Tarius and Gaia
Unto the esteemed Citizens of the Barony of L’Ile du Dragon Dormant do Dominus T. Tarius Britannicus and Domnia Gaia Caelia Angelus send our
warmest greetings.
We have had five years to taste the fruit that is a Barony from the guiding hands of Baroness Valeria and Baron Pellandres. Now, as fellow Citizens we realize that before us all is a crossroads for the Barony. The direction that we take in the coming years is now up to the Citizens and the new Baron and Baroness.
The direction that we, Tarius and Gaia, wish to see the Barony follow is one that would see growth for the group and a rediscovery of the joy and energy that we once all had for the Society. At its heart the Society is an escape for all of us, an escape from the mundane world and its troubles. Events should be joyful times where we undertake our most beloved of hobbies. We wish to see a golden age form and develop within the group, where new citizens join us as we strive in our various passions. We desire new Warriors, both Heavy and Light, upon our fields, bringing the Baronial Banner before new foes; to see the faces of new Archers the first time that they strike the golden ring of the target; to see the finely made songs and crafts of our Citizens gain word fame and renown.
In addition to the recruitment of new Baronial Citizens, and to helping our existing members rediscover the joy that brought them to the group, we also wish to encourage a change within the group. It is a change that we hold dear to our heart and hope to foster; that of pageantry.
Just as Camelot was the famed capitol of King Arthur’s lands in lore,
we wish to see the Barony of L’Ile du Dragon Dormant become renowned;
for our heraldic display, our courtly manners, for our gallant
warriors, and for our willingness to conduct ourselves in the ideals
of a more chivalrous time. Lords should honor all Ladies, and do unto
them every courtesy. While Ladies of our court should be beacons of inspiration to one and all, by word, by deed, and by action.
Both of us feel that this is the direction that our Barony should take. We feel that the sleeping Dragon must awaken and rise. Our foes will fear us as we bring them battle. Our banners shall unfurl and be seen throughout the lands. And our good neighbors shall know that their borders are secure as they are guarded by the most noble and skilled Citizens of L’Ile du Dragon Dormant. That is the vision that we have for the future of the Barony.
If you feel that this is the direction that the Barony needs, or if you have suggestion for us, please do not hesitate to contact us. We do wish to thank everyone for the support that has been shown to us already and for consideration in the selection process.
For those who may be interested, we have included additional thoughts and missives upon our personal website; http://www.thehillfort.com.
In service to the Barony,
Domina Gaia Caelia Angelus, AoA, OTroub
Dominus T. Tarius Britannicus, AoA, OSC
