Hello Debatable Lands! Salve Accolens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a beautiful day to celebrate the Investiture of our Heirs as your new Baronage, Prima & Violeta! We leave the Baronial thrones in caring and competent hands, and we have every confidence they will serve you all with as much affection and levity and care as we and all our predecessors did! VIVANT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the office is turning over, of course we have done an inventory of the office’s items (as is required in our policies – and we do follow the rules here in the Debatable Lands!), and we’d like to share a few things that you may just see today that are of historical interest. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Levitate et Caritate, and Cheers!
(and for one last time) Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda (dusty in here…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
