Jotun Eirkr Bjarnason - Order of the Maunche

Here at Falling Leaves in the Barony of Carolingia, Their Majesties East, Ryouko'jin Saisei, Demon-King of the Three Heavens, and  Maharani Indrakshi, Horned Queen of the Night Sky Have this to say about Jotun-Eirkr Bjarnason:
This gentle strikes a pose in dignity
And is understood to play many parts
His presence here is as the awardee 
That will gladden the populace’s hearts 
Spending decades honing performance craft
Ease in the comic or dramatic mask
Refined the art of passions telegraphed
Live or, ethereal, no matter the task
But Beyond myriad skilled performance
His support and acts behind the curtain 
As occurred both after and in advance
Have so impressed and left Us most certain 
    Our praise for dedication of his range 
    Highlights this one who embodies the stage 

As such We now grant Jotun-Eirkr-Bjarnason a place amongst the Order of the Maunche with arms, to wit: Vert, two axes in saltire addorsed surmounted by a double-bitted axe palewise, in chief three mullets, all within a bordure Or.
