: : Detta måste tas upp till omröstning i kabinettet.
: : Hälsningar från Count Torby
: What a magnificent idea!
: It´s so good that it could almost have been my own.
: I strongly support this idea, and I look forward, with great interest,
: in the development and outcome of this idea.
: Actually I´ve found traces
: in our historical recordings of a knight´s order which went under the name of:
: "Eye of the blackbird" ("svarttrost" in norwegian, "Koltrast" in swedish, Strindberg called it "Solsvarten" (sunblack)).
: It seems the blackbird were a newcomer in the nordic lands at that time,
: and that Ladonian territory were the first soil which it landed on.
: I have not had any luck in establishing the excact year when this occured,
: but my department is busy right now with comparing our archives with the archives
: of other nordic countries.
: (I hope I´m excused if using the term "Other nordic countries" is offensive to anyone).
: In modern time there has been another knight´s order established by
: 7 boy scouts on the Ladonian shore, 11th of june in the year 1931.
: They called themeselves "The protectors of the alphabet",
: and took on secret identities like: A, B, C and so on.
: They seem to have taken special interest in the letter "L".
: There are records of them during WWII,
: when they smuggled coffee over to the occupied nation of Norway.
: After the war all tracks of them are lost.
: This was a small note of support and information
: from Trond Ivar Hansen,
: Head secretary of the special state office of nomads,
: under the excellent department of history.
: Magister mundi sum
Is there a date set for this votation? Anyway, I thank you for your support.
