Principality of Cynagua: Winter Investiture
January 24, 2015 @ 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Their Highnesses of Cynagua, Prince Jost and Princess Isolte, invite you to the Investiture of Their Heirs: Lord of the Swan Bjorn Jorsalfar of Bearhaven and Lady of the Swan Hilarie the Puppeteer. Come and enjoy music and merriment, and the fellowship of Cynagua, in the comfortable Great Hall, as our glorious Prince and Princess embark upon Their next campaign and pass Their Coronets down to Their excellent and capable Heirs!
The Lord and Lady of the Swan would be most pleased if members of the populace would bring their framed scrolls to display at the Investiture Hall. I would also invite those with banners that are willing to have them hang in the hall to bring them. Just be gentle with me if I don’t hang them in order of precedence, although I am certainly willing to take direction on that count.
Entries to the Copper Spoon contest and the Black Swan Brewer’s guild contest should be at their respective tables by 1pm!
With the cold winds of Winter blowing through the Land of the Sable Swan, come warm yourself in the Tavern and enjoy a first course mid-day repast and an evening meal prepared by Mistress Else Hunrvogt and her Schwarz-Schwan Taverne staff:
