MERENIA'S WAR 
Lady Lauralansa announced in Court tonight that the war between Queen Merenia's homeland and the Enemy who poisoned her mother is not going well.  Day by day the enemy sinks to further depths of depravatity and honorlessness to acheive their goals.  Everyone in Warwick is deeply concerned for the well-being of the most beloved Companion, and all our thoughts and prayers are with her. 

DRAMA ON THE MELEE FIELD 
The weekly bloodbath which usually follows Court on Thursdays was interrupted this week by a flash of light, a puff of smoke, and a half-naked Fangorn.  Cubayar Moira and Sir Aeric immediately rushed to the scene, and found a note attached to him, informing the finder to take "this individual" to the Emerald Plateau, for those there knew him.  Fangorn, who was suffering from a massive head wound and loss of memory, was given over to the care of High Druin Ambernathia and Urielite Lady Lauralansa.  The two druins returned to the melee field shortly thereafter, confirming his identity and explaining that Fangorn had tried to turn himself back into the Crimson Avenger by recreating the accident which caused the two to merge in the first place.  The two Caernas called an end to the Caerna Strip Melee already in progress; when Sir Aeric, the acting Grand Knight for the e'en, protested, he was promptly put in his place by the thane.  In fact, when Sir Luhnquil refused to quit the field, Sir Aeric, who is already known to solve most of his problems with swift (and often-shocking) violence, took up arms to enforce the will of Lady Lauralansa, and drove the Caradoc from the field without losing more than his sash (the shirt was thanks to the Lady herself, a reminder to Sir Aeric of his place).  After the Caerna honor was maintained, Sir Aeric quit the field himself. 

Well, That's It For This Week!  Smack Me If I Forgot Anything!
