Greetings to Their Majesties Amos and Ysabella,

Greetings to all subjects of Their Majesties,

Greetings to the fencers of Atlantia and to the scholars of the Academie d'Espee,

Whereas in two years since he authorized at Ymir, he has demonstrated a relentless desire to stab people on the inside

Whereas he has, in that time, sought out every opportunity to fight, sometimes six days a week, and spent more time in mask than many fighters around three times as long

Whereas he has, as a result, become a threat on the melee and the tournament fields, and overwhelmed all who made the mistake of under-estimating him

Whereas he has in his studies sought out the expansion of our art in its understanding of the teachings of Salvatore Fabris and Paulus Hector Mair

Whereas he began and continues to marshal a practice that serves as a venue for recruiting more young fighters into our ranks

Whereas he has served his barony and kingdom and any others who he could at all opportunities

Whereas he has taken to the field of armored combat with spear to punish the enemies of our kingdom wherever they may be found

Whereas he has shown himself a willing and able teacher of the next generation of Scholars

Therefore, let it be known that we three Provosts of the Academie d'Espee of Atlantia, Maestro Dante di Pietro, Lord Raphael de la Rosa, and Lord Wistric Oftun, do request and require that Lord Tassin Navetier hold the field to play his prize for elevation to the rank of Free Scholar at the Ruby Joust, to be held in the Barony of Caer Maer on Saturday the 25th of May, 2013.

At that time he shall face a representative of the White Scarves of Atlantia, all Free Scholars there present, and all other challenges as time permits, in such diverse forms of contest as the challengers shall determine. Should he acquit himself honorably, he shall be marked with the gold scarf that serves as testimony to his virtues, and warning to his foes.

We call upon Lord Tassin to ready his arms, his mind, his body, and his soul.

We call upon this Academie and all others to attend, witness, test, and judge.

Yours in Service,

Maestro Dante, Lord Raphael, and Lord Wistric

Greetings to Their Majesties Amos and Ysabella,

Greetings to all subjects of Their Majesties,

Greetings to the fencers of Atlantia and to the scholars of the Academie d'Espee,

Whereas he has shown on the melee and the tournament field a skill with the sword most lethal and dangerous

Whereas he has defeated the tall and the strong through training and study, and in so doing demonstrated the essence of our art

Whereas he has shown his skill with various weapons and forms, including sword, sickle, dagger, flail, and spear

Whereas he has sought out Atlantia's foes on all fields and shown them the fate that comes to all who would stand against Atlantia

Whereas he has served his canton and barony at all opportunities, recruiting and welcoming newcomers, sharing his knowledge with the lay public, and taking on the duties of a marshal

Whereas he has studied the venerable masters and their teachings, and taught new fencers the art of defence, enriching our community, Academie, and Kingdom

Therefore, let it be known that we three Provosts of the Academie d'Espee of Atlantia, Maestro Dante di Pietro, Lord Connor Levingstoune, and Lord Wistric Oftun, do request and require that Lord Aedh ua Ruairc hold the field to play his prize for elevation to the rank of Free Scholar at the Ruby Joust, to be held in the Barony of Caer Maer on Sunday the 26th of May, 2013.

We call upon Lord Ruairc to ready his arms, his mind, his body, and his soul.

We call upon this Academie and all others to attend, witness, test, and judge.

Yours in Service,

Maestro Dante, Lord Connor, and Lord Wistric

At Defending the Gate I announced that I am acting as the primary sponsor for Ruaric, Tassin, and Gawin, commonly known as the Jaunty Lads of Windsmaster's Hill. Wistric and Raphael join me in sponsoring Tassin and Gawin, and Wistric and Connor sponsor Ruaric with me. Each of these scholars has shown dedication and drive to the betterment of themselves and the kingdom around them. They are full of the energy and enthusiasm that keeps us progressing and growing as a Society. They will be playing their prizes at 3 events to be determined. Please come to their prizes and beat them senseless while making them fight in unusual challenges. In Service, Maestro Dante di Pietro, Provost
