Rafe Le Mountere and Sawbina Fahy have welcomed their second child.
Alucard Parrin Harris born December 19th, at 2:45 am. He is 10 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 in. long.
A noble man of passions strong,
From freshest bloom of youth.
He made his path, oft right, oft wrong,
But spoke unwatered truth.
Chorus: He drank of life much more than most,
And savored ’til the end
So lift your glass and say a toast
To Duke, to Knight, to Friend.
Two neighbor realms this man did share,
Outlands and Calontir.
The Stag amd Falcon’s heart laid bare.
Each kingdom sheds sad tears.
He is now free from struggles all,
From pain, from toil, from strife.
Though he did fight the Reaper’s Call,
Too large he was for life.
For each man Death shall call his name,
When comes the end of time.
But ‘ere I live I’ll sing his fame
‘Til I find for orange a rhyme.
For those of us who know His Grace Lycurgus, also known as Loke, this sad news from his lady wife:
I’m sorry to have to say that after everything we’ve done in the last two days that unfortunately Lokes heart has been too damaged to go thru with a transplant surgery. As of this moment all the medication and breathing support is being with drawn. He will be given meds to make him comfortable until he passes.
Her Grace Sile adds:
Send your swiftest and strongest falcons to support our 69th Huscarl,
one of my own, on this last battle

Her Royal Majesty posted this sad news on the Kingdom of Calontir Facebook page today:
Calontir,
As you may have discovered last night, or are just waking up this morning to find out, we have suffered a tragic loss.
We lost one of our own, Fiora della Pace in a senseless accident yesterday. Her birth family and her Calontir family will all be mourning at this joyful light all too quickly snuffed out. While I was not yet blessed enough to call her a close friend, I know we all are feeling the agony at her loss. Her infectious smile, joyous nature, and sweet temperament cannot but leave a hole in our hearts. We will all grieve her loss, but the grieving will hurt us all less if we come together and help each other through this tough time.
I would ask you all to take a few moments to do something wonderful in her memory over the next few days and months. And I would ask you all to drink a toast in her memory. May she live forever in our hearts.

Demetrios Misthophoros (aka Demetrios il Condottiero aka Dr. Henry Marks) passed away on Monday
in the Kingdom of An Tir where he had resided since his retirement.
Demetrios was a Master of the Laurel. He was one of the founders and
first Guild Master of the Calontir Cooks Guild. He is probably best
known for loving a good discussion and the wearing of “earth tones.”.
He loved to challenge folks to do better research, to be a better
person. He wanted to know the why as well as the how it was done in
medieval times. He was well traveled – having been to Greece and the
Galapagos Islands (just two of the places that I can remember hearing
about.)
When in Calontir he lived in the Barony of Vatavia, but was claimed as
a member by the Barony of Mag Mor.
Mundanely, he was a director of a treatment facility until he retired.
At which time he moved to An Tir and began writing and publishing
several books. His best known book (now out of print) was Byzantine
Cuisine.
May his journey to the afterlife be filled with joy and bounty
