We would like to take this opportunity to share our views on the questions posed by Master Richard. Ever mindful that the decision to move forward in Elfsea is entirely at the prerogative of Their Royal Highnesses, everyone in the Barony should share views and insights with the Coronet that they may be better equipped to make sound and just decisions. <br>
<br>
Elfsea is a land of people who consistently rise up to meet challenges set before them. Elfsea has time and again done that which others thought to be impossible. We believe that not only can Elfsea "pull off" an investiture at Defender but we can do it with panache. Defender is already set to be an event like none other in Ansteorran history, it would be very fitting that we bring forward our new Landed Noble(s) and invest them with the coronets of Elfsea, that they may move forward, leading Elfsea on to even greater things. <br>
<br>
Should Their Highnesses decide that Defender is not appropriate then certainly an investiture for Elfsea should only happen at an Elfsea event. Our second choice is for the Barony to host another Investiture Event in November.<br>
<br>
As for preparation time, we believe that any of the prospective candidates have certainly begun contemplating the "what if?" scenarios, setting the ground work that could be built upon should the Crown call them to serve.<br>
<br>
Life is good in Elfsea, and new Landed Nobility at Elfsea Defender XXV would be a fitting tribute to the strength and history of the Barony of Elfsea, and the Kingdom of Ansteorra.<br>
<br>
In Service to Ansteorra and Elfsea,<br>
<br>
Lord Tomas Niallagain and Honorable Lady Rixende de Rouen<br>
