The Barony of Carraig Ban

Located within the Midlands Region of the Middle Kingdom

The View from the Tower

March 2010 Chronicler: Kathryn von Trier

The past year has flown by quickly. Our members have been very busy attending events and fighter practices. Our barony had a Tavern at the 40 year event. It was a lot of work, but everyone pulled together and helped. We were able to make money to go toward new coronets for the Baron and Baroness.

Our Elgin members created a P.I.C Elv Av Tiden. They have been very busy with many activities such as fighter practice and dancing.

The barony is now in the midst of 2 events. The first is a Fighter Symposium & Regional Fighter Practice scheduled for May 15, 2010. This is a co-event with Foxvale and P.I.C Elv Av Tiden. The Second is our Ragnarok Rampage - Grendel's Last Stand scheduled for June 18-20, 2010.

A Note from the Baron

Greetings All,
Well we have completed our first year in office, and what a year it has been. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Our 35 year celebration.

  • Creation of the Baronial Award of the Keep

  • Establishing the office of Baronial Historian

  • Formation of the Baronial Time Capsule

  • Renewal of our treaty with the Baronies of Illiton and Shattered Crystal

  • The forming of the Canton of Elv Av Tiden

  • Bonding with the Shire of Foxvale in the effort of doing a co event in May

To meet our goals for this next year will take some work from everyone in the Barony. It is very ambitious of us to pull off back to back events in just 4 weeks! I would also like to sometime this year put together a Baronial Charter if no existing one can be found. However the greatest challenge we now face is that of membership numbers. The Kingdom Seneschal will be our advocate at the Curia meeting in March. Hopefully there will be a change in how family memberships are viewed. Until then we can only wait and see. Either way, we will need to increase our numbers to keep viable. There is much work ahead, but I think we are up to the tasks at hand. Let us work together and make the dream continue for everyone to enjoy.

Yours in Service,

Baron Faustino
