Got distracted from cleaning and made my first tassel. This will be for my prayer beads.

Any of my followers interested, hit me up.

I’m doing a small book of medieval Spanish poems on virtues for a big competition mid-February. The first is done. Feather quills I cut, ink made with soot and resin, French paper made the same way since the 15th century.

Now to do a dozen or so more…

My Lords! My Ladies! Pray Attend!

This is to announce the beginning of a new Borealis tournament! 

As Such, I present you: THE IRON RING OF BOREALIS!!

Within our great barony we have devised a way to allow new rapier fighters the chance to get used to the varying styles of tournaments, and the seriousness and tempo each fighter will have to face should they ever wish to participate in any baronial, principality, and kingdom level events. 

We believe that this will help to increase tournament turnouts and give our fighters more confidence in the errik (sp?).

Once the Iron Ring has been earned, the winner will have the chance to run the next months tournament. This allows them the freedom to restrict weapon choices, and style of tournament. But while the winner holds the ring, they may not participate, there-by allowing a new holder in the next round. 

The Barony of Borealis welcomes all to help our new and seasoned rapiers hone their skills via testing their mettle. Though we regret to inform all that only Borealis residents may win the ring. This is to guarantee that the next months tournament go ahead with little hindrance, barring life getting in the way. Borealis residents have a more guaranteed attendance. 

Thank you for your time. I’ve been glad to share this new and hopefully future tradition with you.

- Alessia
