There was no formal Business Meeting this week – instead, Their Excellencies Pietro and Aurelia hosted a Rapier Tournament. The list of Combatants and Their Inspirations were as follows (apologies for misspellings):
Duchess Antigone, fighting for Lord Eric
Lord Essjay, fighting for Captain Trygger
Lord Edwin, fighting for Lady Kelda
Lord Wolf, fighting for Lady Solveig
Warder Oberon, fighting for The Dirt Farmer
His Highness Thorin, fighting for His Lady Wife Thora (and his daughter)
Lord Gunther, fighting for the Honorable Maestara Thorhalla Karlsdotter
Jaeger Muldonny, fighting for Her Highness Jaeger Gwynneth
Duke Wigthegn the Younger, fighting for Duchess Neassa O’Cathasaigh
The winner of the Tournament was Duke Wigthegn, and the choice from the Gallery of Inspirations for Most Chivalric was Lord Wolf.
Baronial Succession
This evening is the last chance to file a letter expressing interest in being a candidate for the position of the next Leaders of the Barony.
November 18 — Baronial Candidate Q&A — We will hold a Candidate Q&A at our regular Baronial meeting site to give the populace an opportunity to learn more about those asking to serve as the next Baronial representatives.
A moderator will lead the session and read questions submitted by the populace so that the candidates have an opportunity to address the same subjects in an orderly and respectful format.
This will be an informational session, not a debate. The goal is to give the populace a better understanding of each candidate’s experience, goals, ideas, and approach to serving the Barony.
Please submit questions before November 18 to: seneschal@cleftlands.org
Please use the subject line: Baronial Candidate Questions
Questions may be combined or lightly reworded for clarity when several people ask substantially the same thing. The person submitting the question will not be identified when it is read.
