WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Fighting practice starts tomorrow! Feels like it's been forever! It's going to be nice to see my brother again.
I really need to work hard if I want to be ready for Ursulmas in 3 weeks. My spot in the Sleeping Hall is reserved and I probably have a road trip buddy! Ursulmas last year was my very first tournament of my fighting career, this is a milestone. I've met so many people there, I hope to meet even more and to see old friends! 

I've been working on my commission a lot.  Started weaving trim 4 of 8 this afternoon.

March of Cambreadth

Very inspiring song by Alexander Heather I've been listening on repeat these last few days.

March of Cambreadth

Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight Those Bastards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold
Fight until you die or drop,
A Force Like Ours is Hard to Stop
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till You're No Longer Sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Guard your women and children well,
Send These Bastards Back to Hell
We'll teach them the ways of war,
They Won't Come Here Any More
Use your shield and use your head,
Fight till Every One is Dead
Raise the flag up to the sky,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move Your Feet to a Marching Drum
We'll win the war and pay the toll,
We'll Fight as One in Heart and Soul
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Baroness inspirational tourney

Tourney in Lions Gate!
I didn't fought well. My head wasn't there, for some reason. But I did learn stuff and I overcame some obstacles. I fought a Knight that I'm really scared of. I even scared of talking to him. Turns out he's a pretty nice guy and I was once again scared for no reasons.
Also, I made this for the entry price and I walked home with 3 yummy delicious bottles of porto!

Medieval Metallica? Why not!

Stary Olsa is a band from Belarus. They usually do Medieval Folk from Lithuania, well, the Duchy of Lithuania to be precise.

I really like how they covered this. I've heard so many different covers of this song and most of them are great, but this one is in my top 3 for sure.

 Будзьце дзіўны Стары Ольса!

Lady Hlíf Áskelsdóttir went to Coronet

 Fought in Coronet! Did ok. Not best, but ok.

Tonight I received my first award!! My Award of Arms!

An Award of Arms is the lowest level of armigerous rank awarded by the Crown, generally to those who have become recognized integrated participants in the Society.

Their Highnesses Prince Kerrigan Na Traga and Princess Lenora de Calizzan

Bright burns the fire of knowledge like the midnight sun over the mountain tops out across the sea. It never sets and is insentient in its discovery. So it is that We, Kerrigan and Lenora, Brave Prince and Gentle Princess of Tir Righ in the north, wish to acknowledge one who has shown that same burning desire to learn and grow and serve.

Hlíf Áskelsdóttir, you have come to Our notice and by Royal dictate of Their Majesties of An Tir, King Styrkarr and Queen Dagrun, We now wish to give you an award of arms. Let the all the rights, privileges and responsibilities now rest upon you fully and consult with Our heralds to devise suitable arms.
