It was truly awesome, I was honored to have particpated in it, standing with
my knight, Sir Rhodri. It was very powerfull and from my station I was able to
hear all that was said. I hope in the future we are able to see more vigils
like this, taken from history and placed for all to see. <BR> <BR>Michael

Might I add to this...<BR>The vigil for Modius had a wonderful, beautiful,
magical ceremony the likes that I have never seen in the 20 years I have
been in the SCA. The Knights that were part of the round table
ceremony were all dressed in white, and stood at stations to give advice to
the new Knight. The alter was beautiful, and the priest that was
conducting the ceremony made it so touching! Conducting by
torchlight was just that magical part, the only thing missing was the church
walls. It has to be the best Knighting I myself have ever seen the
likes of, and one I will not ever forget. I am glad that I
was able to witness it. I, along with many others, was touched
beyond belief. <BR>Cheers!<BR>Mirabelis<BR> <BR>> Date: Sun, 18

ravensfort@lists.ansteorra.org<BR>> Subject: [Ravensfort] Stargate/Loch
Soilleir Baronials/Investiture article<BR>> <BR>> Stargate/Loch Soilleir
Baronials/Investiture<BR>> a report<BR>> by<BR>> Lemoine de
Gascony<BR>> Apprentice to<BR>> Mistress Shanahan the Fey<BR>>
<BR>> On April 16 A.S. XLIV or 2010 in the common age, I Lemoine de
Gascony<BR>> and my love Lady Rosalia of Raven's Fort were charged by H.E.
Brain du<BR>> Val to take a basket of gifts to his new cousins H.E. Don
Caelan<BR>> MacRob and H.E. Mistress Rhiannon verch Bryan of the Barony of
Loch<BR>> Soilleir on behalf of the good people of Raven's Fort. We were
also<BR>> entrusted with a great gift of importance for Sir Modius
Von<BR>> Mergentheim to be given while he was conducting his vigil.<BR>>
<BR>> Setting forth on our journey, Lady Rosalia received word that
a<BR>> member of the Raven's Guild was to join us. After picking up
Samantha<BR>> Bennett we headed out to the investiture. The trip down was a
very<BR>> scenic one. The Ansteorran wild flowers were in full bloom making
the<BR>> trip most enjoyable. We pulled into the gate at the site just as
it<BR>> opened. Once the kind and very understanding people at the gate
had<BR>> given us our tokens, we made our way to a very lovely spot and put
up<BR>> our tents. After we had put up our tents, we walked around the
site<BR>> taking in all of the sights. We found H.E. Master Don
Robert<BR>> MacPharland and many others who in our travels we had become
friends<BR>> with. Returning to camp, my lady and Samantha informed me that
they<BR>> were in need of food. On our way out H.E. Master Don Robert asked
us<BR>> to place signs out on the road so others could find the site.
After<BR>> setting the signs in place we came to a Rancho Grande Tavern.
We<BR>> enjoyed a great meal that did not take from our pockets very
much<BR>> gold. Returning to the site with very full and happy bellies we
lit<BR>> the lamps and enjoyed fellowship with Samantha. A very nice lady
came<BR>> in our camp and requested help with her tent. So the three of us
went<BR>> forth and helped her get her tent put up. Once we returned to
camp<BR>> Rosalia and Samantha turned in for the night. I being a night owl
by<BR>> nature went out in to the night wanting to see how many had made it
to<BR>> the event thus far. I returned to the gate and meet the
wonderful<BR>> hospitaler of the Barony of Stargate, Lady Ciarnat of
Firethorn and<BR>> her lord. Don Corvin Fenarro and many others were at the
gate as<BR>> well. We spent much time telling tales of our adventures.
While I was<BR>> at the gate enjoying the company of these very nice people
our own<BR>> Lady Mirabelis Genevah Zabaneh arrived at the event. Once to
gate had<BR>> closed for the night I started to walk back to camp when
Lord<BR>> Yarraslav “Orge” Horsebreaker walked up and inquired about the
fine<BR>> wood burning tools that he had made for my wonderful lady. I made
my<BR>> way to his camp and along with many others we talked for many
hours<BR>> into the night. After everyone became too tired to talk any more
we<BR>> retired back to our own camps. It was a good thing. Soon after
the<BR>> rain came. It was the perfect weather for sleeping..<BR>>
<BR>> Early the next day, the three of us were getting ready for
the<BR>> adventures that awaited us. We were greeted by Chrestien Brule,
and<BR>> shortly after our own John de Athos came onto site. After every
one<BR>> had finished greeting each other we gathered our gear for the
list<BR>> that we going to held that day. Once we arrived at the list field
Don<BR>> Pieter Rausch opened the armor inspection for the rapier
fighters.<BR>> Rosalia and myself passed with out any problems. John de
Athos had a<BR>> small problem but it was fixed and all of us were entered
into the<BR>> list. Their Stellar Majesties Owen ap Aeddan and Genevria di
Betto di<BR>> Adriano opened court. It was a grand court and many great
things were<BR>> done by the hands of their Stellar Majesties, a few of the
great<BR>> things that happened: Lord Stephen Crowley was admitted to the
Order<BR>> of the White scarfs of Ansteorra. Vivat to Don Stephen Crowley.
Baron<BR>> William and Baroness Katya stepped down from many long years
of<BR>> excellent service to the kingdom as Baron and Baroness of
Loch<BR>> Soilleir, Vivat for a job well done. Don Caelan MacRob and
Mistress<BR>> Rhiannon verch Bryan were invested as the new Baron and
Baroness of<BR>> Loch Soilier. Vivat to H. E. Don Caelan MacRob and H. E.
Mistress<BR>> Rhiannon verch Bryan. Once Court had finished it was on to
the<BR>> fighting. I had the honor of being the first Rapier fighter to
fight<BR>> Don Crowley. It is something I will remember for many years to
come.<BR>> The fighting was long and the day had its moments of being hot,
but<BR>> over all it was a great day for fighting. In the course day of the
I<BR>> meet Lady Elisava Illiesca. Lady Elisava like myself is studying
the<BR>> arts of pigment making and also an apprentice to H.E. Mistress
Suzanne<BR>> Gabrielle Marie Beraud. Lady Rosalia and myself delivered the
gifts<BR>> from the Barony to H. E. Don Caelan MacRob and H. E.
Mistress<BR>> Rhiannon verch Bryan, who were moved and touched by the gifts
that<BR>> Raven's Fort had given them. I also informed H.E. Don Caelan that
the<BR>> home brewed beer had been made by one of the brewers studying
under<BR>> Don Charles and that if he was to attend our event, he and Lord
Logan<BR>> Torcoletti could talk terms on refilling his bottles or
replacement<BR>> bottles. I also informed H.E. Don Caelan that Lord Logan
was working<BR>> on a mead. This brought a large smile to his face. Also I
was gifted<BR>> with tools that will aid me in my pigemnt making as well as
pigments<BR>> from H.E. Mistress Suzanne Gabrielle Marie Beraud. Once again
I am<BR>> very thankful to H.E. Mistress Suzanne Gabrielle Marie Beraud.
After<BR>> the fighting had finished and Rosalia and myself had changes out
of<BR>> our armor. We made our way to the vigil of Master Modius
Von<BR>> Mergentheim. We delivered to him his gift. Master Modius
Von<BR>> Mergentheim was moved by the gift and was much thankful for
it.<BR>> Finding time to relax Rosalia and myself made our way to the forge
of<BR>> Lord Yarraslav. We found that Lord Yarraslav was working on a
tripod<BR>> with very ornate feet. It was a pleasure to watch this fine
blacksmith<BR>> work. It was pure art and raw muscle mixed together in a
grand dance.<BR>> With night falling and heavy rains in the forecast, it
was decided to<BR>> break camp. So everything was packed into the wagon and
made ready to<BR>> come home. We had reunited with Samantha who told us of
her adventures<BR>> of the day and how much she really enjoyed the event.
Then we went off<BR>> to court and feast. In court it was announced that
our own Lady<BR>> Mirabelis Genevah Zabaneh was the new Equestrian Champion
for the<BR>> Barony of Stargate. Vivat to Lady Mirabelis she more than
earned it.<BR>> The feast was great, there was more food then one could
pile on ones<BR>> plate. Rosalia, Samantha and myself had more then one
plate of this<BR>> very well made food. After the feast had finished we
returned to our<BR>> homes in Raven's Fort.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> That
is all.<BR>> Lemoine de Gascony MKA "L.D. Beers"
