Greetings,

This Saturday i was fighting at Antir West War on Saturday Afternoon I
suffered from a heat related injury and took my armour off on the field
prior to being treated by the chiurgeons. Following that treatment I
went
back to my campsite to get out of the sun. During the evening some one
took
my armour and a number of peoples weapons from the field. I questioned
every
person I know and none of them had picked my armour up and I waited at
to be
the last person to leave the site on case some one picked it up by
accident
and was going to turn it in to lost and found. No one did turn it in and
with the other weapon disapearances at this event I can only assume it
has
been stolen.

TO whoever stole my armour and is sitting back laughing your head off
while
reading this. Let me just say that to steal an injured fighters armour
brands you as the lowest form of scum. And I strongly hope that those
who
value the ideals of honor in our society treat you as the cur you are.

I would greatly appriciate it if those of you with acess to other
Kingdom E
Lists could post the following and also keep an eye out for anyone
selling
used armour in thier kingdoms:
