Subject: Crown Tourney, Lost & Found from Birka


If you're haven't yet reserved for Crown Tourney, don't despair.  There are 
still some on-board spaces left.  There is also plenty of off-board space.

I don't have the full feast menu in front of me, but one of the high points
is sure to be the roast Pheasant.

****WARNING****

The feast-hall is unheated, so if tomorrow is cold, bring warm garb.  


***************

Also, the Stonemarche Chatelaine will have the collection of Lost and Found
from Birka with him at Crown Tourney.  If you think you might have lost some-
thing at Birka, stop and check it out.  Ask at troll when you get there where
the lost-and-found is set up.


The autocrat is already at the site, so don't expect to get a reply if you try
to call him tonight.

air, the clash of rattan on armor and shields will echo off the granite walls.

will the valiant victor vanquish on April 30. The Barony of Stonemarche is
proud to be hosting this year's Spring Crown Tourney at the Hills borough
