As friendship is the result of great power and is found to the highest degree in people and their better spirits; as friendship is a righteous power which can be channeled to dwell among the virtuous; as friendship is the root of growth, the dispenser of all joy, the sincerity of truth, the strength of conviction, the foundation of peace, and the source of all good things; and as this power has been consistently displayed by Avelyn Wexcombe and Dafydd ap Alan to this, the Barony of Skraeling Althing, which flourished under their kind care, do We, Dubhessa and Joffr, Their heirs and current Baroness and Baron of Skraeling Althing, invite them to join our august Order of the Friends of the Hare. Done [date], at [event], in [place].
Wording by Baron Colyne Stewart, based on a segment from Amicitia, a treatise on friendship, written by Boncompagno Da Signa, in 1205.
