As some of you have heard, there is a conflict for the date of theEmprise of the Black Lion.
Kingdom Bardic Competition is taking place in Lion's Gate on the same day. Due to the fact this Kingdom Level event rests on the boundary of our region, the Crown feels that this is close enough to impact Kingdom Bardic's attendance.

Several other options were looked into; none of them proved to be a viable resolution to the problem. In the best interest of our branch, our relations with our neighbors, and our investment of time; I asked the Crown for a definitive answer to our problem.

I spoke with the new Crown at July Coronation.
The Crown has directed the Shire of Wyewood to cancel Emprise of the Black Lion and to not have an event in conflict with Kingdom Bardic. The Crown was very apologetic for having to do so. The Crown finds no fault in Wyewood's event, it's autocrat, or it's behavior.
This is solely an issue with a date conflict.

There is a silver lining to this dark cloud.
Once again Wyewood is on the cutting edge of An tir Policy change!
Their Majesties have expressed a strong desire to find a solution to the Western Region Calendar problem. It is my hope that with Their backing, the Western Region might once and for all find a solve the calendar problem.

My thanks to everyone who has been patient through out this process.

As an official statement...
The Shire of Wyewood has cancelled the Emprise of the Black Lion.

In service to Kingdom and Shire,
Sebastian ffraser
Seneschal for the Shire of Wyewood.
