Eyia Refr - Silver Brooch

 Brennan, King to Caoilfhionn, Queen, sat with Their courtiers in Royal Court, They called forth a gentle in fine raiment to the cushions afore Their thrones. Therein the herald spoke these quatrains while all the court listened:
In this lovely land We live
In well known East, We will give
Award to one whose art earned
Silver Brooch for those skills learned
Presented to Eyia Refr with praise
Arms in array, hers always
Azure, a fox courant argent within a bordure counter-compony sable and argent
Done today with decorous intent
at GNEW AS 58, in Malagentia
