Ghaliya bin Jusef - Order of the Keystone Æthelmearc

Ghaliya bin Jusef’s been found a treasure,

Located in the Kingdom Æthelmearc 

One whose passionate drive fits the measure 

Royals Oliver and Grainne have marked

Her for assiduously working 

And she is one who has reached a benchmark

For prepping and cleaning, never shirking 

Myriad tasks landing from dusk to dawn

Managing to frolic with the bowstring

Thus Our Majesties, prompted to action

Today present Ghaliya the Keystone

At Pennsic! These annals have been set on

This August 2nd, As it is now known

And given with all trimmings and trappings

Of Armaments, as is Our great pleasure

As Royalty and pulls on Our heartstrings

Done Anno Societatis, Sixty One

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

That's not the shape

The shape of my BLOG

Ixac ben Simone - Writ for Pelican

Magnificent Majesties Oliver and Grainne of Æthelmearc, make morning’s mists melt and the sun move through midday to this mellifluous moment. 

A moment memorializing how Ixac models manner in mindfulness as Baron for many months, with more waiting to materialize, as the Minister and manager of Our land-mass of Delftwood. 

If there’s a free moment, as affirmed by the masses, he becomes motivated, and thus molds his muscles to help move matériel anywhere it needs must be.

Today is but a moment in the meadows and moors of the Shire of Steltonwald, as he’s embraced by members of Our Order Pelican. 

This moment has been put in motion this day, May, the 16th, AS 61, Our machinations motivated from Our mouths to mandate, at an impending time, as yet unsaid.  Moreover unto Ixac ben Simone We say:

    There once was a man from Æthelmearc    

    Whose service has achieved a benchmark  

    We’ll have the most fun

    Asking a question

    And getting answered on this remark

Daniel Duinnshleibhe - Order of the Golden Alce Æ

King Oliver and Queen Grainne this day

Stand in Æthelmearc midst this fine array 

And call for one so sly and fine of kit 

We are full of praise for one of his wit 

Daniel come nearer, as We will it be

For there’s words to say that We both agree

In fighting he is made well acquitted 

With elegant grace, earnest spirited

Thus has earned the Golden Alce By Our will

Successful praises go out as is planned

Sixtieth anniversary of our Society

At Our War Practice midst much gaiety
