A Word from There Excellencies As announced at our business meeting last night we will be limiting our champions to Residents of Myrgan Wood and/or recipients of Blood of the Wood. While we understand that this will disappoint some, people we felt it was best for the Barony in this transitional year. We welcome all to come and test the mettle of our potential champions at our 3 events this year. Skald the Hall: March 3rd where we will Choose the second Bardic Champion and Premiere youth Champion of Myrgan Wood. Spring Champions, May 13th where Arts and Sciences and Rapier Champions are chosen. Anniversary, Thanksgiving weekend, where we choose our Armored and Missiles Champion. Thank you all, Fjall and Isabelle
