<p class="MsoNormal">First a word of business.<span style="">
</span>I, Señor Lorenzo Martín will be handling the lost and found.<span style=""> </span>If you seem to have lost something of
importance, I may have it.<span style=""> </span>Contact me
via email at <a href="mailto:jimcouch@gmail.com">jimcouch@gmail.com</a> and I will be happy to try to locate it.<span style=""> </span>Please be descriptive about the items so that
I can recognize it as yours. <br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Lady Melina and I would like to thank those of you that
braved virus' outbreaks and uncertain weather to attend Protectorate XXXIII
this weekend.<span style=""> </span>We were fortunate in that
Their Majesties saw fit to bless the event with beautiful weather.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> There was much fighting on the battlefields as sword and
shield met round after round.<span style=""> </span>At the end
of the day it was Sir Cassius Domitius Lepus that bested them all and was named
the Protector of Namron.<span style=""> </span>The rapier
field was filled with battles of its own.<span style="">
</span>Warder Christoph fended off many a gallant fighter in order to become
Namrons newest Rapier Champion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The Ansteorran SUMO tournament was just as fierce.<span style=""> </span>Sweaty shirtless unarmed beasts took the ring
in the bitter cold of night and the testosterone flowed.<span style=""> </span>Graciously, Prince Owen agreed to fight in
place of Lord Pukhta Lovtsevich<span style=""> </span>(who had
a wardrobe malfunction).<span style=""> </span>In the last
round, Prince Owen was scheduled to face Prince Owen (fighting in place of
Pookey) and it was decided to forgo the unusual battle, and crown His Highness
SUMO Champion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> But seriously, this was a very fun event and there are so
many people that need to be thanked for their hard work.<span style=""> </span>We have covered many of them personally.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>I wanted to take a moment formally thank:</p>
<ul><li>The crews that helped set up and tear down. </li><li>The feast and tavern crew that seemed to keep every one full
from start to finish. </li><li>Honorable Lady Nicolea for stepping in and preparing a lunch
for the royals. </li><li>Lord Orlando Di Gilead for waking up early Sunday morning
and preparing the omlettes and other what nots. </li><li>The Centurion Shot bar for helping us to raise funds for
Their Highnesses.</li><li>The others that volunteered your time from play, in order to
make things run so smoothly. </li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"> You were all much appreciated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Hasta otra vez (psst, until the next time)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Señor Lorenzo Martín</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><Please feel free to cross post.>
