Excellencies
Greetings all,
We begin by thanking Mistress Constance and Lord Giovanni for hosting such
a wonderful Arts and Sciences event. The classes were superb; we are blessed to
have such amazing teachers in the Citadel. We also thank our seneschal, the
Honorable Lord Warmin and Lady Rois for opening their home to us and for
providing such yummy eats. The conversation with Mistresses Maimuna and
Catriona was informative and we hope that everyone took the opportunity to
speak with them or submit a questionnaire.
Lord Giovanni will be hosting arts workshops in July, please look to the
calendar for more information. He will be assisting with Clann Wars
preparation at these meetings.
Speaking of Clann Wars, there is just a month to go!! If you can, please
contribute to the party. We will be happily accepting donation of party
supplies at all fighter practices. The Queen will be attending Clann Wars. Let’s
make this her favorite event of her reign.
Battlemore is just around the corner and the site coordinator has requested
camp information. If you plan on camping please let us know so that we can
ensure there is enough space for everyone in the Citadel Camp.
