• Galen MacColmain becomes the protege of Issabell St. Charles.
• It was a good day at Calontir Crown Tourney. My son took a step on the path he has chosen for himself to become a Kings' man. I was privileged to be there at the ceremony and to be able to 'foster' my son to another's war band. Oaths and gifts were exchanged and at the end as is tradition in Troll's Haven, the sword was thrust into the earth in order for the student to grasp, pull and realize the full meaning of his oath, for with that action, there is no turning back. With that final sealing of oaths, duly witnessed by six good warriors, Bjame Rorikson is fostered and squired to Sir Duncan of Skeen of Calontir. I am proud of my son and his choices.

Comments and Impressions:

• Jessica Jelinek - "After each battle yesterday in Crown (either after a win or a loss), my ears heard words of nothing but encouragement from each consort (that we were in earshot of) to the fighter that inspired them that day. Words and phrases ranging from “I’m VERY proud of you” to “You fought well, nicely done” to “That was a tough one I know, but you hung in there and looked good doing it”. THIS is Calontir to me. The uplifting of those that choose to fight for the right to wear the Crown of our Kingdom, and the uplifting of those that they have inspired made me smile. Encouragement, gratitude, inspiring, awe-struck; whatever you call it, let’s continue to thank those that inspire us, and those that we inspire."

• Konstantia Gold Falcon - I have the best damn heralds in the Knowne World. Thank you to all who served as tourney heralds (or help) yesterday. For that, I would like to thank Dawi, Ujimori, Takauji, Zino, Ximena, Brigida, and Felix. [And Johan. And Giovanni for Silent Heraldry.] I would also like to thank those heralds at the consulation table, too. Thank you, Caoimhin, Gawain, Brigida, Dorcas, Sofya, and Ujimori. Please accept my humble apologies if I have forgotten a name.

> Calontir - your College of Heralds is amazing. >

• Julia da Brescia - Had a Fantastic day at Crown watching the youth make 2D & 3D Mosaic art and hand bound note books. My thanks to [Macht] and Mistress Rose for their contributions of additional crafts, toys and books, including a commemorative Crown Tourney Activity Book! I hope they share their freshly honed skills with you all soon.
