Avi and I will be there and can represent part of the Baronial Guard (or herald if other guard members are there and no other herald is)

Is there anyone who has red and black that Ulf might wear upon the field? Any one who would bear a banner of Northkeep for him, any who would herald for him? 
Northkeep this is a rare opportunity to show off a little during a tourney. If you are going to be at 30th year on Friday around 2pm please show up wearing your Northkeep pride and support your champion upon the field.

Kindly
Ian Baron

We would have the people of this Barony of Northkeep know that they have a champion to answer this summons....

Well met most honorable and worthy marshal of the lists, we Ian and Kelandra Baron and Baroness of Northkeep send unto you this missive.

Certain
it is that you have heard from many a great Barony, Shire, and Burrough who would rattle their spears and wag their tongues answering
your call. Stirring as your challenge stands and reverberates in the
words used to answer it when it is the honor of good men that is to be tested it is the stilled voice and the strong arm that oft takes the day.We have now such a reply to the challenge laid out and to all who answer it.

The Barony of Northkeep, Jewel of the North send forth a Champion to answer the summons but regrets
that our eyes shall not witness the grandeur the tourney of Champions
offers. There shall be no fan fare or great words, for if it is a fight
others seek then they shall have it. The deeds and actions of our
champion shall speak both loudly and proudly for the honor of
Northkeep. We commend unto your list as our representative Centurion
Ulf Arnfinsson. You will know him by the rampant Wolverines upon his
shield. Honor him as deserves his station as a champion of Northkeep. 

Kindly
Ian Dun Gillan  and Kelandra Carmichael
Baron an Baroness of Northkeep
Lord and Lady of Chemin Noir

Can you hear it my brothers and sisters?
That thumping you feel in your chest as much as hear?  Is it
the beating of our hearts? No, it is the distant call of the war
drums, beating out their siren's rhythm!  Never is there silence for
the fighters of Ansteorra, always is conflict just around the corner.
Rare are the moments of rest for the fighters of Ansteorra, always will
they answer the call of the drums.  There is but one way to grant rest to
an army of heroes who will let no challenge go unanswered.  SEND FORTH the CHAMPIONS! 

On
these mighty warriors’ shoulders we will willingly lay weights we would
normally ask armies to bear.  When the cost of conflict is so great that
we dare not send the army, we will send but one fighter.  Never is the
cost more high, never are the champions more needed, than when the conflict
falls between the Sable-Stared Lands themselves. 

A
challenge has been laid before the territories of this brave kingdom to be
settled on the lysts at 30th year, to prove who amongst them can summon the
greatest warrior.  What land contains within it the wisdom to choose
legends from among heroes?  What land has the cunning, guile, and wealth
to secure as their champion the greatest fighter to take the field?

So
unto every Canton, Shire, Province, and Barony, the Shadowlands does send these
words: declare your champion and prepare them for the lyst.  No
populace is too small or great to ignore the call.  Truly, it would be a
poor territory indeed that could not find a single fighter to declare for
them.  On Friday, at 2 of the clock, send forth your champion,
arrayed in the colors of your land, with herald and entourage as befits
the one who fights for your honor.  Those groups which excel in providing
for their champion and entertaining the assembled will be recognized.

Nobles
or Seneschals are asked to please send word if their group intends to enter a
champion. If need be, the champion may be named later, but the Shadowlands
would prepare for each group who enters.

Yours
in Service,
Bastian
Eisengart, L.
