Report for the Court of Baron Ané du Vey and Baroness Sylvia du Vey
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
Thanet House, their household with hand etched glassware
Eva and Melody, their daughters, with baskets of feast gear

the shields from Eva and Melody, children of the departing Baron and Baroness

them and placed them on the baronial thrones
