Our Crown 
Winter has come to the Kingdom, you, the nobles, are no doubt busy managing their estates, their great halls enjoy the sound of winter banquets and jovial indoor gaming. The Knights and noble warriors also see to the repair of their harness after many wars and tournaments enjoyed during the spring, summer, and autumn.
In our towns, the merchants sell their excess stock and make deals to warehouse the crops that were harvested in the autumn. Rents are paid to the nobles by merchants and commoners alike. With more fairs appearing in Terre Neuve a change for greater prosperity is at hand.
In the farms, livestock is slaughtered for meat, smokehouses finish the last of the smoking. The farmers and we nobles enjoy fine meat like ham and sausage. The locals spin and weave to make heavy clothing for the winter. All is serenity.
As we, Queen Giulianna II and I, King Johan von Hohenstaufen III, relax and reflect in Schloss von Rammstein (Her Majesty's Castle in the South of the Kingdom) and Schloss von Hohenstaufen (My Castle in the extreme north of the Kingdom), we are grateful for all the help and good fellowship you have given to us this past several months. Your help made this part of the reign a great success, and we look forward to seeing you all in the months to come.
In the coming weeks, we will have the Royal 12th Night Feast. It will be on January 3rd and it will be a grad competition of culinary skills pitting His Grace Sir Coda von Rammstein, His Grace Sir Tailan Bran McNeil, and Sir Finn against each other. Who will be this year’s greatest of chefs? Come to the feast to find out. Send us your RSVP to Elizabeth of Blackpool.
From Queen Giulianna de Messina and me, King Johan “Warhammer” von Hohenstaufen, we wish you a merry and safe holiday season.
The Kingdom of Terre Neuve is a chapter of the Adrian Empire inc. occupying the geographic entirety of San Diego and Imperial Counties in Calilfornia, USA.
The Adrian Empire is a non-profit educational organization that re-creates history from the time frame of 793 to 1625 AD. This time frame covers what was known as the Middle Ages (Medieval) through the Renaissance period.
Every month we have tournaments which in addition to event service (we call it ministry) include unchoreographed Combat, Archery and Arts & Sciences competitions.
The Adrian Empire is an educational organization so we are often asked to run and participate in demonstrations at schools, libraries, renaissance faires, living history festivals and The San Diego Comic Convention.
