Kumahito no Masamori - Award of Arms

On the grassy banks
At the Wars of the River
Stands Ryouko'jin 
Demon-King of Three Heavens
And Indrakshi, Our
Hor-ned Queen of the Night Sky
Ruling together
Over the Blue Tyger’s path
They note this gentle 
Often silent, but flitting
Fluttering about
Helping as needs, where he can 
Moved by such actions
Award of Arms is bestowed 
Kumahito no Masamori 
Ennobled by Our decree 

Now with Arms: Sable, in fess two moths, heads to center, Or

Done this Anno Societatis LX, in the East’s great Barony of Iron Bog

Sága mac Cianain - Tygers Combattant

 It is said: When one reaches the East, the East becomes home
Their Royal Majesties, true representatives of the People of the East, stand before the court: Ryouko'jin Saisei, Demon-King of the Three Heavens, and Maharani Indrakshi, Horned Queen of the Night Sky

It is said: That death may be renewed, but does not make one sleep on the field.

Sága mac Cianain has made their presence known. Taking to battle with deliberation and delight. A formidable opponent and worthy of today’s accolade in all its aspects.

It is said: Wherever you go, there you are

Today in Settmour Swamp, at Ducal Challenge,Their Majesties see fit to grant the Order, of the Ryger’s Combattant unto Sága mac Cianain with these arms: Argent, in abyss a shrike rising wings addorsed sable, in nombril a shotel fesswise reversed gray, within a bordure rayonny sable
