Overlord Grant Challenge - Old Market

[Nat Candle]

While I realize that a new Overlord should be made official some time here in the near future (and many congratulations on that, Miss Ravenlock), there were certain caveats that Miss Farron placed on the offer of the grant in our painfully short conversation. I still feel honor bound to have my decision reflect that understanding even if alignments have changed since then or soon will.

Of those who were renegade to her, I still have a healthy respect and loyalty to Sabine for her good treatment of me as her Squire.

With that said, it feels both fair and sporting to seek a challenge for the one barony that has gone longest without a challenge or defense.

I challenge for Old Market.

Kids of Summer Foundation representative Gillian verch Madyn tacked up the following missive:

To Nat Candle,

On behalf of Baroness Lirssa al Amat, congratulations on the Overlord Grant! While the Baroness is unavoidably detained, the Foundation maintains every confidence that she will return, and that she will be delighted to meet you for the challenge.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Sincerely,

Kids of Summer Foundation Board

((Due to current storylines, Lirssa is not available to accept this IC, however the challenge is accepted, and I am confident timelines will be resolved to fulfill this challenge. If Nat would contact me via PMs, we’ll work out the schedule! Cheers! ))

[Nat Candle]

The challenge has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 9th at the 10 o'clock bell.

The charming and beautiful Eden has agreed to officiate.
