Notable events: The 92nd Reign of the Middle Kingdom had a Russian Flair, Their Majesty's personas being 14th century Kiev, they chose to be referred to as Tsar and Tsarina.

For the reign they presented children with gifts in court (coloring books and bagged toys as well as cute little flannel Babushka dolls for infants) and coins for newcomers, which has been done in many reigns past, but added giving out dragon bottle openers to anyone who has been in the SCA for 25 years or more.

Their Majesties also took a 'thumbs up' family photo at almost every event they attended, and almost every event their daughters, the Princesses Royale Lynette la Rousse and Lily Carver, who traveled with them and did great distinction to their role as Princesses Royale.

For Their Arts Champion, Their Majesties decided to hold three separate competitions for three champions, each competition had a theme.

The first "Green" was held at RUM, the second "Heart" was held at Kingdom 12th Night and the Third "Courage" was held at Grand Tournament of the Unicorn.
