[Ravensfort] Fwd: [Ansteorra] The Legacy of Lions - Thank you from the Baron and Baroness

[HerrDetlef]

I'm forwarding this along to the Raven's Fort list as a way of sending
Seigneur Lemoine de Gascoigne his propers.

Legacy of Lions was an enchanting event! I got a chance to do some really
fun voice heraldry, including a stint where I heralded for wabbits (be vewy,
vewy quiet...). OMG OMG OMG....I actually met Master Orm Skoldbidig (if you
don't know who I'm talking about, look him up on the Ansteorran OP.

WOW WOW!) Their Majesties indulged me in a little persona-playing that left
me with tears in my eyes (and NO, nobody got smacked in the face with any
gloves!), and I will treasure that experience for ever.

Yours in these Current Middle Ages,
Detlef von Marburg, ASCA, ORW

Greetings, Ansteorra!

Philippe and I would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us
for the Legacy of Lions tournament this weekend. Each and every one of you
helped to make the magic that is this event come to its fruition, and bring
forth The Dream to many others. If you were not able to join us in our
celebration, you missed a truly spectacular event, of which tales will be
told for many years.

Thank you to Their Stellar Majesties Aaron and Amelot for joining us. Your
Presence made our event so much more than we thought that it could ever be.
We were blessed to have you with us as we celebrated the anniversary of our
beloved Barony.

the Lyonesse:

Congratulations also to the winners of the Arts and Sciences competition:

We apologize, but we did not get the name of the artist selected by Lady
Lyonesse, which was the creator of a piece of beautiful blackwork
embroidery. Please contact me privately so that we can ensure that your name
is entered in our history books.

Well done, all!

There were many hands who labored for many months to ensure that this event
was such a glorious experience, and we cannot possibly list them all. Please
know that we appreciate the hard work and dedication of each and every one
of you. We do, however, want to say  a  special thanks to the following good
gentles, (in no particular order):

leading the staff of such a large event with so many activities.

Radegund for being such gracious and beautiful hostesses.

Bjornsborg's rich and tapestried history.

Lady Anne, who coordinated the serving of the feast and ensured that
everyone was fed with a smile.
Mistress Adelaide, who coordinated gate and ensured that all were made to
feel welcome.
Lady Celeste, who, with her decorating crew, made our event look beautiful.
>From the list field to the stage to the feast hall, this was indeed, a site
to behold!
Milord Donald and Milady Elisabeth, who hosted the hospitality pavilion and
ensured that our guests not only had shade and comfort but were also
well-fed!

who we know will treasure them forever and wear them with pride.
Master Iago and Mistress Lucia, for running a wonderful and very
well-received tavern.
