Altavia Baronial Award Ceremonies

There are those who have made this Barony a more beautiful place by their artistic endeavors. Thus was created the Order of the Argent Fret.

Therefore, Their Excellencies call forward……

A Barony is enriched by the participation and contributions of all its members, and yet, there are those who, through continuous and sincere effort, have especially distinguished themselves in service to Their Barony. So that these people may be honored, as they deserve, thus was created the Order of the Sable Fret.

Now, therefore, do Their Excellencies call forth the following to present themselves before this court…

And, for augmentations on this award, Their Excellencies call forth:

Prowess displayed upon the field is only one measure of an individual, for skill without honor and chivalry is a hollow display. In order for these skills and ideals to flourish, there must be those that are willing to dedicate their time to sharing their knowledge and values. Those persons that set an example both on the field and through their dedication to teaching within the Barony are especially deserving of recognition. So that these people may be honored, as they rightly deserve, thus was created the Order of the Vert Fret.

Now therefore, do Their Excellencies call forth the following to present themselves before this court….

Children at play are a joy to behold. They inspire us with their creativity, energy and wonder. They remind us that playing games is fun….and aren’t we all just playing a big fun game?! A person of tender years who contributes to our game by their artistic endeavors, ferocity at swordplay and earnest desire to help is a precious treasure to be honored. Thus was created the Order of the Aechan, to be given to a child whose ability to play is matched by their desire to serve.

Now, therefore, do Their Excellencies call forward….
