Greetings from your BMDL Unit Commander!

If you are fighting with the barony for *any* battle at Pennsic, please respond using your method of choice (email, FaceBook, Twitter, whatevs) between now and Friday, July 27. Any specifics you can provide (“I’m only fighting the field”…”I’m not fighting the woods”) will be extremely helpful!

If you are fighting with the barony and have not yet received a baldric, please find me at Pennsic! We are located at N13, in Camp Goedeten, which is across from BMDL camp and down the block from Herontir.

I eagerly await leading us into battle for the glory of the Debatable Lands and beloved AEthelmearc!

Greetings from your Comet Pursuivant! Here is the court report of Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilderun, at KWHSS, held on June 9, AS 53

Their Excellencies thanked everyone for their attendance, and then invited the autocrats, Master Alaric MacConnel and THL Raven Whitehart to come forward and acknowledge those who helped put this amazing event together.

Their Excellencies gave way for the procession of Tsaritsa Ian’ka of Atenvelt to join them on the dias.

A moment of silence was requested for Master Taliesin, Sea Panther herald of Trimaris, who had passed away eariler that week.

Their Excellencies invited Master Malcolm Bowmann to come forward to announce the induction of the newest Herald Extraordinaire of the Society, Baron Yehuda ben Mosha.

Her Excellency then made a point to recognize all the collected scribes of the Known World, as there are many who do not receive just recognition.

Dame Julianna de Luna was invited to come before Their Excellencies. It was noted how wonderful it was that she, originally a resident of the BMDL, had the opportunity to return to the Debatable Lands as Laurel Herald of the Society. For her tireless work she was awarded a Comettus Amicus. Scroll by Rivka bat Daniyel (illumination) and Ceindrich verch Elidir (calligraphy).
