Baron and Baroness, Crispin and Gianna
Took a moment to say how proud they are of Cleftlanders contributions to Pennsic, including: .
For the Belted champions team: Sir Kjartan Eikbrandsson, Sir Thorin Eikskjald, Sir Wigthegn the Younger, Count Nikolai Grigorevich Petrov, and Duke Valharic Caligula Aurelius.
For the Unbelted champions team: Captain Sirius, Forester Muldonny McVriw, Lord Sviatoslav Arturovich, and Lord Carl of Cleftlands.
For the Archery Champions Team and alternates: Forester Gwyneth Cole, Forester Muldonny McVriw; Cadfan of Cleftlands, Dafydd Myddleton, and Gladius the Alchemist.
Representing the Midrealm as the Arts & Sciences: (General) Duke Eikbrandr Solgyafi and his team of artisans including Duke Alen, Master Milescent Vibbert, and as an alternate for the team Baron Edward Brackenburye.
On Monday in a Battlefield court following the field battles, the following combatants received an Award of the Dragon’s Tooth for being in the vanguard that overcame the King of the East: Sir Wigthegn, Dafydd Myddleton, Sviatoslav Arturovich.
The Cleftlands Rapier as a unit received a token of thanks from the command staff for fighting with the East to balance the numbers and fighting during the woods battle.
And not to overlook some of the truest heroes on the field, a very dear thank you to the Cleftlands Hospitality Corps led by Baroness Angharad ferch Tangwystl.
Finally, on Thursday at Midrealm court our own Sorcha Fraser was placed on vigil for the Order of the Pelican.
