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

Jotun Eirkr Bjarnason - Order of the Maunche

Here at Falling Leaves in the Barony of Carolingia, Their Majesties East, Ryouko'jin Saisei, Demon-King of the Three Heavens, and  Maharani Indrakshi, Horned Queen of the Night Sky Have this to say about Jotun-Eirkr Bjarnason:
This gentle strikes a pose in dignity
And is understood to play many parts
His presence here is as the awardee 
That will gladden the populace’s hearts 
Spending decades honing performance craft
Ease in the comic or dramatic mask
Refined the art of passions telegraphed
Live or, ethereal, no matter the task
But Beyond myriad skilled performance
His support and acts behind the curtain 
As occurred both after and in advance
Have so impressed and left Us most certain 
    Our praise for dedication of his range 
    Highlights this one who embodies the stage 

As such We now grant Jotun-Eirkr-Bjarnason a place amongst the Order of the Maunche with arms, to wit: Vert, two axes in saltire addorsed surmounted by a double-bitted axe palewise, in chief three mullets, all within a bordure Or.

Done in the Sixtieth Year of Our Society.
