[Mike]

Heilsa,

Schedule of certain events:
Joint War Practice will be held with our sister barony, Elfsea joining us:
November 6th at Mary Heads Carter park in Carrollton.
2 PM until 6 PM or when everyone gets tried.

There will also be a "Buckler" tournament held this day -
best to my knowledge it will be held at the beginning of the practice.
Call it 2:30 PM. This tournament is being sponsored by His Royal Highness,
Sir Qadi 'Abd al-Mahdi Jamal ibn Hakim.

By my count there should 6 bucklers available to fight with.

Comment for Sunday:

Bright skies and pleasant temperatures
Cooling breeze, chilling in the shade

Lord Hrafn not winning, yet winning
Time of more than generation
One Score and Nine being the count
The "Holy" or as some call it
    "The Grail " -
A acknowledgment of a Quest
Once to fighter, Once to non-fighter
Order Given twice before
A third Time - back to a fighter
Vivat Lord Hrafn!
