Céad míle buíochais to our first Baron and Baroness, Etienne Fevre and Melisende FitzWalter, for all their hard work and continued dedication to the people of Eplaheimr and the SCA as a whole. Their stepping down took place this past weekend at Tíonol Barúnach Eplaheimr in the heart of The Burren, Co. Clare.
Sadly His Excellency could not attend due to family bereavement. Our deepest sympathies to Master Etienne, Master Cernac, and all their family at this sorrowful time.

KINGESLAKE ABÚ!!!
