Due to adverse weather there will be no practice today.
See you next week,
jorundr
Hello Debatable Lands!
With the current weather, lightning in the forecast, and a soggy practice site, I’ve decided to cancel archery practice for today. Enjoy the extended post-Pennsic rest. We’ll be back at it next week.
Stay dry!
Ronan
Online Sewing will be happening again this Thursday in Kingdom zoom starting at 7:30 p.m. The theme this month is laundry! Many of us have lots of Pennsic laundry that needs to be washed, dried, ironed, and folded. Or if you prefer to sew or just hang out that’s fine too. Join us and share a story or two. If you have questions or want a specific topic in the future, contact sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org.
Hello Debatable Lands! Salve Accolens!
Peace has been interrupted! War is declared! AEthelmearc fights with the MidRealm!
Knights! Masters of Arms! Gages, Alces! Iron/Red Comets! Those who aspire to to heavy arms! We are calling all Baronial Heavy Fighters, Households, Unaffiliated Fighters, and Neighbors to gather under the glorious Comet Banner, and fight with the Debatable Lands during the Bridge Battle Thursday morning of War Week.
Your Battle Commander is Sir Bors of Rouen, and will be found that day in the vicinity of Their Majesties.
While we’re not fielding a unit during the entirely of War (due to “easy mode” Pennsic – it’s been a strange couple of years), folks in our fighting community indicated that they want to feel the Camaraderie of the Comet at least once this War! Let’s give it to them! Non-fighters, and those not fighting in the Bridge Battle – please come out on cheer our mighty battle unit on!
A great benefit to gathering at the Bridge: Watch our very own Knight Marshal, THL Guillaume, be Knighted at the hands of His Majesty, just after the battles are done. It’s sure to be moving, indeed!
We also invite all unaffiliated fighters whose eyes land upon these words, to find a member of the Debatable Lands to fight with on the field on other days as well! Sir Bors can help you to find your place on the fields of War.
September 17, 2022 Hold The Date, Mate!
Barony Social, Post Pennsic Picnic, SeptembArr talk-like-a-pirate day and baronial court. Hawkeye Park, Monroeville, 12-8. BYO food, beer and wine allowed, NO GLASS.
Posted on behalf of Lady Arthes:
Greetings Barony!
We’re going to be having some delicious walking tacos and some other snacks for our barony social at Pennsic. We’d like to invite people to bring cookies to create a cookie table for dessert. We’ll have some visitors from out of town, so we thought this might be a nice way to celebrate our local culture too. No pressure – we’re doing Pennsic easy mode this year, so if you want to bring a dozen or two of your faves, we’d appreciate it! If you have any questions please reach out to Lady Arthes arthesofbmdl@gmail.com or find her on Facebook.
Thank you!
Greetings good people of the Debatable Lands!
After a rather lengthy term that has spanned both times of plague and times of peace, my term as Chatelaine has come to an end. I do not intend to serve another term and so I am hereby putting forth a call for letters!
If you have an interest in becoming the next Chatelaine of the Debatable Lands please submit your letter of intent to Their Excellencies, Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilderun, and to our Seneschal, Baroness Muirgheal by Aug. 24th, 2022. This is the date of our next business meeting where the candidates for the office will be voted upon.
If you have any questions about what the office of the Chatelaine entails, how to submit a letter of intent, or where to send your letter, please reach out to me at chatelaine@debatablelands.org.
It has been a pleasure serving you all!
In service,
Ronan Ó Conaill
