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.

Daven MacKeannaugh - Order of the Sycamore

We, the great Majesties Kallista and Andreas of the Sylvan Throne of Æthelmearc, on this the twenty fifth day of the tenth month of Year of the Society, LX, have this to say on the following acquisition of Daven MacKeannaugh
Today’s Sycamore Causation: 
Daven’s numerous Creations.
After some Deliberation 
All feel The Royal Elation! 
We need Familiarization 
of his fierce Imagination! 
Imagine Our Jubilation
Of this Laudation
For today’s motivation 
At Agincourt, this Notation
He’ll receive standing Ovation
After this glad Proclamation
For his fine Qualifications 
With all Ramifications
And so in final In Summation
We laud his bardic Vocation

Michel Biornson - Order of the 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
