Text

"What reward can there be for those who have given much, and still have much to offer? For all We have received, We can but offer our thanks, in the same spirit of excellence you continually demonstrate. Thus to I, Saphir, Baron of Stierbach, here declare “Plus laboris praemium recte factorum” and proclaim to all present that Sara van Eerde is well deserving of the Baron’s Award of Excellence. Done this day 27 March, AS LV at Defending the Gate and Baronial Investiture."
Lord Dunstan Stonehill
