Their Excellencies Bran and Cemper were both welcoming and entertaining; two excellent qualities to have in any landed Baron or Baroness.
It was Ellisif Reikiavik who shone most brightly at this event. Called into court no fewer than four times, the feastocrat did a wonderful job. The feast was served in three removes. The first was early period
recipes, the second late period recipes, and the third, and best, was desserts!
The autocrat, Margery Garret, managed to keep us on schedule and find time to enjoy her meal and
strike up a bit of conversation as well. Also, a popular face during court, Margery managed to make at least three appearances before the thrones.

Khevron, read the Order of the Sandhill Crane into court, and was awarded with the same. Perhaps the highlight of court, in terms of purely entertainment value, was Elisheva’s War Story. Though not exactly G Rated, it was entertaining and got plenty of laughs.
For myself, the welcome I received in Winter’s Gate from several individuals there, many of whom I had not before met, made me think that the long journey to visit our neighbors to the north, is well worth the trek, no matter the season.
