Taxes

I’d like to thank all who paid last year’s Baronial tax, a challenge to the barony’s bardic skill.  This year’s tax is to perform a service for another. If you have a service performed for you, please let me know by whom and what service they performed so that I may mark their taxes as paid. 

Court Herald
