Calligraphy & Illumination
K ValravnRoxbury MillAtlantiaText
"Our kingdom, in the midst of powerful kingdoms, Suffered pestilence and wept a litany of tears,But grace and honor come to outshine our worries. Today I sing bright hope to those assembled, So you may know what gifts the waves bring forth.Hear me Sea-girt heroes--a Shining Pearl is ours, Lady Aelia Sophoniba, scholar unparalleled, Drops gifts like grains of sand that sift through fingers. Her brilliance, like consuming fire, glows, And comforts all who seek her gracious warmth. Master of metal, gem, and needle’s shining point, Teacher, artist, conjurer of colors lost to time. One who had never read a word, she gave the knowledge of script and truth. One who had never swung a mallet, she gave the tools and smithcraft lore. One who had never held a needle, she taught the stitch and pull of thread; The pleat’s easing lines, the gather’s hidden grace. Together, her arts enrich the realm’s own core, Atlantia’s people draped in Tyrian hue and bauble’s gleam.
Now let us sing together with one voice How this Gentle is our Treasure and our Jewel. Name her Companion of the Pearl of Argent Bright And grant her arms to display for all her years. Proclaimed with Sovereign Voice on this Spring Day By Anton Rex and Luned Regina from Stierbach’s Walls where gates remain secure, This 27th of March, Anno Societatis LV"
