- From the heirs of the Wood’s Coronets…
Greetings to the populace of Myrgan Wood.
We are your new heirs to the coronets of the Wood, Lord Basil the Husband and Yukimura Kaen-dono. Prior to our ennoblement from obscurity you may have known us from the rapier field, range and stage. Now from the thrones we hope to make better acquaintance of all of you.
Firstly we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Crown of Avacal and to the populace of our fair barony for the confidence you have placed in us.
We do hereby seek to represent our barony with honour and chivalry. We shall serve the Crown with grace and humility and our subjects with strength and patience. We intend to be receptive to the words of the populace, the judgement of our officers and wisdom of the peers.
May the Great Elm of Myrgan Wood provide shade for our fighters and a nest for the mighty griffon.
-Lord Basil the Husband and Yukimura Kaen-Dono.
- Archery Practice Cancelled – Saturday September 12th
Due to a busy weekend for our marshals and regular throwers/archers, we will not be having practice on Saturday, September 12th. We look forward to continuing again on Saturday, September 19th.
Have a safe weekend!
- Baronial Change-Over
After a process of seeking baronial candidates, interrogating the candidates (gently), polling the populace, and giving Their Majesties time to consider all options with Their Wisdom — one of our two couples has been chosen to lead Myrgan Wood when our current Baron and Baroness step down.
Congratulations to Kaen Yukumura-dono and Lord Basil the Husband!
All are invited to witness the transition of power at Myrgan Wood Anniversary, October 11th!
