The Thirty-sixth Year

Oertha Coronet and Investiture
January 18-20, 2002 (AS XXXVI)

"... held at the Myers Lake Convention Center, about 40 miles NE of Anchorage, which had a breathtaking view overlooking a frozen lake and snow covered mountains.

"The lists were comprised of a noble group of six fighters. The finals were between Sir Patrick Logan and Fergus McThomas. They both fought valiantly, but in the end it was Sir Patrick who stood victorious in two bouts out of three. Sir Patrick was inspired by the grace and beauty of his Lady Katla.

"The feast that evening was spectacular. Mistress Anne of Bradford out did herself as the Kitchen Steward. The food was plentiful, delicious and warm! She was attended by a most gracious staff who were attentive to the needs of all those they served.

"The Canton of Ynes Taltraeth, although made an official Canton at Twelfth Night, was recognized by the Coronet of Oertha in a ceremony during evening court. After court there was a bardic circle that was a true joy to attend.

"The hospitality of the Oerthan populace was astounding. They were warm, courteous and grateful to have so many from the central West visiting. I encourage any who get the opportunity to make the trip to Oertha. The Principality is as grand and majestic as the land that it encompasses." -- Katherine ní Cheallaigh of Skye
