<DIV>After a long journey, from the great barony of Wiesenfeuer, our wagons crept home...safely. </DIV>
<DIV>I wish to share with you some thoughts, that greatly benefit this fine barony Bordermarch.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At Autumn Melees, not one year ago...Borderkeep was lost to a courageous and strong army. They descended upon Bordermarch like wild beasts. Valiantly they fought, keeping honor and upholding noble ideals. They did indeed take Borderkeep, and held it for all the Northern eyes to witness. Upon the following day...Allies came, friends to strengthen both banners. Much fighting and bravery took place, upon this land. Ansteorra was proud of her warriors, this day did prove the fighting prowess of heroes. They fought under different pennants, but shared the same banner of friendship. As the victors left these lands...Borderkeep was left to Bordermarch once again, to build her walls and strengthen her spirit. A Noble within the North, has been keeping his watchful eye upon her from afar. Many strong warriors are around him, many good gentle folk lovingly care for him... many jewels are found within the northern lands of this kingdom.</DIV>
<DIV>Many days pass....a Tournament is unfolding in a barony of a kind people. Many answer the call to go and support such good folk. Answering the call was a proud barony, Bordermarch. She was welcomed with open arms, and a full mug of fine Northern brew. With Bordermarch was 2 rapier warriors,1 archer and 1 poet to enter a list, a day was born of hope. Great glory was given unto Wiesenfeuer, for many warriors,bards,archers and artisans did vie to become champion. Within the finals of a rapier tournament, one of Bordermarch was still standing. His thoughts were on honor,glory and a certain prize....in a far away land. A poet, named Lily, recieved kind words of encouragement and love. Noble were they in words and deeds. As the day grew, a champion upon the rapier field stepped forward. Bordermarch now stands behind Wiesenfeuer to protect,defend and honor her wishes. A great and noble man sitting the throne of a most gracious barony...gave his champion a task. To look after his
southern estate, to care for it like it were his own. After much revelry, and great company....alas Bordermarch made their way home. Upon the return at Borderkeep, a warrior adorned with the honors of Wiesenfeuer...the gates at the castle, opened remarkably easy. Looking around, it looked most familiar. Tailors waiting for approval of cloth and fabric of a northern taste, were left unto this champion. Tapestries showing a great scene of a pack of wolves in a hunt, hang about the great hall. Eating and drinking about the hall, this champion thinks upon this....to look after this as though it were his own, was his charge. The winds of fate most assuradly smile upon Bordermarch. She now sits within Borderkeep, to defend and care for her. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The barony Wiesenfeuer gave us many fond memories... their hospitality was first class. They have been and always will be family to this barony. </DIV>
