Greetings,

Just arrived home from day-tripping Coronation. I'm too tired to give a
reliable, detailed account, but some of the highlights:

King Aaron & Queen Britta now sit upon the the Sable thrones!
The collesium was quite large and a magnificant spectacle. (A few photos
will follow later)

The King's Champion tourney was held as a double elimination, best 2 out of
3 with 44 fighters entering the list. Queen Britta (at the time, still
Princess) calmed herself by fighting as the bye in several rounds.
Lovely and deadly, through and through.

The final round was fought between Centurion Virgil & Lord Randal de
Kreiger.

Centurion Virgil von Augsburg emerged victorious as the new King's Champion!
(The benefit of the double elimination format was not needed, as Centurion
Virgil went undefeated on the day.)

At the stepping up court, an ambassador from a Principality on the
Australian continent was present to send well wishes to Ansteorra and to
announce that theirs is to be the newest Kingdom of the Society, effective
(I believe) March 30, 2002. Unfortunately, I could not catch the name of
their new kingdom. Calontir again sent gifts and vowed to support us at Gulf
War just as we have pledged to support them at Estrella. Sir Pendarin
brought ominous news from Ansteorra's advance intelligiance sources which
indicated that Meridies appears to be under something of a tyranical rule.
The historically friendly folk of Meridies are being forced by their
leadership to ally totally with Trimaris instead of their traditional split,
and balancing of power. If intimidation was their desire, they failed
miserably, judging from the reaction of the Ansteorran populace and fighters
in attendance. Indeed, quite the opposite, as all seemed excited and
confident in our Army of Heroes facing overwhelming numbers to liberate our
Meridian neighbors. His Majesty Aaron did then relay His faith that 1
Ansteorran knight was worth 10 of the enemy. 1 Ansteorran squire was worth
20 enemy squires, and 1 Ansteorran non-belted fighter was worth 10 of their
*squires*! The energy in the room after that, confirmed that His Majesty's
faith was shared by all and that He is soundly in tune with the populace.

I shall leave it to others to describe the feast and evening court as our
journey home was already under way. Until we meet again, fare the well,

Ld. Armand Dragonetti
Squire to Sir Galen of Bristol
