Bran mac Cianain - Tygers Combattant

Cry! Swords of Bran mac Cianain 
That’s served Us so well 
Great guarding and champion 
On you We will dwell 

Praise by peers is positive 

His field finesse fine 

Lauded for long sword labors 

Treds the tygers line 

Our Rex et Rex Consorte 

Tindal! Emerson! 

Ardent Eastern Royalty 

Will this day have done 

 Now, a proud presentation: 

Tygers Combattant

At Balfar’s best competition 

Thus We Therefore Grant 

These Arms: Quarterly sable and argent, two suns Or and two stags rampant gules, a chief checky sable and argent.
