Gerhard Stormeclocke - Order of the Maunche

This Coronation day will be made better 

As Their Majesties East, stepped forward, none deny

Culann and Honig regal, without fetter. 

Now searching Settmour Swamp, one has caught Their eye  

Gerhard Stormeclocke; whose cookery does apply -

His inquiry, study: information sought

Through testing, tasting, sharing treats that come by 

From in his kitchens, those around him are taught

Demonstrating, from his hearth, generous thought 

Of information that he then dispenses. 

Today We've brought those that are in concordant, 

And the Order of the Maunche now does profess 

That this is his place, with a wholehearted yes! 

Joining this Order for Gerhard’s added much

Representation of Tyger Kingdom’s best 

He’s granted these Arms to be adorned as such:  

Lozengy argent and purpure, on a tower sable a lightning bolt Or.
