Wentlyanna Bengrek - Silver Rapier

We great Khan, Kaiser and King, Ioannes Aurelius Serpentius
And his Consort, Czarina and Crowned-Queen Ro Honig von Sommerfeldt
Their Imperial Majesties of the Magnificent Manors of the East
Look for those that have the wherewithal to work, with wisdom and war.

All the arts of altercation are ancillary to our auspices
Forward to those fields, we have followed one Wentlyanna Benegrek
Teaching, training and fighting with truculence.

Her passion for the progeny of the East is previously known to us
We have seen her temper that devotion and turn it toward fencing
Teaching tots the trade of flashing blades,

She has travelled toward home and far throughout our terrain
Seeking to study at sundry masters’ sides.
Honing her handicraft in hall and heat of battle

Wentlyanna is fervorous on the field, a fear to her foes.
She marshals and maintains order without mendacity
Attending to her affiliates and adolescents on the acreage of battle

At Our indulgence, we include Wentlyanna Benegrek in the
Order of the Silver Rapier

Done this day June 3rd AS 52, in the Barony of Bhakail

I was delighted to find out that my friend Wentlyanna was getting this award. I happened to know that she was focusing on her work in the fending community and hoped that this would please her.

Previously, I was the wordsmith for her Court Barony and I was delighted for another opportunity to write more words for her.  

The subjects I chose to emphasize were her prowess on the field, Youth Fencing, and willingness to travel to teach and play.

I chose to do it in Beowulf’s alliterative text. I did not give myself any limit on the syllables per line and it shows.  This is one of my wordier ones.

Thankfully the Illuminator/Scribe, Æsa Sturludottir  was able to accommodate the ton of words that I used.

The award was given out at Bhakail Investiture and K&Q Rattan Champions
