Principality of Oertha--Friday set up began in a light drizzle that didn’t manage to dampen the excitement. Tents were erected, dinner was eaten, and the revelry began. In a mixture of garb and mundanes, the fun started early and lasted into the wee hours of the night. There was so MUCH fun, that not one of the four historians whose photos were widely distributed, acquired a photo of the revelry. No matter. Well after midnight, and thus technically on Saturday, Sheva was squired to Sir Gregor amid many cheers and much drinking. (Enough drinking, that in fact, the first cheer was so ill timed, that we had to start over and cheer her right properly.)
Saturday dawned early. Before the tournament, a few bits of note happened. Sevastian was squired to Sir Soren, with the approval of his Fencing Mistress, Sorscha.
