In Memoriam: Master William Fletcher of Carbery

Posted by

Sad news comes from Mistress Sofya la Rus of the passing of Master William Fletcher of Carbery

Having earned both the Boga-Hirth for his prowess in archery, and the Order of the Pelican for his extensive service to the young archers of Calontir, Master William was well loved by the people of the Heartland.

William leaves behind his lady wife, Mistress Juliana Macnayre , his daughter Lady Avelyn Carberry. and son Sean.

 

 

 

 

Rejoice, Calontir! Exalt in the works of your people, the fruits of their labor, and the glory of their efforts. Rejoice especially in the diverse efforts of those who have long set their hearts to the education of others, for whom it is said ‘gladly would he learn, and gladly teach.’ For without those who will teach others, the plays would end and the respites stop and all the world be a darker place for it.

One such eager teacher is the good and faithful servant William Fletcher of Carbery. Apt named arrow artist, years toiling on the field have produced this faithful fletcher’s crop: Archers aplenty, arrows alighted, joyous laughter following. His good deeds never done for fame, but for the joy of a target struck.

Teacher of children, bearer of bolts, wise and true subject of the Falcon; to him do Anton and Yseult now give new feathers, as a Companion of the Order of the Pelican. Its beak as sharp as what he sets in his quiver, its service as dear to the Heartland as he.

Let to his lands a small forest be given, a grove of good wood; strong Oak and Pine. That his shafts may be stronger, his handles heartier, and the joy of the Kingdom increased by its grant
