[Bryn-gwlad] FW: The Memory of the Mustache War Lives On

[Susan Froebel]

Information from Johann von Graustein, former Baron of Bryn Gwlad.  For those new to the Barony, the "Robbie" mentioned is Don Robert Simonn Fraser, Johann's predecessor as Baron of Bryn Gwlad.  [Since Baron Johann doesn't subscribe to the list, I send him items in which I think he or Baroness Erika will have interest.]

Hmm... The war was originally cooked up by Robbie and Robin; I just kinda inherited it. It was originally about Don Blayne's mustache, ya know. He had that magnificent handlebar that Robin said infringed on his badge. My having a respectable mustache was just icing on the cake, and Robin expanded his "attack" to include all the mustaches of Bryn Gwlad. (And yes, the exchange mentioned below did happen at least once after war had become inevitable, although I doubt anyone remembers the actual words used. But this is close enough.)

CC cookies weren't only the prize -- winner take all although we shared with the losers of course -- but also the coin of choice for hiring mercenaries. Bryn Gwlad had barrels of them. Literally barrels.
