In the north, where legions brave the ice, A man named for a monster trained a legionFed on bitter acorn and dreadful boar,To brace them for the crash of enemy shields And hold the hinterlands fast against all threat.One Evocati, Menapii born Aciterix Caldius Julius Cittinius, called Kit,Strides before her troops, unshakeable. Champion and commander, mind sharp as blades.She calls down Mars himself to witnessThe sweeping mass of carnage she controls. 
Mohammad Al-Manil Al-Wajdi Al-Abderrafi Ibn Horrah Ibn Gowan, Tyger of the East and Sovereign King,Stands with Corotica Merkka Senebelenae, dauntless QueenTo wreathe Kit now in Oak Leaves and Acorns RichAs “the brazen horns chorus in strident assent”For she has saved the lives of Eastern kin, And earned the honor of Corona Civica.Henceforth, we name Kit Master of ArmsAnd honor her with the rights and duties therein, Her patent emblazoned thus: Per bend sinister azure and argent a tree countercharged blasted and eradicated In dexter chief, a mullet of four points, argent, bordured embattled, counterchargedDone this fourth day of the War God’s month, Anno Societatis LVII As our beloved King and Queen grace Dragon’s halls.
