Mettle
proved
In
times of war
Ares’
son extends his realm
To
peaceful fields
The
watchful guardians
Long
and lank
Who
count the days of famine we are sent
Sure
that the days of feasting shall reclaim
Their
cousins
Very
cradles of protection
Whatever
Fortune’s turn
Soul
of an army
We,
Roak and Jocea
Have
noted the skill
Of
His Excellency
Master
Sir Konrad Matthias Jaeger
In
the construction of belts and boots
And
other leatherwork
Here
on Our Coronation Day,
We
do bestow upon him
The
Award of Orion
And
all privileges thereto
Done
this 25th day of April
A.S.
XLIII
In
Our Barony of Ben Dunfirth
Wording, calligraphy and
Illumination by THL Asa Gormsdottir
