Scroll Text - Chebe - Writ for Mark 2026

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Writ

Now hear the form which the Crown grants Peace and Reward to those who do serve Our Realm.

One named Chebe, from the far East, did serve the Crown in both times of war and of peace. 

Not content with being a simple man, this Chebe became a warrior and engineer.

For he did make armor to take to the field and cause to be raised a great siege engine, 

A descendant of awesome Warwulf and terrible Ludgar, which caused stone to fly

And drop upon Our enemies and threw down towers and battlements.

Not content with being a simple warrior, or engineer, he led a company of siege specialists upon the field,

And in times of peace did teach all he knew of engines, fletching, and smithing to all who who sought him out.

Not content with sitting in his smith waiting for students, Chebe traveled with his knowledge and engines,

To teach new students, to train new warriors, to educate new engineers.

So in sign of Lordship, at Harvest Raid, AS60, Andreas and Kallista, third of those names,

Did give unto Chebe a Writ ordering him to set aside his tools and join the Noble Order of the Mark.

Now, this third day of January, at 12th Night, in the Rhydderich Hael,

The Crown caused everywhere to be proclaimed to Baronies, Cantons, Shires, Colleges, and Dominions,

That the name Chebe you will hear afterwards in the talking of this elevation

Shall be henceforth be added to, and be accompanied by, the Noble Order of the Mark.

Thus did Andreas and Kallista sign with Letters Patent, this document and 

Gave a feast and ceremony for the newest member of the Peerage of AEthelmearc.
