"Wet, cold, windy, and wet!
"There were high hopes that Tor would keep the weather in check until after the event, but those hopes were dashed, along with a number of tents and sun/rain shades at the tourney. The Fetburg sunshade snapped one of its support poles, and Mistress Anastacia's vigil pavillion came down with snapped poles and torn canvas. She does asure us that it will be reborn.
"The tourney itself was able to finish, although soggily (is soggily a word? If not chalk it up to skaldic license) Finals were a marvel to behold with Knight facing his own Squire. Ragnar Beowulf vs. Dregel Alewulf. Court was a friendly affair, a very freindly affair with most of the populace trying to fit into the royal pavilion. During court their Higness' ancourage as many people to crowd in as possible, and some did. But after a bit, when a fair number of people still stood in the wind and wet. His Majesty came out and in a mighty voice cried, "Everybody into the Pavillion, Let's go!" and gently but firmly shoved us all in. Thereby setting a new Kingdom record for "how many people can you fit into a pavilion?".
"Mistress Anastacia's Pelican ceremony took place with performances by Myself, Lord Padraig Donn Mac Mahuna, and Lady Kellyn Firesinger. During court it was announced that news had come of an impending storm to break over us, and most, if not all, quit the site at that point.
