Marcus Atilius Pansa - Maunche

Tindal and Emerson the Kings of Marcus 

And the whole of the East Kingdom Republic.

Whether he penetrates Our Malagentia,

where the Eastern waves strike the shore

Or goes abroad, whatever the will of War 

Be. His focus then turns to that of the scribe

with deep resonance in aesthetic passions.

Today, let him live and be joyous with the Maunche - 

Our Order that emphatically lauds artistic and

Scientific endeavors of the East and 

Celebrates our Marcus Atilius Pansa

Today in Anno Societatis LIX

Caden of Brighton Manor - Award of Arms

Today at Great Northeastern War
In Malagentia where Tygers roar
Words have come to us,Tindel and 
Emerson, Their Majesties grand.
Hearing missives throughout Our East
Of one whose dance skills have increased 
That Caden of Brighton Manor
Sews, weaves! Such skills he does accrue
For his Award of Arms we’re proud
As such We’ll now have it endowed
*space for arms *
And so forget you, We’ll never do!
The East Kingdom applauds for you!

Amaris Taranis Gremlin - Award of Arms

In Malagentia, most fair 

At GNE the Kings care

Right Rulers seek to assuage 

Tindal, Emerson thus engage 

Amaris Taranis Gremlin 

Who’s before Us, so begin: 

Person of Our populous 

And keeper of confidence 

Their wide span of support shows 

Lasting labor as time flows

For attending all affairs 

The Award of Arms is theirs

Wry East wethers all weather 

Such good gentles we treasure

We know they'll endure and shine

From their start through A.S. Fifty Nine
