The Regular Event at the Cleftlands turned out to be even more exciting than I expected. It was my first event as a Youth Marshall and, even though I don't really know what I'm doing, I certainly felt useful. There were a bunch of kids, many brand new, who needed lots of help to get rolling - they were great kids and I think everyone ended up having a good time. Vreile and Yllaria were a huge help, as were the other marshals, and I think we've recruited some fighters for Cleftlands which should make things more fun in general. I'm still too dependent on Nial, but that's because he knows everything and I don't - but I hope to build up my confidence in time. I barely left the boffer list all day, and it ended up being exhausting but very satisfying.

Musician's Guild ended up having more chance to practice than I had feared. With the addition of some strong singers, things seemed to go fine. Our audience is always very appreciative no matter how we sing, which helps a lot.

Court was exciting: House Bork was called up early on in Court which always feels good - I'm proud of our household and people do seem to appreciate our service. Then Cynwrig and I received our Awards of Arms, which means that we are now officially Lord Cynwrig and Lady Maaicke. Elena made us gorgeous scrolls, which special 'secret' Bork dudes hidden in the gold leaf - very cool! That seemed like more than enough excitement for one day - but then we were totally surprised to be given a Hero's Portion at feast. This is when a special dish is presented to the supposed heroes of the day. I've only seen them given to fighters in the past - often to the winners of the major tourneys of the day. So we were floored when we received an elegantly prepared and presented beef heart - the only hero's portion of the event. And yes, we actually did eat and enjoy it - and not only at feast. The leftovers made wonderful beef stroganoff the next day. Now that I think of it, it says something about Cleftlands that one can be a hero just for singing and marshaling and helping out.
