Wilhelm Zobel - Order of the Silver Tyger

This bright and busy day
Sees Donovan and Megha rule
With pomp and circumstance! They say
The one before Us is a jewel 
At this Coronation advent
Celebrating prowess in skirmish engagement 

For opponents he does quell

Taking on foes with skill and grace 

He is Wilhelm Zobel

Ever full of the battle’s embrace 

Receives the East’s Silver Tyger

In the Shire of Quintavia so conferred

With Arms: Ever more.

Michel Biornson - Silver Crescent

Silver Crescents sat in
Seats of assembly so
Figures featured for to
Find one that their ranks grow
Here where Hearth-ships dock 
Havens of Sinking swamp 
Great Gold givers Ryou 
Grand Indrakshi filled with  pomp 
Today turns Task of mind toward
Treasured Michel Biornson
Known for netting duties
Known to get what needs done 
Takes on tasks with his tools 
Trained to do every post 
So as said by Us now
Silver Crescent to boast
 With Arms as thus:
Per chevron inverted azure and sable, a bear statant in chief a rondel argent
Done Anno Socitittas LX

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
