates the depth of our commitment to see your return.
>>> >
>>> > In Service to the Crown of Atenveldt,
>>> >
>>> > Baron Robin and Baroness Penelope, Barony and Baroness of Atenveldt
>>> > Baron Lothar and Baroness Katherine, Baron and Baroness of Tir Ysgithir
>>> > Baron Padraig and Baroness Rowen, Baron and Baroness of Sun Dragon
>>> > Baron Philip and Baroness Selena, Baron and Baroness of Mons Tonitrus
>>> > Baron Dietrich and Baroness Ynez, Baron and Baroness of Twin Moons
>>> > Baron Gwylym and Baroness Gwenddwyn, Baron and Baroness of Ered Sul
>>> >
>>> >
>>> > AN AGREEMENT  BETWEEN THE SOVEREIGN REALMS OF ATENVELDT AND CAID
>>> >
>>> > Recognizing that Our realms are bound together not only by our
geographical
>>> > proximity, but by shared history, goals, and ideals, the Kingdom of Caid
>>> > enters into an agreement with the Kingdom of Atenveldt for the good of
>>> > these Kingdoms, and for the Greater Good of the Society.
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt has already included the Kingdom
of Caid
>>> > in decisions related to the evaluation of a site for Estrella War XV,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt is making the medieval aspects of
>>> > Estrella War XV (particularly the design and execution of the combat
>>> > scenarios and the arts competitions), an inter-kingdom event between the
>>> > Principal Kingdoms of Caid, the Outlands and Artemisia,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt will continue to make the medieval
>>> > aspects of Estrella War an inter-kingdom event for future Estrella Wars,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt has published all financial
aspects of
>>> > 1998's Estrella War XIV (including distribution of monies for volunteer
>>> > hours) to its Own Populace, and to the Populace of the Principal
Kingdoms,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas Kingdom of Atenveldt Law mandates that Atenveldt will
continue to
>>> > publish, regular financial information explaining all financial
aspects of
>>> > 1999's Estrella War XV (including distribution of monies for volunteer
>>> > hours) to its Own Populace, and to the Populace of the Principal
Kingdoms,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt and the Kingdom of Caid agree not to
>>> > change the agreed upon design of combat scenarios and arts competitions
>>> > defined in an Estrella War Treaty without extreme reluctance and the
full
>>> > mutual agreement of all Principal Monarchs or Their representatives,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Atenveldt and the Six Baronies of the
Kingdom of
>>> > Atenveldt have sent a written pledge to the Kingdom of Caid stating
neither
>>> > Barons War, nor any other Atenveldt sponsored War, shall be held in
>>> > Atenveldt 30 days before or 30 days after the three day weekend of
Columbus
>>> > Day,
>>> >
>>> > * Whereas the Kingdom of Caid has pledged neither Great Western War, nor
>>> > any other Caid sponsored War, shall be held 30 days before or 30 days
after
>>> > the three day weekend of Presidents Day.
>>> >
>>> > Thus do the Kingdom of Atenveldt and the Kingdom of Caid pledge to place
>>> > the Estrella War and the Great Western War on Their Respective Kingdom
>>> > Calendars and fully support participation of Their Populaces for both
>>> > events.
>>> >
>>> > Done by Our Hands, this 6th day of June, Being Anno Societatis
XXXIII, or
>>> > 1998 in the Common Reckoning.
>>> >
>>> > MATHGHAMHAIN                        RORIK
>>> > Rex Atenveldtus                          Rex Caid
>>> >
>>> > KATERINA                                  KARINA
>>> > Regina Atenveldtus                       Regina Caid
>>> >
