<br>Unto Her Grace Willow de Wisp does Sior Tomás Niállagáin send warm greetings.<br><br> Your Grace,<br>I am most excited to see you sponsoring a dance Competition at Elfsea Defender. However, I do have a few questions for your consideration. Is this 'Titled' competition actually to be a titled champion of our barony? If so, have Their Excellencies and the baronial candidates agreed to making this a titled competition? Your Grace, unfortunately the title "Pearl of Elfsea" is already in use. Many years ago, the Barony created the award of the Azure Pearl of Elfsea. Lord Diryck Stanley, (oft called the Just) and I were installed as the Premier holders of the award. I am proud to be a holder of this award, and as such would hope that you seek another name for this fine dancer, to avoid confusion within and outside of the barony. I am certain that Nautilus Pursuivant would be pleased to assist you in determining a more suitable title.
<br><br>I look forward to the competition and your response. I remain,<br><br>ever in service,<br><br>Sior Tomás<br><br><br><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/6/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:willowdewisp@juno.com">
