Nuada MacKensie - Order of the Furisine

The fire of Nuada MacKensie invigorates those in his presence.

For he knows that movement overwhelms a stagnant body.

When one has color in one’s face, one can maintain the fire in the heart!

Nuada knows the rules in movement and care in steps. That it is necessary for all limbs to show elegance, in such critical movement that relieves danger.

Supporting the art of fencing instructs all to have good character and company and enthusiasm

and teaches how the body can be protected.

Therefore, unto Nuada MacKensie, who teaches methods of honest wrestling,

instructs the power of body and mind and through that does make Our community as a whole better by aforementioned enthusiasm, do the most illustrious Baron and Baroness, Gerhardt and Amalie of Stonemarche dub him a member of Our Order of the Furisine.

As done at the Baronial Yule in the Barony of Stonemarche on this the thirteenth day of the Eighth month of the sixtieth Year of the Society.

Phelippe le Vigneron - Order of the Maunche

King Donovan Shinnock, and Meghanta Padshah Begum of the East utter thus:

We are gathered at the feet of Tyger thrones

Distracted from mundane thoughts

About to sing praises as the time allots

Words to laud with infinite sweetness of tones

Assembled artisans of the cogent arts

And elegant sciences, turn their gazes

And will dedicate these delicate praises

As a grand extension of Our loving hearts

We that are in pure honorable friendship:

For one Phelippe le Vigneron whose skills bourne

For that beauty be voiced with a song or quip,

Of study on how materials are torn.

Into the Order of the Maunche here this morn

With Arms: Azure, three bunches of grapes one and two between three grape leaves, a bordure Or.
