From Siegfried, Rex, King of the Ealdormerans, and Ragni,
Regina, Queen of the free folk of the northlands, to Our Heirs, Lawspeaker,
Dukes, Duchesses, Counts, Countesses, Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons,
Baronesses, members of Our royal orders, and to all others to whom these
presents may come, greetings.
As history records, the Society was first brought to Our
realm by Sir Finnvarr de Taahe, known as the Iron Duke, and member of the
Orders of Chivalry, the Pelican and the Laurel. This founding father was later
to become the husband of Her Majesty, and began to gather around him a
household of the worthy and the brave. Amongst those valiant few, Finnvarr took
two erstwhile youths to squire, to stand as his vassals and as brothers one to
the other. One of these squires would go on to become not only a knight in his
own right, but indeed to become a king. This was His Majesty Siegfried. The
other squire is known for wandering the world, always in search of adventure
and fame, all to bring glory to his knight and household. In times of need or
of war, this good gentle always returned to the fold and took up what ever tool
was needed to aid his knight, his fellow squires and the other members of House
De Taahe. With noble harness he is known at the Pennsic Wars for his diligence
and skill with the sword. And this man is Travis Vincent Greywolf.
Know now that His Majesty looks kindly upon his
brother-at-arms, as does Her Majesty, and They would have it known that They
hold him in such high regard that They would bestow upon him an Award of the
Scarlet Banner, so that all my know he is a proud and worthy fighter of the
Kingdom of Ealdormere.
So was this done, at [EVENT] on the [DAY] of [MONTH] in the
forty-ninth year of the Society, in witness whereof We have set Our hand and
seal.
