Unto the Kingdom of Lochac, greetings.

It has been a busy weekend. Stormhold has a new Baron and Baroness … and a new Goutte d’Eau Herald. Lady Wynnflæd æt West-Seaxum has succeeded Baroness Ute von Tangermünde. Lord Dante Caldiera has been appointed as household herald to Stormhold.

Given that the new Baron of Stormhold was hitherto Rocket Herald, I gifted him freedom from the role. It is my intention to appoint Lord Gunther Boese (a former Canon Herald and therefore glutton for punishment) to the position of Rocket Herald. Hopefully Baron Brían and Lord Gunther will start the handover process shortly, however the decision is open for commentary until Friday 24 March 2017.

Please forgive any glitches in the submission process while the handover takes place. In the meantime  here are the registrations that have come back successful for this month:
