Violet Grey - The Order of the Silver Brooch

Our eyes search for those that have excelled

They that form beauty that reflects their heart 

Everything that Our Violet Grey has held

Has become fine and celebrated art

This public honor, that is proud to boast

Bestowed by Royals Culann and Honig 

In Barony Carillion, Our set host

At Southern Region War Camp this late spring

Through her creations We have seen her skill

With successful and manifold approach 

We admire and praise all that she’s built 

Now to present Violet with Silver Brooch 

  The Myriad forms of Violet Grey’s art

Are the best exemplar of the East’s heart

Talon Van Horne - Award of Arms

From The East Kingdom Tales:

Prologue of Talon’s Tale

There’s one here in An Dub, that Ducks bespoke

We are happiest today to invoke 

Certain he will laugh and be of good cheer,

As to this tale, that you all shall next hear. 

Here beginneth Talon’s Tale

Woe to the cook, unless his sauces were

Pungent and sharp! And ready is his gear!

Their halls set with tables must be ready!

Brimming savory food, safe and steady

When orchestrated by Talen Van Horne

There is no woe! His food’s fine ev’ry morn

He has been set to serve for decades hence

But now it is known, his drive’s still intense

Culann and Honig Eastern Majesties

On this day of Crown Tourney are most pleased

Use processes and procedures to gift

This gentle with Award of Arms as fit

Talen’s love is seen through what he does neat 

As is the bee hive full of honey sweet.

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.

Shannon inghean Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin - Order of the Silver Wheel

Far and wide Shannon’s wandered 

Now settled, We’ve watched her words

As she comes before crowds

Calling loud, and heard in clouds

More than solely moments stood

She’s maker of many goods

Now does East discern her flame,

Dedication deserves acclaim

King Donovan presides court

With Megha Queen, the consort

Together, ruling Tygers

Track her trails so to praise her: 

Shannon inghean Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin

Recipient of the Silver Wheel

 As done in the Barony of Stonemarche at BIRKA, AS LX
