Do all pay heed to Oliver, by Right of Arms King, and of Grainne, by Grace and Strength Queen, do call upon Our Majesty and the long traditions of Our Sylvan Kingdom and call forward Vigo of Heronter, youth fencer of renown, and give unto you certain honors and grant you entrance into the Noble Order of the Silver Alce. 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.

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Service Award

Pay heed to the words of Andreas And Kallista, King and Queen of these Sylvan lands. Of late, We have been pelted with good words of Our welbeloved subject Steve de Rossi. We have been told that he is always kind; he never tells anyone to get stuffed, no matter how stretched out he is. Never one to hide from responsibilities. Never one to get under your skin. Will travel fur-longs to assist with Royal Courts and guard the Royal baggage. Always taking his naps in the sun, when told to, so that he would be well rested and tanned. Thus do we call upon Our animal in-stinks, and putting aside any gutless terror, We wish to preserve this moment in time, for it is a no brainer that We induct the aforesaid Steve de Rossi into Our Noble Order of the Golden Wezzle; furries a jolly good fellow. Done this 28th day of March, AS 60, at the Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon
