Shown below is the scroll I received when I was awarded Arms by Their Majesties, Hanse II and Moruadh II, at Boredom War XIII, in May, 1999. I was surprised, to say the least. Text of the scroll is below the image. | |
Calligraphy and Illumination by Baroness Rosalind Bennett (who was standing behind the throne and grinning at me the entire time!) | |
"Proclaim unto all the known lands that We, Hanse, by Right of Arms King of the East, and Moraudh, Our Gracious Queen, have heard much good of the works of our noble Nastasiia Ivanova Medvedeva. Freely does she share her skills in heraldry. Selflessly does she spend many hours working for the good of her shire. Her dedication to her shire and its activities is boundless. In recognition whereof We now award unto her arms." | |
The space is where the blazon of my arms will go when they are finally passed: "Sable, a bear sejant erect atop a mount in chief three escarbuncles argent." | |
So far it's only been signed by Duchess Moraudh; I haven't gotten Duke Hanse, my scroll, and a calligraphy pen together in the same place yet. Once my arms are passed, Brigantia Herald (the Principal Herald of the Kingdom of the East) will sign it as well. | |
