[Ravensfort] Request for Coronation (artisans!)

[charlotte epps]

Dear most excellent DSD

A simple round of the Baronial device???  Easy! Not a problem!  We can even
turn it into a class on banner making!
All we have to do is pick a date.  Maybe the June Populace?

Gwynn

PS: have you talked to Baron Fritz about filling the decoration needs with a
certain tablecloth?
