Phelippe le Vigneron - Order of the Maunche

King Donovan Shinnock, and Meghanta Padshah Begum of the East utter thus:
We are gathered at the feet of Tyger thrones
Distracted from mundane thoughts
About to sing praises as the time allots
Words to laud with infinite sweetness of tones 
Assembled artisans of the cogent arts
And elegant sciences, turn their gazes
And will dedicate these delicate praises
As a grand extension of Our loving hearts
We that are in pure honorable friendship: 
For one Phelippe le Vigneron whose skills bourne 
For that beauty be voiced with a song or quip, 
Of study on how materials are torn. 
As extends so he is granted membership
Into the Order of the Maunche here this morn
With Arms: Azure, three bunches of grapes one and two between three grape leaves, a bordure Or.
 As done today at Barony Bhakail,s Yule Revel, AS LX

Yasamin Al-Sardaniyya - Order of the Silver Brooch

If one does never want to be ruler, then never enter the tourney.
For without risk, King Donovan and Queen Meghanta would not be before us today at the Yule Revel of the Barony of Bhakail, this Anno Societatis LX
If clothes make the person, then those that make the clothes make the dream. 
For Yasamin al-Sardaniyya has expanded her creations with needle and thread.  Dressing herself and others to suit any situation. Proficiency expanded to match needs.
If one does well, one will have well. 
For Yasamin will ‘have well’ today indeed! Recognition brightly bestowed! And thus, We most happily present Yasamin Al-Sardaniyya the Silver Brooch

Eleanor de Astlye - Order of the Silver Brooch

What should these skills this manifold,   
Mean, this chill autumn day? 
After summer comes dark and cold 
Crafting under the candles’ sway 

Of the East Kingdom’s full compass
King Donovan and Queen
Mengha, both do concur en masse
Silver Brooch is hers. As We’ve seen

Her manner, method, mode and mind
Elenor’s ready to discern 
The more learned, the more she’s behind
And the more behind, more’s to learn!

As such at Hundred Minutes War
Rusted Woodlands Shire
We now have raised her to the fore: 
Eleanor de Astlye’s Brooch acquired
