[Ansteorra] Coronation

[Arabella de Montacute]

Greetings to the Kingdom,
This last weekend we witnessed the Coronation of our newest King and Queen.  This was the most different and entertaining and emotionally moving Coronation I've seen in a long time.

Our new King and Queen are Bards!!!   It will be a great 6 months.

I will try never to miss a court. - HL Arabella



>>         The snow keeps coming down outside, coating the world.

>>         It is the color of purity. It softens the contours, and makes the mundane world beautiful. It makes the children excited, makes them want to go out and play. It is rain made graceful. I think most would agree that, of all weathers, snow is the one that most often gives a sense of wonder.
>>         As a child living in Atenveldt, as an adult living in the
>> Outlands, it always made me feel safe, snug and warm, protected. I felt as if the Gods themselves had bundled me up in a blanket. It makes me feel that way still.
>>         Snow is a seldom thing in the Steppes.

>>         Yesterday, the Steppes held a Coronation. There was a new King and Queen, a new Pelican, a new Laurel. There was purity, beauty and grace, excitement and wonder. Many were the messages of love, honor and respect. Many were the pledges of protection.
>>         Yesterday, in a darkened hall, Miguel and Conal stepped into the light, and Ansteorra was changed.
>>         Today, the Steppes is covered in snow. It is pure, beautiful and graceful, exciting and wonderful. The Gods whom we love, honor, and respect, have wrapped us in a blanket of protection. This morning, the dark and brooding clouds opened up, and turned the Steppes into a place of pure white.
>>         And Ansteorra is changed.
>>
>>         I find it very appropriate.

>> In Joyful Service,
