CROWN WAR OVER, KING DIRK VICTORIOUS (10/10/99)
The sun sails high over the battlefield and the bodies that litter the plains. In amongs the dead walks a figure of nobility followed by survivors of the onslaught. It was only a few months ago, when the child Queen, Cerdwin, offered to Her champion the crown in exchange for defending Her kingdom. If he should be victorious and survive, She would pass the crown from her tired brow to his.
Fergus, once of Avalon, now of Khatovar, led his crew to a great battle. In the end, he and what remains of his crew, limp home in defeat. The one saving grace in defeat was that the battle was hard won by the new king.
Now that the healing has begun in Avalon, eyes look toward the celebration of victory and the corrination feast. (Date TBA)

Business meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month. Location to be announced at each previous meeting and posted here if there is time. If information is not availible, try Mr. Bilbo's Tavern on Main Street, Akron
ARTS & SCIENCE
There has been talk about starting an Arts & Science Guild (for lack of a better name). This is in hopes of bringing the non-combatants and the more creative people farther into our world. Any support or interest is accepted and highly encouraged. BTW if someone can come up with a better working title, please let me know.
At this time contact your local web master for additional info or ideas.
I am trying to organize a demo group to make a showing at Stan Hywet Hall. We would like to arrange a demo once a month at Stan Hywet (a tutor mansion on 65 acres of land). Those interested should contact me. A brief historically correct persona history should be prepared. Garb should be accurate (at least know what century and country your clothes are from). Additional bits of history is optional, but highly encouraged. Please no fantasy characters (ie I will NOT be an elf that day). If you lack an idea, simple peasant folk are encouraged. (peasents fought for home & hearth, king and country too ya know) This will not be limited to Avalon members. If you are from out of town, you will be welcome to fight. Sam (Eldarin)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
11/4/99 I have to apoligize for my neglect of the web page. Issues, both related to and not related to the game have encroched on my free time. I've been wanting to revamp the page for a while anyway. So pardon us while the dust is flying.
11/3/99 Because of recent developments over the last few months, the Kingdom of Avalon has been removed from the University of Akron property. We are currently looking for a new home and have a few possibilities, which include an indoor facilities. We'll keep you posted.
