Greetings to the populace of the Barony of the Steppes from Master
Duncan Hepburn and Mistress Genevieve de Courtanvaux.
We are brimming with emotions that we wanted to share with everyone.
First off, we are glad that the baronial succession process is over
*whew*. As any who have participated as a candidate can attest, it can
be an exhausting experience. The barony can now focus on our future
greatness and the fun times we hope to have as a group.
We are grateful to Sir Lasguaard, Lady Lyneya, and Honorable Lady
Katya for recognizing in themselves that they were very suitable
candidates, and stepping up and placing themselves in the line of fire
with us.
We admire of the accomplishments of Baroness Katheryn and wish her the
best as she moves forward in her mundane career and SCA pursuits. Her
accomplishments while serving as our Oaken Lady have been substantial,
and she leaves big shoes to fill.
We are thankful to those friends and SCA family who have supported us
and who have pledged to continue to support us in our mission to
follow in Katheryn's footsteps to bring greater glory and success to
the Steppes.
We are proud to live is such a wonderful barony, where a baronial
succession is not an ugly thing, but instead a time to come together
as a group to support each other.
Above all (and we searched long and hard for the right word for this)
we are truly humbled by Their Majesties selection of us and our
recognition of the immense task before us.
We look forward to serving the barony and the kingdom in the capacity
of Baron and Baroness. This is a busy time for us, as you can imagine,
but we welcome any comments, suggestions, or questions from anyone.
In service,
Duncan and Genevieve
