<strong>December</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Vigil</strong><br />
From our Baron and Baroness<br />
1<br />
Barony of <strong>Middle</strong> Marches<br />
<strong>December</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Vigil</strong><br />
Salutations and warm greetings to the populace of the <strong>Middle</strong> Marches! We hope that this<br />
missive finds you healthy and happy as <strong>2012</strong> comes to an end. As you may or may not know Marcus and<br />
I, Eilis the Stone, are the newly invested Baron and Baroness as of Red Dragon <strong>2012</strong>. Since the beginning<br />
of October, it has been Marcus and I’s main goal to reach out and introduce ourselves to the various<br />
shires and cantons in the <strong>Middle</strong> Marches. What we have found to be most impressive is the constant<br />
flow of ideas, energy, and service to not only the individual shires, but to the barony, and even up to the<br />
mighty Dragon Throne. It is so invigorating to see our Barony alive with such passion. That passion along<br />
with the drive to serve is what makes this barony so great, from clothing a new member to participating<br />
in the <strong>Kingdom</strong>-wide scribal challenge, our barony has truly come “to the fore”.<br />
As the New Year arrives many exciting things will be coming to our Barony. On January 19 th ,<br />
2013, Baronial 12 th Night will be held at the Hilliard Presbyterian Church. This day, with the help of Lord<br />
Malachai, promises to be filled with good times, good cheer, and good people with some potential<br />
Yuletide surprises. There will be a Baronial officers’ introduction ceremony, the stepping up of the new<br />
Baronial Champions, and much, much more. I hope that you will be able to join us, especially as we bring<br />
in the “New Year” with our very first Baronial Court. May your holidays be full of love and cheer!<br />
Yours in Service,<br />
Baron Marcus Pinarius & Baroness Eilis the Stone<br />
