Until the populace of Lochac does Niall and Sabine send warmest greetings.

What a magnificent event was had by all who attended Crown Tournament last weekend! Thank you to Our gracious Hosts, the Baron and Baroness of Rowany, and Our congratulations to the stewarding and feasting team from Stowe-on-the Wawld for a simply marvellous event. Particular thanks to Mistress Finn for managing the weather for us.

We wish to thank all those honourable combatants who entered Our List to vie for the Crown of Lochac. It was a very well distinguished list that demonstrated for all in attendance, more than its fair share of prowess, honour and chivalry. We were honoured to see so many members of Our Royal Household take the field – many of whom were fighting for Platonic Consorts! We were excessively pleased (and relieved) that all combatants managed to attend the event in the face of some excessively harrowing travel logistics. We are likewise exceedingly gratified to have found for Our populace, worthy Heirs who We know will serve you dutifully.

We also had the privilege of elevating Magnifica Juliana de Northwood to be the newest member of the Order of Defence and a number of important Kingdom announcements – We have extended the warrant of Our hardworking Kingdom Seneschal, Baron Lachlahn Dunbar for six months, and We had the pleasure of announcing that November Crown 2020 shall be held in the Barony of Saint Florian de la Riviere.

We have many amazing events coming up – Rekkrthing in Aneala, Fields of Gold in Politarchopolis, the Tournament of the Rising Razorback in Ynys Fawr, and newly added to Our Progress, a visit to Rowany Yule.

Once again, We wish our heartiest congratulations to Our Heirs, Crown Prince Theurderic and Crown Princess Engelin, and We look forward to seeing many of you over the coming weeks.

Yours in Service to Lochac,

Niall & Sabine.

 

Unto the fortune favoured Populace of Lochac does Niáll and Sabine send Greetings.

We have Heirs! Huzzah!

After a marvellously attended and exceedingly well-fought tourney, with and nail biting final against Sir Alain Quartier, Count Sir Theuderic emerged victorious fighting for his lovely consort, Countess Engelin. It was Our great duty and honour to proclaim Them Crown Prince and Princess of Lochac and name Them as Our rightful Heirs.

Yours in Service to Lochac,

Unto the Good Gentles of Lochac does Niáll and Sabine send warm greetings.

It is with long held anticipation that We look forward to tomorrow’s tournament and festivities. We do, however, have some updates for you all:

Master William Castille and his consort, Mistress Katherine Alicia of Salisbury, as well as Sir Kitan von Falkenburg and his consort, Baroness Alesia de Cheval Blanc have regrettably had to withdraw from the Crown Tournament and We will unfortunately not have the pleasure of seeing them upon the field tomorrow.

Further, We acknowledge there are considerable mundane travel impediments impacting quite a number of Our intended combatants at the moment. We will do Our very best to accomodate those impacted by inclement weather conditions. We beg the Populace’s indulgence and understanding as We may need to be a little flexible with the intended start time of the Crown Tournament.

Yours in Service to Lochac

Unto the now peaceful, but perpetually pleasant Populace of Lochac do Niáll and Sabine send warm Greetings!

It is with hearts filled with friendship and heads filled with new memories that We return to Our respective lands after an eventful Spring War – the Queen to Our fine estates in the North; the King to Our political heart in the South.

Firstly, We bring glad tidings that His Excellency, Sir Rufus is once more in true and proper fealty to the Crown! Suitable taxes have been promised. Bread has been broke, and all is once again well in the Kingdom. The mysterious wars that keep breaking out at this time of year are once again at bay.

Further We have had the honour and the privilege of seeing the Good Sirs Rowland Bridgeford and Henri de Montferrant admitted to the right noble Order of the Pelican – each for their many years of outstanding service which has always been such a bounty to their households, their baronies and to the benefit of Our Kingdom. We send Our heartfelt Congratulations to the Masters Henri and Rowland.

It was also Our pleasure to announce that Lochac’s ‘Great Matter’ has been finalised in accordance with the Populace’s wishes, and the Crown Events date changes are to be implemented as of November Crown 2020. The upcoming Seneschal’s missive in Pegasus will contain more details on this Great Matter.

After such a wonderful event, We needs must thank Our wonderful hosts, the Barony of Modenvale. To Their Excellencies, Sigrid and Ulf, the stewards, cooks and event team – We would say ‘Thank you!’ and ‘Huzzah! Well done!’ From the excellent site accommodations and the very entertaining Mordenvale Þing, to the fabulous night markets and the simply marvellous Queen’s High Cheese! Such a wonderful event was enjoyed by all. We extend Our thanks and congratulations to the many hands involved in such an amazing event.

Yours in Service to the Crown of Lochac.
