Scroll Text - Halfdan Danielson - Gage 2023

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Martial Award

Do all pay heed to Andreas, by Right of Arms King, and of Kallista, by Grace and Strength Queen, do call upon Our Majesty and the long traditions of Our Sylvan Kingdom and call forward Halfdan Danielson, also known as Bones, warrior, teacher and marshal of renown, and give unto you certain honors and grant you entrance into the Noble Order of the Gage and do order you to take yourself to Our College of Heralds where you and they shall devise such Arms that you and you alone shall bear. And once such Arms have been created, they shall be held by you alone in perpetuity. If indeed anyone should attempt to take those arms from you, or prevent you from taking your rightful place within the aforsaid Noble Order, or dispute Our gift and grant, may they be accursed and cast from AEthelmearc, the Bestest Kingdom, and wander the wilderness until common sense shall return to them. Thus do we mark this warrant with our signs in the year of the Society 58, at AEthelmearc War Practice.

inspired by Charter S5, A.D. 604 x 616. Æthelberht, king, to Mellitus, bishop, and St Paul's minster; grant of land at Tillingham, Essex
