  • Further Emprise details are to be discussed at an Emprise specific meeting Tuesday June 14th at Master Sean's house.
  • Discussion about having Procession at mid-day again. Pro's and Con's mentioned. Leaning towards keeping Procession as a morning affair.
    • This still includes both Fighters and Archers.
  • Guillaume mentioned the need of Gate Keeper.
  • Awards given by Guild are only for Champions of each of the events or as the Guild sees fit. All other awards will need to come from elsewhere.
  • Guillaume will share a DOC On Link about all things Emprise. Linkage coming soon.
• Discussion about the possibility of having a Baronial EQ Officer.
  • What that would include? How does that effect the Guild?
  • Consideration is due to the combative status of the Guild. It could be deemed appropriate to report directly to Their Excellencies like the Fighters, Rapier and Archers.
  • Guillaume will follow up with Cire.
• Yearly Guild Election
  • Johannes receives most votes and Guillaume receives second most votes (7:6).
