~~~~~~~~
The time of Harvest has arrived and with it taxes are due to the just,
honorable, and rightful rulers of Blatha an Oir. Their Excellencies Hengist
Helgassone and Maricka Sigrunasdottir have travelled to the Near East where
they observed the rich giving gold and silver coins, heroes and warriors
giving horses, and others giving gifts simple as apples. Those with good
fortune would help those in need. These gifts to the court show the
generosity and kindly spirit of the Barony, and by doing so the court
returns these ideals in kind to those who may have need.

•Donations of Largesse will be accepted
