[Namron] [SkorragardrVirtualSkald] Forgotten Piece of Important Court Business from Protectorate

[Doug Copley]

Thank you to all the Storms and for all that you have done over many 
years. Margherita and I will do our best to live up to the tradition and 
the history of this wonderful group that we have been included in.

Thank you again for the honor and the recognition and for the very kind 
words of our great Barone Orlando and Baronessa Caterina!

YIS,
Vincenti da Murano
Margherita de Mantua
Proud members of the Order of the Heart of the Sable Storm of Namron
