Baroness and Baron Cynnabar, Hail!<br><br>To Excellency Hannah, and Excellency Tairdelbach, on behalf of the Archers and Arbalestiers of Your Populace --<br><br>It was our honor and delight to host the Baronial Presence for such a splendid day of fellowship and feasting! Allow me, as Marshal in Charge of the revel, to here thank before You and Your Populace Your Barony's two most recently arrived Companions of the Greenwood Company, Forester Padraig and Forester Grey. Forester Grey was most willing to step in and marshal the Line when requested and did so with gusto. Forester Padraig marshaled his most delightful Chicken Shoot. Your Barony, Excellencies, can truthfully be considered a haven for archers and arbalestiers!<br>
<br>Marshal Lady Aeffe and I have already been in consultation with the Honorable Lady Arina about archery-related activities throughout the winter suspension of practice. We know that there is much building and maintaining now to be done. <br>
<br>It is fitting to quote from a former Kingdom Archer Champion regarding why we Your archers readily turn our attention to the season-to-come:<br><br>"Myth speaks of Cadmus, a man who planted Dragon's teeth. He grew an
army. I say Dragon's Teeth, are a very hardy seed. They grow when
planted in the cold frozen misery of January and bloom in the heat of
war. What seeds do you plant today? War is not won in August. War is
won now. It is won by the hearts and hands of our crafters ....<br><br>We have a
duty to those who trained us and trained with us to pass the fire
forward. It is the fire that now burns on the hearth at home that shines
from the eyes of the Midrealm in August."<br><br>Thus spoke Forester Grey Oddson at Twelfth Night many years ago.<br><br>Our duty is to Cynnabar and to the Forester who has trained us to be for Your Worthy Service: This is the fire in our hearts. And not duty only, but also love.<br>
<br>Draco Invictus!<br><br>Yours in Bold Service to Your Excellencies, Your Populace, and the Crown of the Dragon Realm,<br><br>Lady Godeath se Wisfaest, AoA, APF, Archery GM<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 18, 2012 at 11:04 PM, Hannah Schreiber <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hannahschreiber@yahoo.com" target="_blank">hannahschreiber@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br>We had a great time greeting many of the populace, a couple of new faces, and visitors from the region. Lots of shooting, throwing of weapons -- and of course -- good food, fire, friends! There were many participants throughout the day for all the fun and creative archery challenges. </div>
