Kathrine of Owlsherst - Award of Arms

Done First Court, under East's Sky 
Coronation hosted by 
Settmour Swamp, the place as Called 
For All to watch, now enthralled 
For Footwork with growing skill 
Sets to hone the fencer’s will 
In fact she's become immersed 
That's Our Katherine of Owlherst 
Research for diverse kitchens 
Cooking in all conditions
We perceive and would propel 
Praise for people that excel

Keep a close watch and have seen 
She has clout fierce, as We've learned

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

Word count 81
