The Blue Strand 2015-01 January 2015
Greetings good gentles,
Welcome back to The Blue Strand. After a sabbatical, I am happy to report that I have returned full of enthusiasm. Our fair Barony will once again be penned for future posterity.
There has been so much that happened in the last year. Our Barony turned a year older. Gilbert Purchase became Champion, again. Miguel de Santiago became captain of the Black Dolphin. Emmett Thorgrimsson became Page, replacing Peregrine. These are just the highlights of the year past.
Following is what has occurred in the last month. As always, if you have any articles or pictures you would like to submit. They can be sent to kg.chronicler@gmail.com
And now, without further ado I present the First 2015 edition.

The Blue Strand 2013-07 August 2013
Greeting Good Gentles and welcome to another edition of the Blue Strand,
What an amazing month it has been. Krae Glas celebrated it’s second anniversary in a very beautiful tournament style. Both Heavy and Rapier fighters fought for the honour on the field and the points to win the day. It was truly amazing to see.
In the Winter Rapier Tournament Series we saw that even a Viking sometimes requires honour above all else, to win the day. Leif won the mantle of captain of the guard with honour points breaking the tie for first place.
If you didn’t understand the rules of this day of honour, have no fear. Our own Don Everard Sefar has provided an account which is published in this very issue.
I do hope you enjoy this edition.
And without further ado, I give you the wonder that was August.

Greetings all,
This has been a wonderful month of Archery, Rapier, Heavy fighting, Feasting and entertainment. And all at the Axe and Sword Inn. It was a warm and welcoming event and we thank Thorgrim and Alison for their hospitality.
We also had two new officers step up into the roles of Herald and A&S officer. Miguel became the Baronial Herald and I stepped up to be A&S officer. Miguel has already been doing the Barony proud. I hope to continue our high A&S traditions in Krae Glas.
On another note, there will be no June Chronicle, as I will be wayfaring to Kingdom of Ealdormere.
There will be a July edition. If any would like to submit their experiences of the Stormhold Baronial Investiture, they would be most welcome.
The Blue Strand Issue 2013-04 April 2013
Greetings good gentles,
I am currently seeking assistance. During the Months of June and July I will be wayfaring to the Kingdom of Ealdormere. As such I will be unable to write an account of our Fair Barony in that time.
I am hoping that someone would act as my deputy and collect the information needed to continue to inform the populace of our goings on.
If you do not feel you could write a whole article, but are very adapt at collecting facts, then that is agreeable. Any information collected shall be added to the July Chronicle, upon my return.
At this point, there will be no June Chronicle.
However, may I now present the April Edition of The Blue Strand.

Greetings good gentles,
Welcome to the March edition of The Blue Strand. What a full month it has been! With another exciting round of the Summer Twilight
Tournament Series, a new Baronial Award and- of course – Mini Moot, it has been a great month in our fair barony.
Festival also took place and by all reports was as much fun. Our own Baron and Baroness way faired there and send their greetings to all who stayed behind.
I must apologise for the tardiness of this issue. April 1st made a slight fool of me, by sneaking into the Easter break. However, as Mini Moot was mostly in March it had to go into this issue.
Want to know more? Then please read on.
If you have any submissions for the April issue, please send them
into kg.chronicler@gmail.com
And now, I give you, our busy month of March.

Greetings good gentles,
We have some very special writers this month. Nicolette Dufay has given us an account of Border War, including some beautiful pictures. Martyn Fairchild has given us an account of the first Krae Glas War Muster.
Along with the many activities and minutiae this chronicle is quite full. There is always room for more though, and if you have
something for March, please send it in.
Now I will let you enjoy the beautiful words of this month’s writers.
YiS,

Greetings Good gentles,
January was a very special month in Krae Glas. We played host to the very auspicious 12th night coronation of King Felix and Queen Eva. Many people commented on how lovely the halls looked.
The weekends courts were peppered with awards and offerings.
In between courts many activities were enjoyed, including heavy fighting, rapier and market stalls. The event was very successful.
After this event our own Baron Cormac and Baroness Elspeth embarked on a tour of their lands. Which reportedly went well.
Unfortunately this meant they missed they next round of the twilight tournament. It was a unique event, with the heavies mounted on an elephant and giraffe. It was most entertaining to watch.
Read on, good gentles, for the full accounts from several reliable sources, including our own Seneschal.

The Blue Strand Issue 2012-9 November 2012
Greetings Good Gentles,
I am delighted to tell you that we have a very special writer this month. Baron Cormac has kindly submitted an article on November Crown. It is quite an entertaining read.
With that in mind, if anyone would like to submit something for the Blue Strand, please do so. It can be a few lines about an event you attended, or your favourite recipe.
Perhaps you found some historical references that the known world would be richer for knowing.
It does not even have to be an article. Perhaps you captured that perfect picture of the final round of a tournament, or saw some younglings doing some impressive stuff. Whatever your
entry may be, feel free to send it in.
And so, without further ado, I give you the
November edition of The Blue Strand.

Greeting good gentles,
What a wonderful event Great Southern Gathering was. All who were there said how relaxing and enjoyable the atmosphere was. It was also a great opportunity to learn new skills or teach something to the many
willing students.
While the weather was forecast for quite a lot of rain and rather gloomy besides, the worst of it seemed to pass us by and did not impinge on our enjoyment in any serious way.
Personally I’d like to thank the
organisers of the Event.
Particularly Don Everard Sefar and Lady Arganhell merch Briauc. It was quite a wonderful weekend.
And without further ado, Please read on for the details of this fine event.
