Outlands Order of the Golden Ring Wording

A Barony is strong only when the Coronets may rely upon the aid of their subjects to help them administer the great fief placed in their care by the Crown. Service is expected of all gentles of Unser Hafen, yet there are those who pour forth their talents unstintingly, beyond what is expected. It is meet then that the Coronets reward such loyal and steadfast retainers.

Such a one is ________, who has served us well, and helped nurture that flower of the Outlands that is Unser Hafen.

Therefore do we, _________, Baron of Unser Hafen, and _________, Baroness of Unser Hafen, proclaim [him/her] a Companion of the Right Noble Order of the Golden Ring. { In token of our high esteem, we convey unto [him/her] the right to bear the badge of the Order, to wit: A portcullis vert debruised by an annulet Or.} Further, we do charge [Lord/Lady] ______ to continue as [he/she] has done in the past, giving unto Our fair Barony a wealth of experience and service.

Done by our hands this ____ day of ______, Anno Societatis _____, being ____ Gregorian.
