Taxes – Due at Lady Mary, 2023

I’d like to thank all who paid last year’s Baronial tax, to perform a service for another. This year’s tax is a challenge to extol the merits of their fellow Rising Waters nobles (or the community itself) in a boast – either recorded, live in a virtual context, or written in an email to Her Excellency.
