Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Courtesy Award

Salutations and greetings good and noble gentles, and know the Lady who is to be rewarded by the Crown according to the ancient traditions of the Sylvan Kingdom of AEthelmearc. Since it is certain that each one of those things that are so much the more easily are called upon by Nobles of the Realm, kindness, courtesy and chivalry, are so much the more prized by Ourselves Our predecessors and Our heirs. Know, all present, that Birna vis's good humor and kindness is pleasing unto Our eyes and We will to present unto her, with Our own hands, a Cornelian so that all shall know of her outstanding courtesy. Should anyone be against this gift, let them be separated from Our Sylvan Lands and wander alone forever. Done by the hands of Oliver and Grainne, on the 25th day of April, AS 60, at the Raids of Blackstone Mountain.
