> Greetings,
> This Moonshadowe Guardian was an outstanding event. Although quite hot

> their best for all of those who attended.
>
> The fighting was heroic as the boldest of Ansteorran warriors battled
> against the Calontiri and themselves for the title of Guardian. Chivalrous
> acts abounded as noble fighters all did their best but alas Calontir took
> home once more the title of Guardian.
> The A&S was filled with wonderful items from all over the north and
> Calontir. Artisans and craftsfolk showed items of exceptional skill. The
> Calon artisans brought with them items of such beauty that they took that
> competition as well.
> The Bardic was filled with amazing tales, heart moving songs, and poems.
> Although the Ansteorrans did place well it was still a Calon who won.
> The archery and other missile competitions were fierce. Arrows, axes,
> spears, and knives flew with accuracy toward their marks. It was Ansteorra
> who won the day among the archers but fell short in the other missile
> competitions.
> The Ensignante list was filled with rapier fighters who did well at
meeting
> the many challenges of the days tourney. Among them Ansteorra's first Don,
> and newest fighters. In the end it was Northkeep's own Shay who took the
> title and saved the Ansteorran rapier fighters from defeat at the hands of
> the Calons.

> The competitions were not all the event offered food fit for the grandest
of
> kings, friendship enough to fill the longs hours with good company and
> camaraderie, and also some very memorable occurrences. Such as Richard and
> Angus wrestling, Kate and Niki playing with Hawkins (or as they called him
> Hawkie-Pawkie), The surprise elevation of Viggen to the status of
Centurion
> of the Sable Star of Ansteorra, and the number of friends and family
> gathered with Owen to celebrate his vigil and knighthood. These
occurrences
> were truly memorable, but they were not the least of the items that made
> memories of the event.  This was the largest individual group held event
in
> the Northern Region since 1997 with over 350 people on site. This was the
> first moonshadowe event where a peer was elevated on Moonshadowe soil.
> Also Moonshadowe presented a request to the crown to be elevated to the
> staus of a Provice. The crown approved and now they will move on to an
> offical polling and then send off a petition to the BOD. If approved that
> would make Moonshadowe the first ever Provice in Ansteorra.
>
> I for one wish to thank Moonshadowe and everyone who put so much hard work
> into the event. I hope that news of the quality of their event reaches out
> to the farthest corners of our kingdom and those of our neighbors so that
> next years guardian will be just as good or better.
