Fighter Practice is going great. Thorgrim is doing a great job as our new Knight Marshall.
I have asked the Populace to consider contacting an officer for an office that they would be interested in to find out what the job entails. I further urged them to step up as a deputy if they would like to to build a depth in our Officer Corps. I further urged Officers to read their Kingdom and Society manuals and create a local summary or book for others to use.
