"Hear, Atlantia, the words of Christoph and Adelhait, your König and Königin by right of arms. We delight in the Arts and the Sciences, but cooking is an alchemy that blends both, nourishing and strengthening the populace. Tóth Éva is one who has distinguished herself in the arts and sciences. So do We choose to induct Tóth Éva into Our Order for the Coral Branch. Moreover do We raise Tóth Éva to the ranks of nobility and Award Arms that shall be devised by Tóth Éva and Our heralds to be her own forevermore.Done this thirteenth day of July Anno Societatis LIV, at Our King’s Assessment in Our Barony of Black Diamond."Alias ElaLady Elenor de La RochelleRoxbury MillAtlantia

Joshua, a Soldier
Amalek and his army threaten the Israelites with war. Moses commands Joshua, son of Nun, to assemble an army. The opponents face each other across a field at Rephidim, in this illustration arrayed in thirteenth-century battle dress. Joshua wears a brown tunic and carries a tri-point shield emblazoned with a lion. He and his cavalry all wear great helms. The enemy horsemen, to include the crowned Amalek, wear an older style of pointed helmet with a nasal guard. In the foreground, trumpeters and drummers sound the call to battle. (Exodus 17:8–13)
