Oertha's Winter Coronet

The Principality of Oertha, Kingdom of the West--Well worth the trip to Winter’s Gate, Coronet officially began on Saturday, but Friday night their Highness’ Gregor and Isabella had a renewal of vows on site.

Saturday dawned dimly so far north, but for Winter’s Gate in January, it was positively balmy. Their Majesties Miles and Ǣsa up from California thought it still frigid, but we are thrilled that the weather warmed for their visit.

The 18 A&S Competitions were well entered, I believe there were at least two entries in each of the competitions. My personal favorite entries were the furry shield, the Russian Teddy Bear, and the Ursa Major and Minor embroidery.
