Well, we may just need to remind a new generation of Moonschadeen a bit
more of their roots.  
(May not have been present much lately, but where one was "raised"
sticks with a person -- and with a persona...)

*IF* I am physically in-Kingdom when this comes off, I certainly intend
to be there if at all possible.  (I would have several vested interests
involved...)

To Be Determined / Not Yet Fully "Set".  Classes, performance
opportunities, B-S (Bard Stuff, sillies!), consumables of several types.
Plus who knows what other wonderments...

Well, there is always the matter of cooks and sotelties...

As I will also help in whatever manner I can, from wherever I may be
physically...
<sniff> Yep, a little homesick this week, and still enjoying Aethelmearc
(for now).
