We, Cameron and Amalie, wish to thank the Shire of Dragonsmark and the Barony of Flame for hosting the Border Raids event this weekend.  Many battles were fought and won, and though it was cool and rainy - a true fighting spirit ruled the day.

Many thanks to Baroness Sybella of Dragonsmark, the event steward, and her staff for the accommodations and wonderful work on the event.
