[Ansteorra] Estrella War XX

[Ansteorra Virtual Scribe]

I am looking forward to going again. But as Morgan stated below, we really
did not see many Ansteorrans. We hunted for about 2 hours through all the
campsites looking at all the banners. We found old Ansteorran's that moved
to other kingdoms, thank god for remembering old heraldry *grin*, but no one
current.

It was not until much later while shopping that I saw one of our siege
engines and a few members. I was very happy to see them. Then later still,
yes, the towers, I found them, I went the vigil, what a vigil it was. I have
to say. It has been at least a decade since I have seen a vigil like that.
He was indeed a well loved man. :)

I hope to be at Estrella 2004, although, hubby was not very happy when he
realized that 2003 happened to fall on the weekend of Valentines just a few
days before I was to depart even though I had discussed it with him and
purchased my tickets in 2002. Men, and you think we women confuse you, sigh.
;)

And yes, I will be teaching my glove class again, already getting many
inquiries! Yes, I will be taking orders for kits this time.

: Greetings,
:  I heard there was some bit of a discussion on this list about who all
went
: to Estrella War. I must have missed the thread, but I sure haven't missed
the
: event.
:  Many of us from Seawinds have been going to this event for several years.
We
: usually bring around 6 or more people, once we fielded 10 (I think)
fighters
: under the Ansteorran banner. We've gone as a Seawinds unit at times,
however,
: in the past three years we've fought as Legio Australis.
:  If you were there at the last Estrella, you may have seen our encampment.
We
: set up with our Outlands allies and erected two 3-story wooden towers as
our
: camp entrance. I cannot say enough about the wonderful hospitality shown
to us
: over the many years by our wonderful Outlands neighbors. They welcome us
as
: long lost brothers and are very thankful for our continued support.
:  Seawinds/Legio aren't the only Ansteorrans there by any means. I've seen
: many from our Kingdom fighting in other units, such as the Fray and as
: Ansteorrans with our Crown at times.
:  The event itself is totally awesome, great battles where warriors from
: Ansteorra shine upon the battlefield through our heroic deeds. I've heard
fighters
: from other kingdoms talking about us at the days end. Ansteorrans have a
well
: earned reputation as honorable and extremely deadly opponents. I hope that
: even more will join us there next year to help keep our reputation alive &
: strong.
:  Our Outlands brothers have supported us at Gulf War, so please, let's do
our
: Kingdom proud by continuing to support them, make that extra effort to
attend
: Estrella War XX in Feb 2004.

: Wayland
: commander/Leg-Aus
: Lt. Seawinds Shire Guard

: I thought there were only six of us there - Chiara, Big Morgan, Master
Etc.
: Modius, and Their Majesties - because excepting Morgan (whom Chiara saw
: elsewhere) there were only five of us in court, and I didn't see any other
: specifically Ansteorran people there that I recall.
:
: I guessed there were more when I saw more than the two of us (Chiara and
: myself) listed on the volunteer posting post-war.  If you saw a
waterbearer
: in an Ansteorran tabard at Estrella this past year, it was one of us.
:
: I think the reason we-all didn't think the others were there is that
unlike
: last year, there wasn't a specifically Ansteorran Camp onsite.
