On the 26th day of April 2014 (AS 48), Baron Siegfried Brandbeorn, knight of the Society, and squire to Duke Sir Finnvarr deTaahe, and Ragni Dzintari, wife of the same Finnvarr, were crowned as King and Queen of Ealdormere. Though it was his right to Crown Ragni as the Queen of the north, King Siegfried, on behalf of true love, gave that right to Finnvarr. Before an emotional crowd, Duke Finnvarr placed the Crown of the Queen of Ealdormere upon the brow of his lady wife.

 Thank you to everyone who made Coronation such a great time. We had a great day and it was a wonderful end to our reign. It was wonderful to share the day with friends from near and far and to see some faces we haven't seen in a very long time. Special thanks once again to our household for their patience and support this past year - especially Mahault and Mahhild for being Chancellor and Chamberlain. Thank you as well to those who served as our Champions, Mistress Ælfwyn Langanwuda, Lord Rorik, TH Lady Jocelyn and Lady Ailis - you were all amazing and we were so humbled to have you be our champions. To the Kingdom - we were touched by the support and enthusiasm which you shared with us, truly without You we are nothing as Crown. It was such a privilege to be able to welcome so many new folks, bestow awards on talented and deserving folks and to share the past year with you all.

  Congratulations and Wassail to TRM Siegfried and Ragni - We were wonderfully surprised with the Ducal Estates you granted us.

Thank you all, cheers
Nigel and Adrielle

In April AS 18 the people of the north held an arts and sciences competition at which many wonderful works were shown. Many awards were granted to recognize the skills of their crafters. Most notable of all was Sylard of Eagleshaven’s induction into the Order of the Laurel for his metalwork.
