Their Excellencies welcomed Her Excellency Baroness Jennet the Gentle,

of the game of power and intrigue that had ensued that day, and
annouced its winner as Tristan Frodelius, presenting his with a volume

welcoming the new baronial bardic champion. Although expecting only to
read the wording of the scroll, a work of iambic pentameter most
arduously crafted by her renown wit, she was informed by Their
Excellencies that the assistance they required was that she receive the
scroll, and be invested as the new Bardic Champion of the Barony of
Delftwood. Scroll wording, calligraphy and illumination by Lady Helene
al-Zarqa'.
Their Excellencies then called forth Lady Gwenhwyvar Morwyn. Having

Their Excellencies called forth Fridrich Flußmüllner and
Felicity Flußmüllneren. These gentles not being present,
Their Excellencies attempted to contact them through the ether by means
of a strange oracle, to the incantations of the populace. The
invocation was answered by a disembodied voice, which invited the
deposition of a message. Their Excellencies' herald made such,
informing Fridrich Flußmüllner and Felicity
Flußmüllneren of their induction into the Order of the
Windmill. Scrolls by Verederosa Dal Sol, with an accompanying scroll
for young Moira of Delftwood, of whom Felicity had been delivered only
four days prior.

was closed.
