Brick James Beech - Order of the Silver Crescent

Often, have we heard of tales 
Listing how heroes prevail
How forged friendships made 
By battle's sharp blade 
But conduct’s reputation
Is not the whole notation
Now to expand on new exertions
That result in today's assertions. 
Over fifty score counted therein 
Forming a candid clamorous din 
State said subject, Brick James Beech 
Purpose of this pithy speech 
That few have seen his service 
his dogged preservice 
Meticulous notations
Of His sum calculations,
To provide opportunities planned
Offering sanctuary and land
Acting without attribution 
Always hunting for solutions
An Edifice after Our custom 
Before Us now, as Our exemplum;
Therefore King Donovan stands
With Queen Megha in  East’s lands
Regal Rulers stand forth proud 
View the summoned, are thus wowed
And grant with honor and pride
Silver Crescent as defined 
We see East’s splendour
Regard Brick a mirror 
That reflects on Us
And the populace

Michel Biornson - Order of the Silver Crescent

Silver Crescents sat in
Seats of assembly so
Figures featured for to
Find one that their ranks grow
Here where Hearth-ships dock 
Havens of Sinking swamp 
Great Gold givers Ryou 
Grand Indrakshi filled with  pomp 
Today turns Task of mind toward
Treasured Michel Biornson
Known for netting duties
Known to get what needs done 
Takes on tasks with his tools 
Trained to do every post 
So as said by Us now
Silver Crescent to boast
 With Arms as thus:
Per chevron inverted azure and sable, a bear statant in chief a rondel argent
Done Anno Socitittas LX
