Minister of Youth
2006-07-11Lady Onnen merch Dinogad, mother of two young and oh-so-adorable girls, recently expressed her interest to the seneschal in the position of Youth Minister for the Shire of Vanished Wood.

A horse, a horse, my chatelain for a horse.
2006-07-10During the last gathering of the populace of Vanished Wood, it was revealed that the current chatelain, Vladimir, is in reality...a horse.

It was shortly after the new seneschal announced to the group that she would be unable to attend the upcoming demo, that the chatelain broke the news. "I will go as your steed", he said, or words to that affect. With an equine member amonst us, it was only a matter of time before Erc suggestted we appoint an Officer for Equestrian Activities. Needless to say, there were no volunteers.

Spin Me A Web
2006-06-17Meurig ap Cynfarch takes over from Lord Aldred of Ascalon as the Webminister of the Shire of Vanished Wood. He brings to the position strong skills in web design, including PHP and database programming. Add the mix a vivid imagination and a wicked sense of humour, the shire may live to regret the day they gave him a password....
