"I was making gingerbread stars for the Princess' Tea at Wiesenfeuer Yule, and it occurred to me-- the people of Vindheim are like the stars of a constellation. Everyone has their place-- in a good, belonging kind of way-- and being able to look out at the people and see the familiar faces is as reassuring as being able to look up into a familiar night sky. At the same time, the people of Vindheim themselves are each like their own individual constellations. Each person is different, and is made up of their own special mix of interests, pursuits, and prowess, and that makes us each unique. But the things we pursue and spend our energy on cultivating--- when I see those patterns in those around me, it's like recognizing the stars of a familiar constellation. It was good to see everyone yesterday. Thank you for sharing the day with us. Thank you for being the stars in my sky." -''D'' | "I was making gingerbread stars for the Princess' Tea at Wiesenfeuer Yule, and it occurred to me-- the people of Vindheim are like the stars of a constellation.

Whispers on the Wind: February Issue
Greetings to the People of Vindheim!
Gulf Wars is nigh! We hope to see everyone in our fair Principality at Gulf Wars and know we'll have a fantastic time supporting the Kingdom at War. With fighters of all types, our talented artisans, and those who give so much of their time in service to make the War run well, the Principality will show the Known World what we can do. For those for whom this is their first Gulf Wars, and for the rest of us who haven't been in a few years, be sure to bring clothing for all types of weather. Remember to stay hydrated. Enjoy your shopping. And be certain to share your enthusiasm and goodwill with all you meet.
Travel safely,

The Words of the Populace
Marcus von Furth
(December 18, 2021) What a wonderful weekend! I'm honored and humbled to be Vindheim's premier rapier champion. Now that I've had some time to relax and gather my thoughts, I'd like to thank/recognize a few people who made the day special: Lord Saevarr - for giving me such a wonderful fight in the finals. Don Cornelius Meriläinen for making it in the top three, and Master Orlando Giovanni for being our deadly bye. All were challenging and kept me on my feet. A HUGE thank you to Lyra for serving as our Marshall in charge and a big thanks to our two lovely list mistresses Dominique Michelle le Vasseur and Caterina Giovanni di Gilead. Thank you to Lady Ashildr inn Harfagri for arranging the live feed and to all the other goblins who pitched in and made the day so enjoyable! Thank you to Duchess Margherita de Mantua for setting up and running the Vindheim Princess' Tea. Thank you to Wiesenfeuer and Their Excellencies for hosting the Princess' Blade tournament. Finally, my biggest thank you goes to Her Highness, Deanna, for gifting us the inspiration and grace for Her tournament.

| Allergies: | Deanna: allergies to pistachios, horses, cats, and almond milk. | |
| Food Preferences: | ||
| Beverage Preferences: | ||
| Persona: | ||
| Colors: | Romanius: The colors of Vindheim! (He's also fond of lion and scorpion motifs.) | |
| Interests: | ||
| Other: | Romanius doesn't do well in cold weather. So his likes would be things that bring warmth. A lot of people don’t have a lot of Vindheim wearables yet. So donations/largess of wearables, accessories, etc, with Vindheim visual motifs would be especially appreciated. |
Deanna enjoys things that makes scribes happy! |
