Honor War - A missive from Baron Styrkarr Jarlskald of Wastekeep as printed in the Wastekeep Word, February AS 43:

Be it known that the College of Lyonsmarche, having long enjoyed the peaceful and prosperous protection of the great Barony of Wastekeep, has willfully ignored their sworn fealty and been found guilty of the most grievous offense, failure to pay taxes. This year, another bountiful lentil harvest has been proclaimed by the citizens of the College, yet where is the required tithe of lentils? To further add to the insult, a commissioned review of the Grete Boke reveals that there has not been a tax payment from Lyonsmarche since AS XXXIII and the reign of HM Brendan Shimmeringstar. A proper and courteous request for back taxes has been rebuffed most shamefully and there is a report that the cowards have turned to our misled cousins in Wealdsmere for succor!!

The Baron of Wastekeep therefore, exercising his crown-given rights, calls forth the warriors of Wastekeep. All friendly Knights, Sergeants sworn in service, archers, sappers, engineers, skirmishers, artisans, teamsters, suppliers, cooks, and assorted camp wenches are hereby summoned to the Gate of Hell itself (Hellsgate State Park) on the weekend of April 24-26 where King Vik and Queen Inga shall, in person, bear witness to this redress of grievances.

Honor War - Tova and Phelan put in the group use deposit. There was a discussion on access - we need to work up a large sign for the entrance to C-loop stating it is closed except for the War (Tova and Tawny will work on the wording). We also need to have barriers to keep the public from driving through the middle of the event like they did last year (BIG mention of the truck/boat combos that kept circling). Tova reported that last year revenue was 1,620, expenses $743, for a net profit of $987.

Honor War - Happenings - Phelan will be meeting with Barons Styrkarr and Caieth on February 18 to discuss war scenarios. There will be a rapier tourney on Sunday, A&S competition on Saturday, lentil cooking/sampling on Saturday, and Brewing competition on Saturday. We will be awarding the Rapier Champion, A&S Champion, and Brewing Champion. There was a discussion on what we should give these people. We probably don't have time to make scrolls for the outgoing A&S Champion, but Phelan said he's ok with that. It would be nice to make some belt favors for the incoming Champions, with the Lyonsmarche device and identification as a champion with the year. If we do these through a sewing shop and/or personal machine then we can personalize them and not have to get them back at the end-of-service. Phelan will look into what it would take to make such items and costs involved.
