Officer Reports

  • Baron
    • “To all the people of the Barony, greetings and all good wishes to each of you!

      It is with great regret that I announce that I will be stepping down as Baron at the end of June. I am, unfortunately, moving out of the Barony (into Iron Bog) and cannot retain the Seat.

      I have spoken to Their Majesties Ôzurr and Fortune; to Mistress Katherine Barr, EK Seneschal; and to Master Muin as Baronial Seneschal. The Crown has acknowledged my need to step down. At my suggestion, Baroness Ysmay de Lynn will serve as Vicar during the polling process for a new Baronial Seat.

      Master Muin will begin to set up the polling process to choose a new Baronial Seat immediately. I’ve contacted Their Highnesses to ask if They can make this Yule the next Baronial Investiture. That will be easiest on the Barony’s schedule and fits well into the timeline. I do not yet have a response, but I’m certain They’re very busy with Their new position and I will hear from them soon.

      In consultation with Master Muin and the Honorable Lady Alesia de Maris of Ravenstar, event steward for Commons and Champions, and after explaining the situation to the Barony’s Armored and Rapier Champions, we will be moving Commons and Champions to Sunday, June 23rd, where I will choose new Armored and Rapier Champions to serve the Barony for the next year, hold my Last Court, and install Ysmay as Vicar, assuming the bid passes its vote at the May Business Meeting this Tuesday night.

      Thank you for the opportunity to serve you for these last two years. It has been my absolute greatest pleasure to be your Baron. This is truly the best job I’ve had in the Society and you all have done me and your Barony proud.

      Waauugghh, Bhakail!!”
