Unto the Academy of Defence of the Kingdom of Drachenwald, our Sovereign Rulers of the same, and all nobles and attendants of their court, do I Baron Nicholas de Estleche dictus le Tardif, Prefect of the said Academy, Companian of the Silver Guard and the Fox &c, send greetings.

I hereby make known my intent to sponsor Hlǣfdige Rebeeca Stormwiga of Flinthǣþ, Holegncwēn Gēolġebēorscipes, Provost of the Academy to play her prize for the rank of Prefect of the Acedemy at St.Bede’s Fair to be held at Bourn in the county of Flinthǣþ on the final weekend of May next.

May those who would stand as examiner make themselves known unto. Let all who would test her as she holds the field assemble at the appointed place and at the appointed time. Let all who would witness her skill and prowess gather likewise.

Let those who would face her pray for a clear sky, for should the storm accompany her, Rebecca shall lay low those who stand against her as wheat in the field, and wrest the trees from the soil so that nothing shall stand above her.

Writ this eleventh day of December anno scoietatis 59 at Utbech

In service,

Nicholas de Estleche
