Rand Helston al’Tan and Valentina Eglantine no Mereliot Helston al’Tan are joyful to announce the birth of their children!

Juliet al’Tan came into this world vibrant and healthy at seven thirty five in the morning, weighing six pounds one ounce. Mere minutes later, her brother Mat al’Tan joined her, quieter and smaller at five pounds fourteen ounces, but no less healthy.

The family is well, resting and recovering at home. They will have little to nothing to ask for, but if you are so inclined, make a donation to the Kids of Summer in their names.

Rand and Val,

Many congratulations on the birth of your children, Juliet and Mat. I hope they will have long lives, filled with good health and happiness.

Donations will be made in each of their names. It is my custom to present protective charms made in the form of my house's sigil, the unicorn, to the parents of newborns. I hope that you will accept these charms and fasten them to the beds of your little ones.

With love,

Colleen

Accompanying the note was a box with two blown glass unicorns. Each was affixed to a gold ribbon and inscribed with the first initial of each of the twins.
