ATVAGAS (College Club, MGC, Cochran)

We knocked on the dorm-room doors, but everyone had left for the holidays.

CAMDEN TOR

Apparently, that new MERIDIAN baby is taking up all of their letter-writing time. <g>

DRAGONFLY MARSH

Lord Bjorn was surprised to discover something in his stocking this season.  Earl Michael informed him that it was his foot.

(Okay, we just can't pick on you too much, since some of you Dragonflies actually keep in touch on a regular basis, news or not. Thanks, guys! - Assistant Editor)

FORTH CASTLE

That jolly old elf has visited Forth Castle this year, and...oops!  Sorry, Your Highness!

RAVENWOOD

...stole Tir Briste's money!  And thus gets a lump of coal…(Editor's Note: Camp Okitayakani accidentally sent them Tir Briste's deposit refund from Champions' List.  Bran and Pelika thought they struck it rich. <g>)

RIVERMARCH

Serafin would like to warn House Bohun not to feed mini-Murchadh after dark...they fed theirs late evening once, and you see how big and uppity it got…

SOL HAVEN

Mistress Bronwen turned up on Santa's Naughty List this year and is thus getting LOTS of presents (no, no, the OTHER kind of naughty, Ulrich!).

TIR BRISTE

Lady Marie denies the rumors that she's married to Santa Claus….it's pure coincidence that Cleatus happens to wear red-and-white armor.

VIRIDIAN FJORD

It is with this message I wish to invite you and all of our consortium friends and kinfolk to a regional fighter practice, we are holding this on Saturday the 5th of January 2002. It will be in Bainbridge at the Earl May Boat Basin and Park. It is slated to begin around 10 am and run until. We are going to have some kind of fund raiser lunch but have not as of yet decided what it is to be. But be assured it will not be over 3 dollars for drink food and all. As for directions they are as follow best route to Bainbridge. If by Highway 27 North Or South Look for the Shotwell Street exit get off there if from north it will put you right out in front of Earl May Park if from South exit and take a left pass beneath by pass the park will be on your right. If from Higway 84 Simply pass straight through Bainbridge on what is Shotwell street, you will pass a DairQueen restraunt on your left, pass it about 3/4ths a mile on the right is the park. It is my hopes that you wil be able to attend and consider this as an invitation to all of the Consortium.

WHITE BUCK FOREST

In a display of chivalry, the members of White Buck Forest offered to pull Santa' sleigh after the reindeer came down with a case of Antlerthrax.
