Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Service Award

Due commendations to all nobles and gentles these present letters hearing or seeing, Murdoch and Rioghnach, otherwise called King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc, send humble and due recommendation. It seems to us just yesterday, in the Western Region of the East Kingdom, a lowly drudge, named Simonetta d'Alfassi, was called forth from the kitchen at Ice Dragon and, covered in flour, was elevated to the rank of Lady in front of hundreds. Then she was sent back to the kitchen to finish her work. Her work which did not end at that event. Simonetta, as mentioned above, has spent the years hence doing service. Cook, retainer, server, guard, marshal, tollner, although not always covered in flour, she has served where and when she could. Thus do we move Our hands to paper and induct her into the Noble Order of the Millrind and do give her a medallion bearing the emblazon of the aforesaid Noble Order, to wit, Fieldless, a millrind argent. Furthermore, do We Grant her the following arms: Argent, a bunny rampant contourny maintaining a wooden longbow proper nocked with an arrow sable, a chief invected azure, as well as this receipt which shall be Our Warrant for full and complete entry into the aforesaid Noble Order from this day unto the end of days. Done on the 21st day of September, AS59, at Our final court in Our Shire of Steltonwald.
