The Rumor Mill Juicy Tidbits Heard ‘round the Barony!

By Otter Gossip

Rumors abound… that our new seneschal, Lady

Naomi, is at the helm! Run, Baron William, run!

Cheering from River Point… they too have a

new Seneschal. Lord Nathaniel has just taken

over the position. Good luck!

Whispers around town is that Pennsic was…

hot, muggy, stormy, cold, wet, fun, busy and

wonderful! I don’t know about you but I am still

doing laundry!

I heard… that the victor of the last Cross & Lily

Tourney was Sir Amos and the chivalry prize

went to Sir Kieren. Huzzah gentlemen!

Scandalous news…. starting next month Caer

Mear will have a new baronial chronicler! This

lil’ otter is moving on up to Kingdom chronicler.

It has been a joy entertaining you every month.

Wish me well!

- Photos of the Month -

“Ooh yeah, right there!”

Master Donal showing Sir

Bryce his exemplary skills in

service.

“Dear Lord, bless all the

fighters and please help

with my MOL scoring.” Baroness Bojzena, serving as the back-up MOL, seems so penitent.

These photos were taken at the Pennsic Recovery Party by Lady Gytha. It

started out with torrential rains and with the help of good friends, the sun

came out and we had a glorious day!
