The very first scrolltext I ever wrote was for my husband's elevation in March 2022. Ollamh Lanea both invited me to do the writing and arranged for me to be able to recite it at the ceremony, and I am very grateful for those opportunities.

Hail and hearken kin of clan and kingdom
Fame travels far of deeds this thegn has done. See:
Stick-stung by quick-rained blows are foes lain low,
Crow-fodder behind Arnoddr i Oenglesey.
At Bretland on wind-horse came this Íslendingur ages past
Bested many, nested snug, built hilltop home
Dug roots in resting-place, guards hearth and family steadfast
Yet hammers still on helms.
Hord-weard* sees what kensmen knew
Pleased to raise and claim ring-keeper true
King names this sword entwined to kingdom’s fold
Glad blade of red in fray and mind’s-worth** gold.
Atlantia on day of Gate’s Defense
Gains much, as does Arnoddr. Hence
White-girded walks this knight and peer
Bright-joined man and kingdom
hold each the other dear.
Thus Eckehard Rex and Jane Regina do induct Arnoddr i Ongulseyju into the Order of Chivalry and secure him letters patent: Per saltire vert and purpure, a bordure Or. Done this 26th day of March, Anno Societatis LVI
* Hord-weard: Treasure-hoard warder; King
**Mind’s worth: in Beowulf this kenning meant honor. But, you know, he’s also clever.
