In the name of Lady Ealdormere and of the blessed northern
saints of the arts martial who are held in great esteem across the knowne
world, I, His Excellency Shahid al-Hasan, Baron of the great Barony of
Skraeling Althing, have, from the date of this present letter set my mind to
thoughts of the camaraderie of arms and of a deed to be preformed in the Barony
of Ben Dunfirth at the Murder Melee in the Meadow.
At said melee will I place by the contested field my shield,
that all may know my presence there, and this spot of ground I will defend from
all who may chose to contest me over it for the love of combat. All men and
women of good cote are invited to approach me and make upon me a request for
combat, with the weapons to be used and the form of the combat to follow to be
agreed upon by us both.
I shall hold this piece of ground from the hour of noon
until honour has been satisfied and strength has fled my sword-arm.
To add greater faith and security to this letter, I Shahid
al-Hasan have sealed it with the seal of my arms, written and dated from Skraeling
Althing, Thursday the 3rd day of June in the year 50.
