Lionsdale gets its Borders

The Canton of Lionsdale got its borders at Eisenmarche Shire Banquet in a private meeting with the leaders of the Branches of Lion’s Gate, Eisenmarche, and Lionsdale: Baroness Amanda Kendal (Lion’s Gate), Duke Darius and Duchess Morgaine (Eisenmarche), Eric of Clan Smith (Eisenmarche), and Kieran Gunn (Lionsdale). Negotiations were swift and to the point as everyone was in agreement as to where Lionsdale will fit in to the future principality of the North. At present Lionsdale is believed to include the municipalities of Mission, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack, which includes a number of wonderful event sites and enough populace to make up a Barony. Our borders will include those areas mentioned above as well as the the town of Hope as well as the wilderness that stretches about half way to Princeton and Merritt, British Columbia. What this means for the Canton, is that we can find out which SCA members live within our borders and then poll them so now we can give Kingdom our collective feelings about our branch’s elevation to Shire status. The Populace of Lionsdale should now be able to rest assured as we now have borders that define where we live and not who we are. These borders will require maintanance as well as the need for an army to defend them so keep training and study hard.
