So.... This happened yesterday.

I'm still gobsmacked.

This was presented to me right after being inducted into the Order of the Howling Wolf and, like a good fencer would, that award served only to distract me from the main attack; one with which I was unable to launch a counter.

And it was caught on camera.

The scroll is a steel buckler; list legal, but I would not dare have a blade scratch a single word painted on it. 

The back is also filled with jokes from members of the White Scarves of AEthelmearc. 

I will be clear-coating the F out it so that it doesn't get messed up. I'm also going to get a buckler hanger so that I can wear this with my sword for important court event.

Having Caleb rendered tearful and speechless: Priceless

Listen and rejoice at Our word: Understand they describe a daredevil welling with wit and whimsy, Master Caleb Reynolds is more than an august assassin. His prowess with a sword indelibly inspires, but has unbearably unbreakable heart and juvenescent spirit is the true testament of Caleb as a fighter and a man. Caleb captures the attention of other fighters without effort or design and teaches his fellow rapier rascals that killing your opponent with kindness is more dangerous than killing them with your blade. Those who do not see his skillful trajectory are surely a travesty, tragedy and full of audacity.

For these reasons and countless more, Caleb has earned an honored place amongst the members of the most Noble Order of the White Scarf. Thus Andreas and Kallista, King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc having consulted with the Order and in complete consensus with them, devotedly decree that Caleb Reynolds should be inducted into the Noble Order of the White Scarf this day at the Feast of the Seven Deadly Sins and Venetian Carnival.
