Coronation of King Dietrich and Queen Thora
Saturday, April 2, 2016
The day began bleak, with Thor
announcing the departure of King
Christoph (dubbed “The Storm
King” by a local gentle) and
Queen Adelhait. To this soul, it
was a reflection on our hearts.
As Christoph crowned Dietrich
his heir, the clouds began to part
and the rains eased. Throughout
the day, as our new monarchs
made their presence known
amongst the populace, Thor took
pity on us all and allowed the sun
to shine upon their first court. By
its end, all our hearts were filled
with joy with the knowledge that
our Fair Atlantia is in excellent
hands.
SKOL!!!!!!

Pysanky with our MOAS, Lord Ziyad al'Atar
A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg,
decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist (batik)
method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the
designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.
Everyone who came out had a blast and got to go home with their very
own egg!
