Unto the good people of Calontir, greetings and felicitations; more, wishes that these letters find you and your kin in good health and happy spirits.

Here in the shire of Shadowdale, we're looking forward to April. Not just because of the sun and birdsong of Spring, but also because we will be gathering to celebrate the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci. We invite you to come and join us in a day of celebration.
 

A&S Activities Challenges
*Costume Accessory, ideally drawn from the fashions of the Italian peninsula.
*A Siege Engine or other invention in the style of Leonardo, either design plans or else a working model.
*Painting or Charcoal Drawing
Now the format for these challenges: we would like there to be a populace bean count, to encourage all present to see the entries and offer their support to their favorite in each field. We would also like all of the entrants to be able to gather, offer criticism and advice to one another, and receive counsel from one or two experts in the field. If that cricism and counsel end up helping artisans towards greater success in Kingdom A&S, or towards greater fellowship, we will have counted the challenges as successes.
