And I shouldn't forget the Crescents

[jducoeur]

I was a bit tired and braindead yesterday, and it occurs to me now that I didn't mention either of the Silver Crescents that folks here might know. During the morning court, Valerian (don't know if he has an LJ) was inducted into the order for his long service to Carolingia, and in the evening court, tashabear got summoned in (and ordered to read off the assorted graffiti on her dress, which is well worth hearing the translation of if you get a chance sometime). Congrats to both of them, and my apologies to any other friends I might be forgetting.

And of course, there was the big news of the evening, which came in a re-convened Court as people were leaving: Northern Shores is planning on going Principality. Since I've long been fairly loud (and sometimes negative) on the subject of Eastern principality movements, I should note that this one does sound like a good idea to me -- it makes more sense geographically than some proposals I've heard, and the region seems to have a decently cohesive sense of identity. So good luck to them on this rather long road...
