WR - XXth Event

[F J Villafranca III]

Well said my lady,
    But behold, we must not forget the fine Archers who demonstrated their superb
skill, honorably defending, and representing their nobles in the fine and esteemed
Nobles Tournament. I must say it was quite a display of the rewards for perseverance
in practice by the Archers of our kingdom.             "Lest we forget..."

                                    Preserving the Archers Dream,
                                    Eshtban il Andalus
                                    Shire of Tre' Lac
                                    Ansteorra
