Memories

  • My favorite memory of this event was not getting elevated to Court Baron (which was very nice). It was that Lady Casia Thessalonica apo Constantinopolios memorized and recited for me The Voyage of Bran,, an Irish hero story which I very much liked. She added just a touch of an Irish brogue, and spoke with a force and confidence that few could match. ~Eadwynne of Runedun
