Geirdis Geirhardadottir - Ordo Cygni (Drachenwald Backlog)

On this day, does the King and Queen of Drachenwald, Krake and Beatrix, offer praise to Their bright and accomplished subject, one Geirdis Geirhardadottir.

There are such items that have been brought to Us that We find too numerous to list in whole for the Court shall be regaled for eons. However some attention shall be drawn toward her lectures, instruction and dedication to the arts of the herbalist. Her whimsy and sense of entertainment found in games taught and produced. Such curiosities, dedication and sacrifice all point Us to the following conclusion:

That We, with the counsel and advice of the sages of the realm, Grant unto Geirdis Geirhardadottir the Ordo Cygni at this Midsummer Coronation, in the Shire of Adflumen Caerulum, this 21st of June, A.S. LX

Ivette of Worcester - Order of the Silver Wheel

Donovan! Mengha! Rule by course of law, 

Majesties looked at Hartshorn-dale and saw

Ivette, the one whose spirit is not quelled

In face of posts where water will not dwell,

Here she is known as one who quenches fire

The more it burns the more her desire

To maneuver complex tasks, as can be

Finding enjoyment as said appointee 

She works for shire and therefore, the East

A benefit to gentle, bird and beast

In this season, on a cold, frosty day 

We present the Silver Wheel with array     

An done as We have so commanded hence 

Ivette of Worcester’s advancement commence    

This Kingdom Rapier Champions Anno Societatis XL

Under the auspices as Baron of the Court!
