Hosted by House Von Draken, a combination of biannual Markland business meeting and medieval feast.  At this event, Pirates of the Lost Cause became an official Markland group.  In the evening, over yet another plentiful feast provided by Duke Kyrin, we were officially hazed by other groups in Markland.  The tables were turned on our pirate ways when the contents of our entire dinner table completely disappeared.  In exchange for our banner, we accepted a challenge to face all the Vikings of Markland on the battlefield at the next Holy War.  Harth accepted in the only way he could: by wearing Galatia's banner in the most "Cliffy" way possible.  Duke Kyrin called us forward with warm wishes to the group that was born out of Von Draken, and presented our Captain with a ceremonial cutlass.  All in all, one of the most entertaining (and exhausting) feasts we've ever attended.
