  • 12th Night (The Steppes)
    • entered Sable Talon original scroll competition:  did not win; but was asked by the laurel-in-charge to re-create my scroll for a grant-level award instead, because (she said) it was too fancy and pretty to be an AOA-level award.  Hee!

  • threw together a new and more cohesive feast gear collection (red/gold)
