[Ansteorra] Legacy of Lions

[Carolle Ternus]

Sir Corwin and Ansteorra,

We're very glad you liked our tournament and our event.  There were between
40 and 50 combatants, and all did splendidly.  It's taken a few days to get
our thoughts together regarding thanks and champions and all the rest.

We want to thank the enormous event staff for working so hard to put on such
a great event.  It took the whole barony and even some folks from out of
town to help put this thing together.  We also want to thank those that
traveled from near and far to attend.  We had champions chosen from as far
south as Seawinds and as far North as Mooneschadowe.  We had combatants from
every region.

It was 30 years ago, that we were made into a barony, and it brought us joy
to share the day and tournament with you all.  Without a bunch of people
from all over Ansteorra thinking Legacy of Lions was where they wanted to
spend their weekend, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.

The event this weekend was a labor of love, our love for past tournaments
and future, for Ansteorra, for pageantry and virtue.  This is not your usual
tournament.  Being chosen as a champion has little to do with just winning
fights and much to do with panache, heroism, taking chances and reaching for
glory.

If you enjoyed Legacy of Lions, if you would like to see its like again,
write to us or this forum and let us know.

just this past weekend.
