Unto Mistress Xene,

Thank you for the update/report.  I'm so sorry to have missed so much!
Sounds like the Barony of Bryn Gwlad has much to be proud of (I knew that
already of course!) ;)

Sincerely,
Alessandra Desiderio
Proud Baroness of Elfsea

Congrats Ld Daniel!

>Bryn Glwad Championship, he asked their permission to speak with two
>members
>of the circle.  First, he hugged his wife, Mistress Ariella and whispered
>his question to her.  Then, he hugged Jehanne and asked her if he should do
