A roster of armored fighters joining the unit at Pennsic is being organized, if you wish to join see Lord Eofor, who will be the Commander of the unit this year.
Several officers are looking for deputies, and this is a great way to try it out and see if you enjoy it. If you think you might be interested in what an officer does, come talk with one of us. If you’re just not sure what the various officers do, come ask about that!
Their Royal Majesties ask that we all be their eyes & ears for people who are deserving of awards. Remember that the Cleftlands wiki lists a person’s awards, if you’d like to see whether they already have a given award.
Scribal challenge from Her Majesty – There is a competition for the group that can provide the most AoA level award blanks. Blanks may be submitted with illumination only, calligraphy only, or both.
