Artemisia Talon d’Or Wording

(rapier, archery, unarmored fighting)

A Barony must have strong arms in its defense. But this alone is not sufficient. Only with the aid of arms that are steady, quick, and sure can the security and glory of the Barony be maintained and increased. So that those confident souls who eschew armor, but defend the Barony with the swiftness of their blades and the accuracy of their arrows may be recognized, Baron Basil and Baroness Renee did create the Order of the Talon d’Or. All shall now know throughout the Known World that we, <Baron> and <Baroness>, do proclaim by these presents, that <name> has demonstrated exemplary skill in the arts of unarmored combat to protect the Barony. (He/she) is therefore declared a member of the Order of the Talon d’Or. Done this ___ day of ___, Anno Societatis ___, being the year two thousand in the Common Era at <event> in the Barony of One Thousand Eyes.
