<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My dear friends, I, Morgan Buchanan, do bid
you greetings!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Steppes Warlord is upon us! Many will fill
the lysts to vie for the title Steppes Warlord XXXIII. Saturday will be a
glorious day of fighting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On Sunday morning, after the court in which I will
accept the accolade of Chivalry from the hands of Their Royal Majesties, I would
invite all good Kings and Princes, Dukes and Earls, Knights and Masters, Squires
and men-at-arms, soldiers of all rank and station to join me in a place to be
determined to strive joyously in passes of arms! I would face each of you
to have you test my mettle and then release you to enjoy the opportunity to
fight the best fighters our kingdom has to offer as well as the quality men and
women who will be visiting us from other lands. This will be done
immediately following court, in a place that will not disrupt the commencement
of the Steppes Rapier Championship.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I look so very forward to seeing you
all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours in loving service to Ansteorra,</FONT></DIV>
