Good people of Nordskogen, Nordleigh, and Blachemere, the time is nearly here! As we write, Warriors and Warlords careens toward us like an emperor’s unmoored party barge on a storm tide. Are you prepared? Tents aired? A&S entry in progress? Weapons checked? Coolers bleached? Garb ironed…
Nah, let’s not go too far.
We are both looking forward to a weekend of challenges, classes, court, and cheer. Nordskogen has reserved a block of camping near the battlefields, and everyone is welcome to join us there. The baronial pavilion will be open as a hospitality space with water and shade all weekend, and on Saturday from 1-3 Lord Madoc will host an A&S display and competition there for the baronial championship. Please enter your work, finished or not, so that we and the kingdom may see the many talents of the barony!
We also hope that each one of you will give an hour or two of time as a volunteer to keep the event running. As of this writing, more than a hundred shifts remain to be filled. As co-hosts, we share responsibility for making this event fun for all, and we can do it with only one volunteer shift per person! Activity schedules have been posted, so you can plan your weekend and sign up at http://warriorsandwarlords.org/volunteers/
We are also pleased to welcome our new officers! Lady Lewke verch Gwilim is our new exchequer and has passed the role of chatelaine to Jelena Pagani, and THL Helgi Moosebane has officially taken over as knight marshal. We are so happy to have all of you on board! Our great gratitude goes to Wulfstanus for his years as exchequer and to His Highness Melrakki for his work as knight marshal.
Stay cool, drink water, and have fun!
Yours in service,
Caoilfhionn and Gabriel,
Baroness and Baron Nordskogen
