All hail and pray attend!  We, the proud citizens of the Barony of l'ile du Dragon Dormant, are pleased to invite one and all to come and celebrate the Third Anniversary of the investiture of Pellandres and Valeria and our Barony's birth!  All residents, old and new, ex-patriots who have left our lands for adventures far away, great friends and neighbors who have shared their experience with us in the past, are ALL warmly invited to return to our lands and join us in the revel!

It is our pleasure to announce that Their Majesties, King Andreas and Queen Gabriella, have accepted our invitation to visit their far-away lands and celebrate this joyous day with us!

Activities to help mark this grand occasion include our Baronial Championship of Fence, with challenges that will take the contenders both
on the field in a display of prowess, and off the field in a display of knowledge!  Participants are encouraged to contact our current champion John (formerly Gustav) for more details at johnpanicked@yahoo.ca

Our Baronial Championship for Arts and Sciences will also be one of the centers of attention, and participants from afar are welcome to showcase their talents at our display tables, and act as our inspiration for the day!  Classes are also in the works, and anyone wishing to teach is encouraged to contact our A&S liaison for the event:  Lady Jeanne de Robin
at joanna.hobbins@gmail.com

There will also be a heavy weapons list available for all fighters from the area to demonstrate their prowess to our visiting Monarchs; however fighters should be prepared, as this display may expose them to the outside elements!

Immediately following court, a sumptuous feast will be served to honour our Barony?s anniversary and the Royal Visit, created by our own resident Kitchen-Meister, Lord Petru Voda and his talented crew, will be certain to
satisfy the hungriest of gentles.  It is based on the theme of Winter Comfort food, including various meat based pies and stews, as well as other delicacies.  For food allergy related questions or concerns, please contact Lord Petru at petruvoda@videotron.ca

Merchants are most welcome; however they are advised to contact our merchant liaison as space will be limited.  Contact Mistress Freya Karlsdottir (Lizbeth Clark) for more info at freya46@gmail.com
