Greetings Ansteorrans and Dancers!
As enthusiastic people from the Known World were arranging the floor at
Pennsic for dance clearing away tables and sweeping away debris one
Ansteorran was preparing to organize dance. Meanwhile those Ansteorrans
at Pennsic where gathering en masse. Rumors had already been spread that
the Ansteorran Crown was going to make a confident display of Royalty by
making a special presentation to a member of their populous.
The Royal Progress began at the Ansteorran camp. Preceded by Their heralds
bearing the proud banners of the Kingdom, His Majesty Ulsted the Unsteady
and Her Majesty Cateau DArdennes led their subjects forth through the lands
of Pennsic in full regalia. Each member of their populous clothed in some
of their best court garb. Every witness of this regal Progress bowed low in
respect for this potent display of community and society.
As the mass of Ansteorrans appeared at the barn where dance was about to
commence, they were able to surprise Lady Lowrie Leulyn as she was
discussing which dances to prepare for with the musicians. Startled by the
gathering of Ansteorrans lead by the Crown, I think that Lowrie was slightly
dumbstruck. Suddenly, Court had been opened and the Crown was announcing
their respect for Lowrie. Her Majesty Cateau eloquently addressed her
kingdom and the lurking dancers of Lowries deeds. Swiftly, the Crown had
appeared and recognized Lady Lowrie with a Sable Thistle in the Field of
Dance. This all happening while surrounded by her peers and friends of the
Known World.
It was certainly a magical and thrilling way to begin the evening dancing.
This show of respect and commitment is greatly appreciated because the Crown
and the Kingdom went to special efforts so that this could happen.
I personally extend my gratitude to the Crown and the Kingdom for Their
support of a dancer and of the dance community.
Your Servant to Command,
Philip White
