<P>Last evening, I was invited to attend a Knighting Ceremony held by the Royal Knights of Redemption in the Newcastle Municipal Hall. Chancellor Max von Bayer, White Bryony, Zeph Wightfyre and I witnessed Prafectus Oona promote Squire Kallviels to a Knight, entitled 'Zealot'.  Arzakon Smash also earned a promotion from 'Dragoon' to 'Dextra', Oona's right-hand man.</P>

<P>Undermarshal Ariakas, Onna's second in command, stepped forward and surprised the Prafectus by announcing that the Knights wished Oona to become 'Templar'.  'Templar' was the title held by the late Ren the Conjuror during his tenure as leader of the Knights, a label that Oona has been reluctant to accept.  However, the faith that the Knights place in Oona's leadership encouraged her to embrace her rightful designation.</P>

<P>With their new ranks and titles properly displayed on their uniforms, Oona declared that 'the drinks were on her' at the Wild Rose Inn and Café.  As Arzakon jovialy proceeded to race Scoob to the bottom of the nearest bottle of spirits; I asked her how she felt about the promotion, she said <I>"I am most proud of my Knights and the citizens of Newcastle.  With my dying breath, I will see that both continue to prosper."</I></P>

<P>As we sat there trading quips and enjoying the evening's company, a strange man in a lavender cloak came into the tavern claiming to have news of <I>"something to the south"</I> and saying that wolves were out to get him.  Shortly thereafter, a wolf (the one who has been stalking the citizens of Newcastle since before Yule) appeared and menaced the man.   The wolf proceeded to chase him around the Inn's café until Ariakas was able to shoo it away.</P>
 
<P>Unfortunately, the wolf didn't stay gone for long and returned to bite the man on the leg. Again, the Knights tried to rid themselves of the vile creature, Malag-aste received a vicious bite to the face while trying to banish it with a torch.  This seemed to cause the wolf to discorporate, as it didn't bother the Knights the rest of the evening. The strange man then retired to a room in the Inn above.</P>
 
<P>My evening continued to get interesting however, as my horse CythRi decided that a command to come to me somehow meant <I>"run away to the south and get a snack."</I> After tracking her down and feeding her a carrot, life was contented again. I wish to congratulate Templar Oona on her new position, and hope the Knights continue to stand in defense of the Kingdom.
