Lady Anastasiia Iosifova

Yew Bow

27 March A.S. LV at Defending the Gate and Baronial Investiture in Our Barony of Stierbach in the Canton of Sudentorre

Since creating this scroll, I have learned that the use of "hack-hands" (faux scripts) are offensive and misrepresent cultures. Because of this, I will no longer use hack hands in my scrolls, but I am preserving these images for a record of personal growth in both scribal and equitable practices.
