ALTERNATIVE:
In the shadowy depths, where the light grows dim and the
pressure is great, the Sea Dragon holds its domain. Great and powerful, the Sea
Dragon rises from the abyss a harbinger of its kind and its arte. The Sea
Dragons found on Atlantia's waters consistently rise above the tide, providing
protection to her abounding subjects, as well as a Warning to all those that
would bring discontent upon our shores. Let all know that <name> is such
a protector: skilled and ever prepared to remind our foes that Atlantia is a
kingdom of the Sea, and there be Dragons Here. We <name> and
<name>, Rex and Regina Atlantiae, do hereby induct <name> into Our
Order of the Sea Dragon. We further confer upon [him/her] all the honours,
privileges, and responsibilities inherent there unto. (In recognition of this

ALTERNATIVE:
Sea Dragons slice through the water leaving behind waves of
froth in their wake. Atlantia’s rapier fighters slice through the enemy swiftly
and deadly with power and might, leaving behind the defeated enemy. One such
fighter is <name> who has struck terror in the hearts of those who oppose
[him/her]. Strong of battle, swift in parry and a good dresser as well,
<name> is worthy of recognition. Therefore do we <name> &
<name> King and Queen of Atlantia induct [him/her] into our Order of the
Sea Dragon for [he/she] has proved as mighty as the Dragon and
as Strong as the Sea. (Furthermore we do raise [him/her] to the ranks of
nobility and Award [him/her] Arms, to wit: <blazon>). Done this
<date> day of <month>, [A.S./Anno Societatis] <year in Roman

ALTERNATIVE:
The fighter stands upon the field. He takes the measure of
his opponent. Swift and sure he begins the bout. His guard is sure, his tempo
on target. Sure of blade and keen of wit, Atlantia’s rapier fighter stands out
among the crowd. One such has come to the notice of the Crown. Therefore do we
<name> & <name> King and Queen of Atlantia acknowledge the
skill of <name> upon the rapier field and induct [him/her] into our Order
of the Sea Dragon. May [his/her] sword continue to strike with surety and
strength. (Furthermore we do raise [him/her] to the ranks of nobility and Award
[him /her] Arms, to wit: <blazon>). . Done this <date> day of
<month>, [A.S./Anno Societatis] <year in Roman numerals> at our
