[Ansteorra] Ravensfort Artisan Equestrian Quest and Activities

[Elizabeth Crouchet]

Update. Actually I was wrong, an artist may only enter  once in either
Bardic or Artisan competition and they may only sponsor one martial
contestant, which might be themselves. So get your requests for an Artist
sponsor out now or get to work on your own entry, now!

See you all at Ravensfort Artisan!
