Listen as I extol this Noble scholar, Ether tamer, wisdom weaver, Pervading darkness and lightTo grant us safe passage through the Tangled labyrinth of thought. Then capturing the Sun’s punishing heatAnd water’s rushing stream, Harnessing the harvest In the bee loud glade.
May their vessels be bathedAnd their wort run clear. And let their brews drive our songsAt regal fete and humble twmpath. Let none oppose the honey’s gift As long as the world remains And Harmonies resound. Bard and Bevy sing praise Of Noble Owain Weale, Star of magnificent stars, Wending the webs of words and ways, Through the ruddy reaping of the steepAnd so calls this morning ravenTo the blue tinged wings of dawn.
So we, Abran King and Anya Queen, Name Noble Owain Weale a member of the Order of the Golden DolphinAnd Grant them arms, this 18th day of February At the tournament of Ymir
