<DIV><FONT size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Although I fought in the heavy list on Saturday, I had to
leave site immediately upon be eliminated from it. I took my children with me
and left Ameline there to have fun on her own. Reports from her bring the
following news:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) Duke Kein is the new Steppes Warlord, having defeated Sir
Miguel in the final bout.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) The storm hit the site hard. A tornado was reported to have
touched down within 15 miles of the site. Most pavilions were brought down and
three have yet to be found. Everyone, including horses and other animals,
retreated to the safety of the main hall, along with other residents of the city
of Canton. (Horses inside the main hall, wow, it must have been a surreal
sight.) However, I've heard of no injuries due to the storm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3) Saturday evening court heard the announcement that
Centurian Theign Duncan was to join the ranks of the chivalry, and during
Sunday morning court it was made so. Vivat! Sir Duncan!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm sure we'll hear about much more when those still on site
begin to arrive back at home, but I wanted to give these few highlights for the
benefit of those who are anxious to hear any news. (Ameline did get several
photos and I should have them online much faster this time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In your service,</FONT></DIV>
