Barony of Delftwood
Here
follows the Report of the Court of Their Excellencies, Edward Harbinger
and Anastasie de Lamoure, Ninth Baron and Baroness of Delftwood, held
at Delftwood’s Deadly Carnival in Their Barony of Delftwood on the 11th
day of February A.S. 46. Officiated jointly by Meisterin
Felicity Fluβmüllnerin and Baroness Olivia d'Anjou. Report
submitted by Meisterin Felicity Fluβmüllnerin.
On the field:
Their Excellencies called before them Don Behrend von Elmendorf
to commend him upon his holding the field against all comers in the
Tavern Brawl Fencing Tournament. They provided the Don with a
scroll to commemorate his feat, scroll by Lord Fridrich
Fluβmüllner.
In Court:
Their Excellencies invited before them the assembled youth in
attendance. As is customary, Their Excellencies queried as to their
enjoyment of the festivities, to which the youths replied with vigor.
Having gained affirmation of the day's success from Their youngest
subjects, Their Excellencies gifted to them molded windmill cookies in
honor of our proud barony.
Their Excellencies invited before them all for whom this was their
first visit to the Known World. After much encouragement from the
assemblage, these new found friends were welcomed by Their Excellencies
and invited to return and, if it please them, to find a home in these
peaceful and prosperous lands.
Their Excellencies then gave leave to Baron Oeric Lestrange to hold
court. It seemed Baron Oeric had travelled through the mists of
time in order to right an oversight from his own time as Baron of
Delftwood. Baron Oeric called forth Lord Aiden Ransford so that
he might receive his scroll to prove to all that he had been inducted
into the Order of Millguard. Baron Oeric thanked his ancestors
for their time and disappeared.
Their Excellencies then called Their Fencing Champion, Don Benedict
Fergus atte Mede to attend them. Don Fergus affirmed that he had
held a tournament that day to find a new Champion to defend Them and
The Barony. One Matthew the Wrong had risen above all to
become the new Baronial Champion. Don Fergus was heartily thanked
for his time as champion and handed over the regalia of his office,
including the Seven Pearls Buckler, won by his skill for the honor of
Delftwood. Matthew was then invited to take up the role us
Baronial Champion. He accepted gladly and expressed his wish to
keep the Seven Pearls Buckler in Delftwood. Matthew was asked to
take his place with the other Champions to guard Their Excellencies at
all times. Scroll by Baroness Anastasie de Lamoure.
Matthew the Wrong was again called into the presence of Their
Excellencies. They had noted well his skill on the fencing field
and thought it appropo that he had won the day to become Their
Champion. For his good skill, they inducted him into the Order of
the Millguard. Scroll and haiku by Baroness Clarice Roan.
Master Rian Gortyroyan was then called before Their Excellencies.
In their good wisdom, Edward and Anastasie saw fit to induct him into
the Order of the Capstan, however it seemed that his scroll had
wandered into a neighboring public house, imbibed far too much of his
fine Hawk and Hound Ale, and disappeared. Search parties were
sent out to bring back the missing scroll and Lady Faílenn ingen
Chernaich pledged to see it returned to Master Rian.
Lady Desiderata Drake was then called forward and thanked for all she
had done to help the Barony of Delftwood. She was warmly
surrounded by the members of the Order of the Mistral, and inducted
into their proud order. Illumination by Baroness Anatasie de
Lamoure, Carving by Baron Edward Harbinger, Wording by Lady Catherine
O’Herlihy, Stained Glass Badge by Baron Artemius Andreas Magnus.
Their Excellencies then announced to the populace Their intent to step
down as Baron and Baroness at the next February event. They
stated that a vote would be held to find a worthy successor and that
the winners of that vote would be installed a year from this day.
They thanked all for attending and looked forward to a life in
retirement.
There being no further business before Their Excellencies, court was
closed.
