Event: Investiture Location: Bangor, ME Date: Sept. 21, 2019 Reporting Herald: Brita Mairi Svensdottir, assisting: Hrafn is-Augu
The Baron welcomed everyone to court.
Master Godric of Hamtun presented Baron Ane du Vey with a crossbow made by him and a quiver made by Hrafn is-Augu with bolts made by Njall Randvisson.
Representatives from the shore of Lyndhaven spoke of Baroness Sylvia’s interest in Seal Island, a pretext for a former war between the two groups, and appointed her Warden of Hierdamrokh. She promptly gave that duty to the Foresters Guild.
Their Excellencies thanked many people with gifts:
Their populace with tower tokens made by Her Excellency

Gruffyth Abernathy, their head retainer, with a mug
Brita Svensdottir, their herald, with a Norse style mug and the promise of making a banner
Then they divested themselves of all the trappings of rank:

Gruffyd Abernathy and Admiranda Howard came forward to receive the kneeling pillows
Faust and Izzy came forward, as children of the incoming Baron and Baroness, to receive
the shields from Eva and Melody, children of the departing Baron and Baroness

them and placed them on the baronial thrones
