Fergus Redmead - The Consort’s Cypher

 Be it known to all assembled and to those far and wide, that our Fergus Redmead, who stands before you today, gives a wealth of time, toil and sweat for Us, and would perform any task on behalf of Our wondrous Queen, Avelina.  
The countless hours Fergus spends in pursuit of funds for our reign are as precious as silver or gold. Without such capital We could not be the capitol of the East, nor travel the length and breadth of the Kingdom visiting you, Our beloved subjects. It takes a special species of man to raise such specie, and it is proper that the wages of such an endeavor should be the recognition we bestow upon him today.
 
Thus do We, Queen Avelina Keys,  Sovereign of the glorious East, treasure those who provide the solid foundation upon which we stand. We therefore present upon Our Lord Fergus Redbeard the Queen's Cypher. 
Done this first day of October, anno Societatis 51 at Our last court at the Coronation of Brion and Anna in Our Barony of Bergental.

Matthias von Würzburg: Silver Wheel

Emperor Ioannes and Empress Honig,
Masters of the Moon and the Sun,
Which shine their light with joy;
The stars that maintain their courses,
The clouds that bear the showers of rain
And the waters that pour downwards;
The fields that adorn themselves with flowers,
The forest that is covered with foliage;
The beasts that live according to their kind
And the song of the birds that is beautiful.
Everything that has order on the material plane.
Yet there is another plane in which We exist
The Aether Realms that reach beyond the mortal scope.
Trawling through the stars for abstracts,
Fraught experiments that are recorded and shared;
Documents with access across this unsubstantial plane,
Communal knowledge accessible to all
That reports knowledge to Us and all Our populace.
Those that record Our communication, and Our lore.
That We are capable only of being what We are, and We see that
Our Matthias von Würzburg has been working most diligently,
Directing, maintaining and sustaining Our AEther Realms for Us;
Let Us now take this excellent man to the Order of the Silver Wheel.
Done this day at the Spring Coronation of Ioannes and Honig
On April, the First, Anno Societatis LI,
in the Barony of Dragonship Haven

Titus Hostilius Nero - Award of Arms

 Titus Hostilius Nero is a name that has reached Our ears. The cry we hear is that of a great discrepancy upon the field.  But having thrust himself upon our attention, this fencer shall foil Us no longer. Thus, let us come straight to the point:

Today, Titus shall receive his heretofore out of reach Award of Arms!  For we have seen his derring-do.  We shall not mask Our feelings, but instead  reveal to all that our Titus is well suited to carry this honor.

Lest anyone perceive these as cutting remarks, or hear an edge to our voice, we offer this riposte: that we do meet such doubts with a polite parry of recognition of our most worthy Titus Hostilius Nero.

Today’s match has been met at the Shire of Rusted Woodland’s  100 Minutes War.  November the 21st, Anno Societatis 50.
