> Greetings to the good gentles of the Barony of the Steppes. It is my 
> honor 
> and privilege to announce that the new Royal Huntsman of the Kingdom 
> of 
> Ansteorra is none other than our own Honorable Lord Wiliam Ironwyrm. 
> He 
> outshot a field of 15 archers in a remarkable contest. Remarkable in 
> that 
> the contenders and their equipment all held up remarkably well 
> despite 
> incredibly adverse conditions. The event was held in bitter weather 
> with 
> wind chills in the teens.Thankfully the waterbearer's of 
> Moonschadowe 
> supplied us with hot broth and chocolate all day, standing out in 
> the cold 
> without complaint for several hours. Steppes was well represented 
> with 
> approximately 1/3 of the archers participating being from our 
> Barony.
> 
> There was very nearly a major upset when Lord Alvin du Clairmont 
> (please 
> forgive me if I misspelled it) remained undefeated until meeting HL 
> Ironwyrm 
> in the finals. Lord Alvin represented our Barony and the future of 
> Archery 
> within it with great honor. Up until shooting against HL Ironwyrm in 
> the 
> final round, Lord Alvin was the ONLY archer that had not been 
> defeated at 
> least once in the double elimination tournament. This is especially 
> 
> remarkable as he has been shooting less than 6 months and has been 
> to 
> practice only half a dozen times or less. Lest anyone think that 
> this 
> acheivement was a fluke, he then shot at the grand opening of 
> Weisenfeuer's 
> new Archery range and shot more balloons than any of the archers 
> there, 
> includiing several past Royal Huntsmen and members of the Arcus 
> Majorus....We will see great things from him in the future, I have 
> no 
> doubts.
