A VISITOR TO COURT 
The Court received a very polite, well-dressed, and badly-accented visitor this week, whose name was unfortunately lost in the translation.  This visitor brought terrible news; a large blue wolf was found dead in the Eleven Lands, with a single yellow eye and a mixture of fur and scales.  As this sounded quite similar to Sir Mollari's semi-lycanthrope shape the last time he was seen, we can only assume the worst.  Knight Dimardizad, the new Sherrif, returned with a patch of the carcase's skin (!) for analysis by the High Druins; she, Sir Aeric, Sir Lucerne, and Magestrix Scarlette then left again to find the body, examine it more closely, and bring it to the Mages' Tower.  The Court anxiously awaits word of one of it's most beloved Companions. 

NEW REGENTS ARRIVE 
Queen Catalyn arrived a little late this evening, and had everyone swear fealty to her on the steps of Harad Mur.  Joining her was the Premier, Sir Marduk; the Seneschal, Countess Ambernathia; and the Grand Knight, Sir Bisquik.  Paladin Galchauren was named High Druin, and Healer Moira was named Herald to the Court.  Congratulations all! 

NEW DRUIN IN DA HOUSE 
(NOT THE DOCTOR, EITHER!) 
The swearing in of the new regents was accompanied by the Ordination of Dona Karissa, something which is becoming a tradition in and of itself.  Dona Karissa was ordained by the High Druin as a Druin of the Mandala in the brand-new order of Ceridwin.  This is the third time in a row that Karissa has been the first to be ordained under the new regency.  Keep up the good work! 

PUTTING THE COURTING BACK INTO COURT 
Meanwhile, the courtship of Healer Moira by foreign dignitaries continues, as over two hundred messages of love were delivered tonight by a very silly singing messenger whose name was also, unfortunately, lost in the translation.  Moira reported that earlier in the week, the hapless suitor had many giant (house-sized) roses delivered to her home, which caused no end of trouble not to mention property damage.  Good luck, Moira! 

YET ANOTHER ZANDOFAR 
Once again, Clan Zandofar adopted a new member into their midst: Damsel Liliandra Okeha.  She and the rest of the clan received spiffy new Zandofar medallions as well.  Congratulations, Liliandra! 

MELEE ACTION! 
Most of the action this week happened on the melee field, as Queen Catalyn hosted a tournament to see who would been her champion.  The contestants were Sir Aeric, Paladin Galchauren, Knight Dimardizad, and that foreign guy with the funny accent whose name I can't remember.  It was a long and fierce competition, but in the end, it was Paladin Galchauren who won the title of Queen's Champion.  Congratulations, Galchauren! 

On a similar note, Sir Bisquik held a tourney to determine who his Bruiser would be.  There was only one contestant, however--Sir Lucerne--so the tourney was considerably shorter.  Congratulations, Lucerne!

Well, that's it for this week, kiddies!  Until next time.... 

"Nanoo-nanoo!"
