Kitharodes, come now! Sing ululating praisesTo our sea-borne Baroness, Sinn Larensdottir. This laughing hostess, this mother of tribesWelcomes all the folk to her hearth and her lands,High and safe above the swelling brineWhere these shining, cackling beasts swim-dance, Raising fins and spouting fountains as they crest In celebratory leaps saluting her free-flowing cratersAnd gracious, groaning board, and shining eyes,As the Midnight Sun sets on the shores of Atlantia. 

These nereid-blessed creatures love her as they love Amphitrite, This sister of Sicily, This daughter of Dionysus. So name her now a member of their order, And let her swim in the midst of the Golden Dolphins, as she should.    Hence, grant her arms so blazoned: Per fess sable and argent, a sun between six mullets in annulo counterchanged.So sing we, Ragnarr King and Mary Isabel QueenWho rule the wave wrapped Kingdom of Atlantia This eleventh day of November, Anno Societatis LVIIIAs Havoc breaks on the shores of Highland Foorde
