Atlantia Shark's Tooth Wording

The shark is legendary for its ferocity and its strength. The keen tooth of the shark is an apt symbol for the fiercest of Atlantia's warriors. Bravery in many battles and refusal to yield in the face of daunting numbers makes <name> worthy to be counted among those warriors. Therefore do We, King <King's name> and Queen <Queen's name> of Atlantia, award the Shark's Tooth in recognition of valour on the field. Done this <date> day of <month>, Anno Societatis <year in Roman numerals>.

ALTERNATIVE:

Deep in its heart

Poseidon's Realm

Hides fury in the dark

Swiftly darting

Silent hunting

A predator called shark

No tentacle

To crush or drag

Its victims down beneath

This violent force

doth rend its foes

with nothing but its teeth

Atlantia's

Ferocity

Is kin this mighty beast

Each sword that's swung

A rending bite

Our foe becomes our feast

Today We give you, <name>, an Award of the Shark's Tooth so that all who see it will know who Atlantia's most fearsome warriors are. Done this <date> day of <month>, A.S. <year in Roman numerals> (at Our [location/event]).
