abendgulesI'm still 'on' my gilding challenge, but had to take a few days off to complete some commissions for Coronation. Will post pics of finished works shortly.
12th night was well-attended by many folks from out of the region, which was lovely - seeing many people I haven't seen in months or years. Our friends Keilyn and Ormswin (O. was one of the founders of West Dragonshire) were in the UK for the holidays, visited with us, and attended the event. K was one of the first people from Drachenwald I met at Pennsic the summer before I left, and she was a longtime gaming mate of Robert's.
The site is a good one for an event like this, well supplied with bunks, showers and kitchens - the only downside being transporting tables, chairs and and food between buildings. But for modern comforts, it was pretty good.
I got to introduce O, as maker of the Drachenwald kingdom seals, to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aryanhwy, who as signet had trouble finding any of them.
He explained he'd been asked to make copies of one that had been made in FIMO or something similar, and make them in a hurry, which might explain why the one I have custody of is a bit rough-and-ready. He's a go-to guy for 'making stuff' in his current barony, just as he was in Insulae Draconis, along with Master Paul and Sid.
The evening court was held 'on the sofa', because a large, semi-circular sofa was in the main hall, sitting in front of the fireplace, and had room for three sets of royals, with TRH Nordmark in comfy chairs on the outside.
Robert and I were jointly honoured with a rare award, that of the Dragon's Bowle, for notable attention to authenticity. We got a lovely scroll from a Finnish lady, who took one of my scribing classes at double wars in 2011 with text bybadgersandjam. It carries no precedence, but is not often given.
My sweetie is now on the hook to make us 'bowles' to display - so we'd better get eating more coconuts for their shells. :-)
There were few straight faces when Anne of Wokyngham came to receive a sigil from the queen, for 'relieving the burden' of many cares during the reign from the queen's shoulders. It was a great text and ideal for her.
HE Paul, in addition to his county title, also received his order of the Laurel scroll - backlogged since the days of Edouard and Eanor, AS 31.merlyn_gabriel completed it with Robert's text, and it is a delight.
The big news of the event for this region is that HE Clancy was put on vigil to contemplate membership in the order of Chivalry.
HRM Thorvaldr made it clear that he has the option of knighthood, mastery of arms or nothing at all - three options, all three equally open to him.
Their Majesties will be back for the principality investiture, and want his answer at that time, so it looks like we're headed to investiture in February.
