Kathrine of Owlsherst - Award of Arms

Done First Court, under East's Sky 

Coronation hosted by 

Settmour Swamp, the place as Called 

For All to watch, now enthralled 

For Footwork with growing skill 

Sets to hone the fencer’s will 

In fact she's become immersed 

That's Our Katherine of Owlherst 

Research for diverse kitchens 

Cooking in all conditions

We perceive and would propel 

Praise for people that excel

King Culann with Honig Queen

Keep a close watch and have seen 

She has clout fierce, as We've learned

Gerhard Stormeclocke - Order of the Maunche

This Coronation day will be made better 

As Their Majesties East, stepped forward, none deny

Culann and Honig regal, without fetter. 

Now searching Settmour Swamp, one has caught Their eye  

Gerhard Stormeclocke; whose cookery does apply -

His inquiry, study: information sought

Through testing, tasting, sharing treats that come by 

From in his kitchens, those around him are taught

Demonstrating, from his hearth, generous thought 

Of information that he then dispenses. 

Today We've brought those that are in concordant, 

And the Order of the Maunche now does profess 

That this is his place, with a wholehearted yes! 

Joining this Order for Gerhard’s added much

Representation of Tyger Kingdom’s best 

He’s granted these Arms to be adorned as such:  

Lozengy argent and purpure, on a tower sable a lightning bolt Or.

Laura of Carolingia - Award of Arms

Here are the observations of Laura of Carolingia, made and composed at the request of Their Royal Majesties Donovan and Meghanta of this Eastern Kingdom; and for the use and good inspiration of anyone who is listening today.

 For her natural enthusiasm, intellect and delight in taking up varied positions and amusements within the communities found in the Shire of Hartshorn-dale

Thus, and decked with the attire of authority, do We, praise said Enthusiasm, Dedication, and Constancy of Contribution of Laura of Carolingia with her Award of Arms and all that holds therein:
