Text by Ollam Lanea

As Skinfaxi escorts Sunna ever away from Night,
Our gilding, golden, guide wends wurđíz path,
Spear-bold, standing guard at Crown’s behest.
In peace, she bids us strive with ink and paint
To capture tales of work and art and lore,
And celebrate our Wave-washed kith in court.
Kolfinna Valravn marks the glimmer in each eye,
And teaches willing novice skill of script
And brush and lens, while forging bonds,
Joining Scrivener to Skald in task as one.
Now we mark her with the sun, for she does shine,
And offer sigil of sea and sun, Wave and Ray.
A golden dolphin she may bear henceforth
So we say, Atlantian monarchs true
Eckehard Rex, and Jane Regina
This 26th day of March, A.S. LVI at Steirbach’s gate.
