&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2026.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the court session held in the Pavilion of the Swan afield outside of Vornavis in the fall of 2025.  It has been edited to focus on the topics related to the court session, including remembering Sir Goldstr, a recent fundraising event, and the Knighting of Dame Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Pavilion of the Swan Afield]&lt;br /&gt;
Verdant carpeting of soft fleece stretches across the uneven ground and softens the subtle rise and fall of the farmstead field beneath.  Green walls of dark Vornavian silk rise to a peaked canopy, their fabric trimmed in copper and white that are patterned in swan feathers.  Along the eastern edge, a polished golden linden table has placards, plates, and baskets set upon it, while opposite the entrance several floor stands support various pieces of heraldry and insignias.  &lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: east, out&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Your fingers trail across the embossing on the buckler and you bow your head in silent, solemn respect.  Unbidden, a voice rises to your ears, inviting you to watch the stars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanging your head, you let your fingers trail across the anole at the center of the pennant.  In your mind&#039;s eye, you see a clean-shaven giantman with broad shoulders and an imperial air.  His gold-flecked bronze eyes stare proudly ahead of him, and for the briefest of moments, you imagine that he nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanging your head, you let your fingers trail across the pegasus at the center of the banner.  In your mind&#039;s eye, you see a raven-haired giantess with fair skin and green eyes.  Her warm gaze falls upon you, but the memory vanishes all too soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, you say, &amp;quot;Your sister is putting in the Herald work today.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Aye she is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Delindra says, &amp;quot;I conscripted her.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a graceful movement of her hands, Mourdeyan lowers her head and sinks into a formal curtsy before Chamberlain.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You face Chamberlain and smartly bring your right fist up to your chest.  Holding it there, you bow deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Afternoon sir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Good afternoon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Delindra says, &amp;quot;One of us here to greet folk, one of us helping shuttle people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You nod approvingly at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at stands&lt;br /&gt;
You see several floor stands.  Looking at the stands, you see a triangular crimson banner fashioned from Vornavian silk, a gryphon-embossed ebon leather-wrapped buckler, and a burgundy and black Vornavian silk pennant.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra dryly adds, &amp;quot;She&#039;s accepted the role with grace.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flowing silk of Vornavian make forms a triangular banner, its weave lustrous and fine.  Across the rich crimson field rises a white pegasus, wings unfurled as though caught in mid-ascent.  The charge gleams against the deep ground, every feather picked out in delicate threadwork.  From top left to bottom right, an ebon sash lies draped across the banner, its dark length lending solemn weight to the vivid display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Embossed upon the leather face, a silver gryphon crouches at the base of the round, its wings half-furled and feathers tooled in relief.  Above it spreads a field of deep indigo, tinted to resemble a star-spangled sky, each argent point bright against the dark ground.  Cutting across the center, a single golden star arcs in a streak of light.  From top left to bottom right, an ebon sash lies diagonally, casting solemn weight across the design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There appears to be something written on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;read buckler&lt;br /&gt;
Etched into the wood of the buckler where the leather doesn&#039;t cover is a small inscription:  Sir Goldstr Aimright&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Woven of fine Vornavian silk, the pennant displays a field of burgundy and ebon that mingle like shadow and wine.  A border of autumn leaves in gold and russet frames the edges, their painted hues vivid against the dark ground.  Faint charcoal grey threads define the form of an anole, its eyes a stunning combination of gold, russet, ebon, and burgundy.  From top left to bottom right, an ebon sash crosses the design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Heralds, if I could be lent your ear for a moment.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see several floor stands.  Looking at the stands, you see a triangular crimson banner fashioned from Vornavian silk, a gryphon-embossed ebon leather-wrapped buckler, and a burgundy and black Vornavian silk pennant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see several floor stands.  Looking at the stands, you see a triangular crimson banner fashioned from Vornavian silk, a gryphon-embossed ebon leather-wrapped buckler, and a burgundy and black Vornavian silk pennant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
On the golden linden table you see a lacquered ebonwood bowl, a small white placard, a hollow gourd bowl, a teacup of spiced orange chai, a flagon of cinnamon apple ale, a bowl of buttery riced potatoes, a pan-roasted fillet of red snapper, a dish of honey-roasted carrots and a muffin and mousse-topped parfait.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Reaching into the pile of Vornavian silk bands at the bottom of the lacquered ebon bowl that rests on a polished golden linden table, Gutstorm shakes free an ebon Vornavian silk armband stitched with a  &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In the ebonwood bowl you see a pile of ebon Vornavian silk bands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Lord Juramis Du&#039;Lasfeur the Nobleman.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Human from Seareach.&lt;br /&gt;
He is short.  He appears to be a bit weathered.  He has heavy-lidded brown eyes and ruddy skin.  He has short, curly ginger hair.  He has a plump face and heavy jowls.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a crystal amulet, a crimson and gold brocade mantle, an ebon Vornavian silk armband, a red and black leather bracer, a mottled morduska hide satchel, a deep blue watered silk vestment with a cloth-of-gold sunburst, a tiny black coin pouch emblazoned with a pair of crossed silvery scimitars, and some cork and snakeskin sandals.&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis glances at a huge orange cat.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Juramis, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Not one I thought I run into here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod in greeting at Juramis.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan curtsies to Juramis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Mongo, you&#039;ll have to wait outside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Some armbands for Goldstr over there.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
On the golden linden table you see a lacquered ebonwood bowl, a small white placard, a hollow gourd bowl, a teacup of spiced orange chai, a flagon of cinnamon apple ale, a bowl of buttery riced potatoes, a pan-roasted fillet of red snapper, a dish of honey-roasted carrots and a muffin and mousse-topped parfait.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen nods at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a free hand, Mourdeyan wraps the Vornavian silk armband around her upper arm, binding it tightly.&lt;br /&gt;
 Reaching into the pile of Vornavian silk bands at the bottom of the lacquered ebon bowl that rests on a polished golden linden table, Cylnthia shakes free an ebon Vornavian silk armband stitched with a gold star.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Please feel free to obtain a memorial band from the ebonwood bowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Maylan exclaims, &amp;quot;Ahoy!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Likewise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Land Pirate Maylan the Hospitaller of the Order of the Swan of Marshtown.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae&#039;ni Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She is of a slight height and has a thin, wiry frame.  She appears to be seasoned.  She has completely solid, vivid jade eyes and mocha freckled, ruddy skin.  She has raggedly cut, frizzy raven-sheened hair tied in a snarled sailor&#039;s knot braid and capped by an empty rusted steel bucket.  She has a narrow face, a gently sloped nose and a dimpled chin.  She has a small gap between her front teeth.  She has a discolored mop-fringed pegleg for a leg.  She has a pair of crooked, jagged-edged pearly wings trailing some hemp-tasseled chipped shell mosaics on their outer edges.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a black-inked crying whale on her wrist, and a sun-shaped gold stud in her right nostril.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
Grubby clouds of dust and grime obscure her form, wafting lazily as she moves.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an interwoven silver choker decorated in rainbow-hued oval abalone shells, a threadbare knitted faded white paeline dress detailed with a series of Vornavian orange blossoms, a crocheted jade green and coppery tartan armband stitched with a right-facing white swan, a floriated silver spoon thumb ring, and some scrubby looking sea silk slippers inset with pristine cream pearls.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;For those of you just joining us, there are memorial bands in the ebonwood bowl on the table.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Maylan, you greet, &amp;quot;Hospitaller.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer says, &amp;quot;Afternoon all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everall respectfully says, &amp;quot;Good day all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer and Mourdeyan bash their forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Oxhammer, Tebon says, &amp;quot;Afternoon Ox.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Magister.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Oxhammer says, &amp;quot;Ello there Mo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Tebon, Everall says, &amp;quot;Good afternoon Sir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee carefully says, &amp;quot;Greetings.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer turns toward Tebon and renders a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Raelee, Tebon says, &amp;quot;M&#039;lady Raelee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Three short, crisp blares of a trumpet fill the air, followed almost immediately by a young voice calling out, &amp;quot;Attend, attend!  The ceremony shall be commencing shortly.  Please make haste to take your place within the Pavilion located in the Vornavian Holdings.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan offers Oxhammer a veniom bound vruul skin weapon harness inlaid with uncut deathstones.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;For those of you who also may not be aware, we have presented some banners and bucklers and insignias of those who have passed before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see several floor stands.  Looking at the stands, you see a triangular crimson banner fashioned from Vornavian silk, a gryphon-embossed ebon leather-wrapped buckler, and a burgundy and black Vornavian silk pennant.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Flowing silk of Vornavian make forms a triangular banner, its weave lustrous and fine.  Across the rich crimson field rises a white pegasus, wings unfurled as though caught in mid-ascent.  The charge gleams against the deep ground, every feather picked out in delicate threadwork.  From top left to bottom right, an ebon sash lies draped across the banner, its dark length lending solemn weight to the vivid display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at pennant on stands&lt;br /&gt;
Woven of fine Vornavian silk, the pennant displays a field of burgundy and ebon that mingle like shadow and wine.  A border of autumn leaves in gold and russet frames the edges, their painted hues vivid against the dark ground.  Faint charcoal grey threads define the form of an anole, its eyes a stunning combination of gold, russet, ebon, and burgundy.  From top left to bottom right, an ebon sash crosses the design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phanna warmly greets, &amp;quot;Good afternoon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra quietly says, &amp;quot;For those who wish introduction upon the opening of our session, please see myself or Herald Regwen and let us know what Honorifics you prefer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni cheerfully greets, &amp;quot;Fair eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Missoni, Sansoni says, &amp;quot;Good evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni gazes thoughtfully at a burgundy and black Vornavian silk pennant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee grabs a twisted black willow rod inlaid with verdigris runes from a small silk-lined pocket inside of her white linen robe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra whispers, &amp;quot;Yes, I&#039;ll introduce Members of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, led by the Honorable Sir Guarrin and First Sister-at-arms Mourdeyan?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Hanging his head, Chamberlain lets his fingers trail across the pegasus at the center of the banner.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 Reaching into the pile of Vornavian silk bands at the bottom of the lacquered ebon bowl that rests on a polished golden linden table, Phanna shakes free an ebon Vornavian silk armband stitched with a gold star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Yukito and render a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen says, &amp;quot;For those who wish introduction upon the opening of our session, please see myself or Herald Delindra and let us know what Honorifics you prefer.&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Yukito, you greet, &amp;quot;Hospitaller.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Heralds, I will see you at the dais in a moment.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos smiles at Arelder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
With a free hand, Phanna wraps the Vornavian silk armband around her upper arm, binding it tightly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You peer east and see ...&lt;br /&gt;
[Pavilion of the Swan Afield]&lt;br /&gt;
Verdant carpeting stretches beneath a small dais at the far end of the pavilion, where a golden linden chair gleams against the Vornavian silk walls.  Braziers stand to either side, their light warming a silk tapestry that hangs behind, its surface worked with the heraldry of Vornavis.  Above, at the joint of green walls meeting the peaked canopy, several small leather-faced shields form a subtle ring of decoration.  You also see an emerald green linden-seated stool.&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Corlyne gives Cylnthia a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Separating one sheaf from the bundle of wheat stalks, Missoni lifts a green ribbon-tied sheaf of golden wheat from a high-walled and hollow gourd bowl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dirra says, &amp;quot;Afternoon all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, &amp;quot;Good Perigourd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd turns toward Dirra and renders a sharp hand salute. &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking warmly to Tebon, Missoni greets, &amp;quot;Sir Tebon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon bows to Kothos.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Fair afternoon all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You cordially greet, &amp;quot;Bathcwyn. Perigourd. Afternoon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan observes, &amp;quot;We should do all courtly business outside. It&#039;s real pleasant in here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen says, &amp;quot;For those who wish introduction upon the opening of our session, please see myself or Herald Delindra and let us know what Honorifics you prefer.&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Three short, crisp blares of a trumpet fill the air, followed almost immediately by a young voice calling out, &amp;quot;Attend, attend!  The ceremony shall be commencing in five minutes.  Please make haste to take your place within the Pavilion located in the Vornavian Holdings.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily asks, &amp;quot;Where is my place here?  I am certainly an honored guest.  Is there a lounge?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Everall, Dirra says, &amp;quot;Wonderful to see you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Dust in the wind.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You glance around the room.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Juramis, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;You are stuck with us little people Juramis.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;All we are.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Juramis, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Some have been provided with seating, if needed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Juramis, Kothos says, &amp;quot;Please, help yourself to the refreshments, honored guest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;I do hope there is a strong sanctuary should Athalia appear&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking huskily to Puptilian, Juramis says, &amp;quot;Back in the dredges of Shanty Town, once more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Juramis, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Dont look down on the little people. They are just as important as everyone else.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra quietly says, &amp;quot;For those who wish introduction upon the opening of our session, please see myself or Herald Regwen and let us know what Honorifics you prefer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You bash forearms with Roblar in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking huskily to Mourdeyan, Juramis asks, &amp;quot;Which flap was it again?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Roblar, you greet, &amp;quot;Commander.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Ah!  I see.  Thank you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You peer out and see ...&lt;br /&gt;
[Vornavis, Peasant Holdings]&lt;br /&gt;
Resting upon a slight incline that overlooks the surrounding holdings is a bright red barn, its roof fashioned of fresh thatching and its walls freshly painted.  The surrounding trees have been cleared from the area, and evidence of where their root structures were still mar the ground.  Several pathways converge here, stretching in every direction through the fields.  You also see the black jade Kothos disk edged with glittering gold, a hazel-eyed wiry grey wolfhound, a black-winged daggerbeak, an amethyst geode-encrusted golem, a lazy wild deep black dog, a forest wolf, a glinting stygian scarab beetle that is flying around and a conical emerald green Vornavian silk pavilion.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Kothos&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Just thru there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito put a rose and ivy dining kit in his black suede jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
Lord Juramis just trudged away moving out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lord Juramis just came trudging in.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan grins impishly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three short, crisp blares of a trumpet fill the air, followed almost immediately by a young voice calling out, &amp;quot;Attend, attend!  The ceremony shall be commencing in meer moments.  Please make haste to take your place within the Pavilion located in the Vornavian Holdings.  Your presence is requested at the dais.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis grumbles at Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni gazes in amusement at Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan blinks at Juramis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan asks, &amp;quot;Over yonder?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito helps himself to an earthen clay dish of thyme and honey-roasted carrots, adding it to his jasmine-painted plate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sparks of argent light coalesce beneath your feet, merging into a trail of swirling griffin feathers that follow you and your group as you stride east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Pavilion of the Swan Afield]&lt;br /&gt;
Verdant carpeting stretches beneath a small dais at the far end of the pavilion, where a golden linden chair gleams against the Vornavian silk walls.  Braziers stand to either side, their light warming a silk tapestry that hangs behind, its surface worked with the heraldry of Vornavis.  Above, at the joint of green walls meeting the peaked canopy, several small leather-faced shields form a subtle ring of decoration.  You also see an emerald green linden-seated stool.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Lady Meliyara, Land Pirate Maylan, Lord Chamberlain&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: west&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain dryly says, &amp;quot;I was wondering if anyone would realize that this is the ceremonial room...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Commander.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Golden linden rises into a high back, its surface shaped with flowing detail.  Along the left and right supports, carved swan feathers descend in a graceful cascade, their curves soft against the gleam of the wood.  At the center rests a shield, its form simple yet dignified, while the cresting top bears a cluster of orange blossoms worked with quiet precision.  A cushion of crushed emerald green velvet rests upon the seat, its rich hue deepening the chair&#039;s subtle elegance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Threads of deep emerald weave a uniform backdrop where a swan argent rests with wings lowered.  A copper border encloses the central shield, its edge entwined with a garland of orange blossoms in full bloom.  Behind the swan, a single open gate appears in faint relief, argent lines touched with verdigris to suggest long weathering.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see several small leather-faced shields.  Looking at the shields, you see a dragon-embossed white leather-wrapped buckler, an argent leather-wrapped buckler, a shield-embossed ebon and white leather-wrapped aegis, a lion-embossed cerulean leather-wrapped aegis, a thistle and rose-embossed argent leather-wrapped targe, a sable leather-wrapped targe, and a hind-wrapped azure leather-wrapped aegis.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Across the white-tinted field, a rampant dragon coils upward, its body scored with scales in high relief.  Pigment darkens the ridges of wing and claw, lending the beast an impression of restless movement upon the buckler&#039;s curve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the center rests a greatsword proper, its blade etched with clarity, flanked by thirteen droplets tinted in sanguine.  Above, a fan crested with gules stars spreads in embossed arcs.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
At the center of the aegis, a lion&#039;s head argent emerges in bold relief, its features carved with flowing precision.  Raised embossing defines the mane in layered curls, each lock tinted to catch the light.  Behind the proud visage stretches a field of light cerulean blue, the soft hue lending contrast that heightens the strength of the argent design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crossed upon an argent field, a thistle and a white rose form a saltire, their stems raised and leaves sharply tooled.  Violet and ivory tinting soften the leather&#039;s surface, their union embossed with stately symmetry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Embossed upon sable leather, a diagonal band of gules cuts cleanly across the face, dividing the charges.  In the upper sinister quadrant, three argent wings spread in relief, their feathers finely scored and faintly tinted to shimmer against the dark ground.  In the lower dexter, three yew trees rise verdant and tall, their trunks and boughs tooled with sharp detail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Embossed upon a leather-wrapped round aegis, a hind argent lies lodged at gaze, its graceful form raised in smooth relief.  Silver tint highlights the gentle curve of flank and antlers, while the creature&#039;s calm eyes are fixed outward in quiet watch.  Behind it stretches a field of brilliant azure, the dyed leather rich and deep in tone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra says, &amp;quot;There are a couple more on their way, Jisandra is helping someone get dressed... at North Market...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Do we feel all are in attendance--- ah.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;That seems about right.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra blushes a delicate shade of pale pink.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see several small leather-faced shields.  Looking at the shields, you see a dragon-embossed white leather-wrapped buckler, an argent leather-wrapped buckler, a shield-embossed ebon and white leather-wrapped aegis, a lion-embossed cerulean leather-wrapped aegis, a thistle and rose-embossed argent leather-wrapped targe, a sable leather-wrapped targe, and a hind-wrapped azure leather-wrapped aegis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra defensively says, &amp;quot;She wants to help us maintain decorum.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Embossed upon sable leather, a diagonal band of gules cuts cleanly across the face, dividing the charges.  In the upper sinister quadrant, three argent wings spread in relief, their feathers finely scored and faintly tinted to shimmer against the dark ground.  In the lower dexter, three yew trees rise verdant and tall, their trunks and boughs tooled with sharp detail. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra uncertainly adds, &amp;quot;.... Mostly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd glances at a dragon-embossed white leather-wrapped buckler.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a Vornavian silk tapestry, Wighelm says, &amp;quot;That is a fine tapestry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Delindra, Zepherine says, &amp;quot;That sounds very fancy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Wighelm the Haberdasher.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Human from Talador.&lt;br /&gt;
He is average height.  He appears to be approaching his twilight years.  He has tired green eyes and sallow skin.  He has balding, grey hair with a large bald spot.  He has a weathered face, a beak-like nose and bushy eyebrows.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a heavy dark wool coat, some sturdy thrak hide leathers, a weathered dark leather bandolier with dye vials and threading needles, a wrinkled white cotton shirt, a burlap money bag, a supple leather artisan kit, a reticulated black tool belt, some wooly bresuna trousers, and some worn brown leather boots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Grand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra nods at Regwen.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Everall glances at several small leather-faced shields and grins.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Gorgeous.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain clearly reminds, &amp;quot;I will remind all here to be mindful of proper decorum while under this canvas.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain firmly instructs, &amp;quot;Weapons, shields, and the like have no place being drawn here in our court-a-field.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thrassus says, &amp;quot;Apologies, it&#039;s such a part of me I forget I have it in my hand some of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Zepherine fidgets slightly under the scrutinizing eyes of the Chamberlain.)&lt;br /&gt;
R &lt;br /&gt;
(Yukito straightens his back slightly, and breathes out as his chin levels.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Stepping to the side of the dais, the Vornavian chamberlain raises his staff of office and thumps the end of it on the flooring of the dais three times.  The dull boom of it echoes through the pavilion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra moves to stand beside and slightly back from the Chamberlain, her posture straight but relaxed.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally intones, &amp;quot;This session of the Court of Vornavis Afield is now in session.  Please make way for Captain of the Vornavian Guard Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr and Vornavian Court Magister Odelgarde Brindlestraffe.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
With a graceful movement of her hands, Mourdeyan lowers her head and sinks into a formal curtsy before Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You slam your fists together in front of your chest before bowing deeply and honoring Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde wanders in.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;By your leave, I introduce High Priestess Chaerwerdd of the Solhaven Temple to Imaera and High Priest Vothiel of the Solhaven Temple to Lorminstra.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Knight Bachelorette.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.&lt;br /&gt;

She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull with each sporadically banded in gold-wired coils.  She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.  An angry, ragged scar trails down her left arm starting at her shoulder and ending at her wrist.&lt;br /&gt;

She is wearing a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a pair of golvern spurs, a gold-banded leather back sheath, a suit of gold-edged full plate of damascened krodera, a wide black leather belt, a faenor-capped brown leather sheath, and some sturdy calf-high boots tightly laced in rawhide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;With great honor, I introduce Dame Falain, Knight-Banneret of the Sun Guard.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see High Priest Vothiel.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Human from Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
He is taller than average, has a wiry, pencil-thin body, and has nut brown skin.  He has gold-flecked grey eyes.  He has waist length, peppered dark brown hair worn in a tousled mane about his face.  He has a high forehead.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a gold-threaded thick woolen cowl wreathing his shoulders and neck, obscuring the lower half of his face.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a key-inlaid ebon candle in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a gold-strung decorative key symbol, a series of layered black woolen robes, a niveous Vornavian silk surplice edged in snowflake tatting over a high-collared cotton ebon cassock with left-aligned lanyard knot toggles, and a pair of buckled shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Dame Falain the Knight-Banneret of the Sun Guard.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Indeed, quite a gathering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;It is with kind regards that I introduce Lord Paidreg Venquinor of House Venquinor, cousin of House Malwind.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Well, that is a surprise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You slam your fists together in front of your chest before bowing deeply and honoring Paidreg.&lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg offers a courtly bow, a faint smile on his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cylnthia bobs a quick curtsy to Paidreg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Yukito gasps very slightly, staring at his feet mid-bow, before straightening.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I haven&#039;t seen Paidreg since we rebuilt the Firebird&#039;s core.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;...I am surprised to see him.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg winks.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Indeed, he doesn&#039;t seem to leave the ship much from what I understand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;The court of Vornavis would like to welcome Lord Juramis Du&#039;Lasfeur, a Nobleman of Brisker&#039;s Cove in the County of Seareach.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Helnora whispers to the group, &amp;quot;This is ... quite a lot for a memorial, no? Uncharacteristic? I would not know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Thank you for having me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni whispers to the group, &amp;quot;It is more than is usual for a court session, in truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;It is with great affection that we welcome, Seamstress Caelyna Dufryes to today&#039;s proceedings.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Seamstress Caelyna Dufryes.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human from Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
She is shorter than average.  She appears to be very young.  She has bright blue-grey eyes and fair skin.  She has shoulder length, curly chestnut hair worn in a single braid.  She has a delicate face, a classical nose and dimpled cheeks.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a corseted moss green dress embroidered with tiny silver swans, a wide silver bracelet studded with pale jade, a soft velvet pouch, and a pair of silver silk slippers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;Please make way for the Lady Athalia Aricia Malwind of Vornavis!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;It amazes me more every day...I know I loved Goldy...but the number of lives  he touched, I didn&#039;t recognise how widely he was known.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia turns around. &lt;br /&gt;
You slam your fists together in front of your chest before bowing deeply and honoring Athalia.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Lady Athalia Malwind.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human from Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a curvaceous figure.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has moss green-flecked, midnight blue eyes and milky white skin.  She has very long, glossy golden brown hair woven into an elegant crown braid protected by a loosely woven copper chainmaille headpiece trailing white ora and faenor scales.  She has a heart-shaped face, an upturned nose and full clear gloss-sheened lips.  She has glossy copper lacquer brushed onto her perfectly manicured fingernails, which are cut short and rounded.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a swan-emblazoned polished metal gorget, an open-weave overgown of feather-patterned cloth-of-copper with a high-collared Vornavian silk chainse trailing throat to hem cloth-wrapped buttons underneath, an ebon Vornavian silk armband worn on her upper right arm, a reticulated bronze-plated left arm greave affixed to a swan-embossed pauldron, a delicate silver ring, a thrice-wrapped niveous white belt decorated in copper end-caps, a white whorl-stitched emerald green scabbard hanging from the left hip, and a pair of low-heeled suede boots tinted in a warm copper hue.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;At this time, our Heralds would like to present guests to the court.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen step forward one step.)&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites:&lt;br /&gt;

    &amp;quot;We present and welcome, the Members of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, led by the Sir Guarrin Hjeldin and First Sister-at-arms Mourdeyan Drayk&#039;Art&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stride a few steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Argent light blooms from your sable plate armor&#039;s core as you cross your forearm over your chest and execute a short bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain nods. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You take a few steps back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan bows her head slightly as she drops into a deep, respectful curtsy.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We present and welcome Faelcwyn Phanna Green of the Order of the Swan&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Sister-in-arms Mourdeyan Drayk&#039;Art the Warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human.&lt;br /&gt;
She is statuesque and has a lithe, muscular physique.  She appears to have come of age.  She has vigilant, silver-flecked midnight blue eyes and rich tawny skin.  She has riotous, golden brown hair twisted into an intricate knot at the nape of her neck and secured by a pair of griffin-carved bone hairsticks.  She has a classical nose and a light scar across her right eyebrow.  She has slender ears with a barely noticeable point to them.&lt;br /&gt;
She has an onyx-shaded crimson flame tattoo on her finger, a labyrinthine knotwork tattoo comprised of the elements on her neck, a shattered sword tattoo on her arm, a tiny silver talon-shaped spike in her left eyebrow, and a colorful compass rose sleeve tattoo on her arm.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is holding a green ribbon-tied sheaf of golden wheat in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ebon Vornavian silk armband stitched with a gold star, a pair of griffin-carved bone hairsticks, a silver gryphon talisman flecked with rubies, a luxurious black suede cloak with a smoke grey fur collar, a dove grey silk sash, a polished Helden Hall pin, an epauletted ebon brocade bodice, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a curved hawk flight feather, a veil-iron griffin talon talisman, a gold-stitched black velvet bag with cocobolo-knuckled drawstrings, a hammered flask, an ora-edged ebony kilt, and a pair of ankle-tied slippers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We present and welcome, Lord Teveriel Anduin Vaalor, Chair of the Gilded Talon Consortium&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    &amp;quot;We present and welcome, Protector Kateerina Treyetha&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra bows her head respectfully and steps back.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen bows her head respectfully.)&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Thank you, Heralds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally intones, &amp;quot;Let all gathered come to order.  This day, we mark the waning of summer&#039;s warmth and the heralding of autumn&#039;s bounty.  In honor of the season, High Priestess Chaerwerdd of Imaera shall offer us a few words.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Stepping back, the chamberlain yields the floor to Chaerwerdd with a polite inclination of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
Liras kisses her fingertips and presses three of them to her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd turns an inquisitive ear toward Chaerwerdd.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd bows her head slightly as she drops into a deep, respectful curtsy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd steps before one of the tent&#039;s braziers, a small sheaf of wheat cradled in her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
Cylnthia bows her head and chants a short prayer, causing golden brown and green light to momentarily coalesce in front of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd plalces a stand housing a small gourd wind chime near the brazier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd quietly rejoices, &amp;quot;Blessed is the bounty of Imaera, whose hand has filled our fields and gardens.  From seed to stalk, from blossom to fruit, her gifts have ripened beneath the summer sun.  We gather now in joy, for the harvest is upon us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd raises the sheaf high, its golden grains catching the light, then turns to brush her hand across the gourd and wood chimes, sending their rustic notes into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd solemnly intones, &amp;quot;Yet all seasons must turn.  The light wanes, the days shorten, and the warmth of summer drifts into memory.  We honor the bright days that fed us, and we bid them farewell.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd lays the sheaf of wheat upon the brazier s coals, the fire flaring as stalk and husk catch flame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd quietly reminisces, &amp;quot;As the wheat returns to smoke and ash, so too does summer give way to autumn.  May Imaera guard the earth in its slumber, until spring awakens her once more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd lets the chimes fall still, her fingers no longer manipulating its wooden pipes, then faces the gathering with a final gesture toward the entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd gently instructs, &amp;quot;Take a stalk of wheat with you as you depart.  Keep it close until next you visit a bonfire, and there return it to the flame, that the turning of the seasons may be complete and that Imaera&#039;s Grace falls upon you in this season of change.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd bows her head slightly as she drops into a deep, respectful curtsy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd takes a few steps back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I love all the ceremony.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Yarr, thare&#039;s comfort in the familiar.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain steps forward once more, offering a respectful bow to Chaerwerdd before lifting his voice to the gathering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain measuredly intones, &amp;quot;Vornavis thanks the High Priestess Chaerwerdd for her kind words and the blessing of Imaera.  With the season&#039;s turning set before us, we now turn to matters of growth and community.  It is my honor to call forward Court Magister Odelgarde Brindlestraffe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde steps forward, walking to the very edge of the dais and pausing to look at those gathered.  She takes a steadying breath and then offers a brief, small smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde slowly acknowledges, &amp;quot;While most petitions, gathered by Herald Eldric, shall be addressed next week in the formality of court, there is one matter that seemed far more fitting for this day.  Tomorrow marks the turning of the season, and today we have received the blessing of Imaera.  It is, I think, the right moment to share this news.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde pauses for a moment, a fleeting look of uncertainty alighting on her features.  She lays a trembling hand upon her abdomen and licks her lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde quietly shares, &amp;quot;On the twenty-first day of Koaratos this past year, the Order of the Silver Gryphons held a fundraiser, with the intent that its proceeds aid in improvements to the Vornavian Holdings.  Our lands have known a lush season of bloom, and it seemed wise to ensure that prosperity is met with care.  The donations were generous beyond expectation, amounting to one hundred and twelve million silvers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde smiles brightly, her voice having gained confidence as she shared the warm news.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;That&#039;s a lotta forks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Cheering inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;You bet your sweet bippy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde proudly informs, &amp;quot;A good portion of those funds has been set toward refurbishing the barn, which had fallen into deep disrepair.  Once more, it shall house livestock and shelter an apple press, its spaces open to all who wish to make use of them.  More improvements will follow, and the structure shall remain a place of service to the community.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde lifts her gaze, her eyes shining as she lets them fall on various individuals within the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Everyone was incredibly generous, fine work.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You feel Odelgarde&#039;s gaze fall upon you, her expression filled with a mixture of pride, appreciation, and gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra whispers to the group, &amp;quot;....can you say bippy at formal court events?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde abruptly continues, &amp;quot;Further, homes will be raised for the farmers, many of whom came to us as refugees of Talador.  And a culture pavilion is planned to honor their traditions, so that what was lost with their homes shall not be lost from memory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Helnora whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Its only a baby bip so I&#039;m sure it is fine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Incredible generosity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Fine work Brother Blud.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;What wonderful news.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Oh, that is perfect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall whispers to the group, &amp;quot;This truly is good news.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Lady Athalia rises with a gracious smile, her voice carrying clearly through the gathering, &amp;quot;Vornavis offers its gratitude to the Order of the Silver Gryphons for their steadfast efforts and their generosity in this great work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia continues, &amp;quot;Through your hands, the Holdings have gained not only a barn renewed but the promise of shelter, livelihood, and memory preserved.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia lets her gaze sweep beyond the gathered to the entrance of the pavilion, a look of introspection settling upon her features.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I would say the generosity comes from the bidders, I just stood behind a box and shouted things.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I hope we get sheep and goats to care fer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia quietly professes, &amp;quot;We also look to those of Talador who now dwell among us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia allows a small smile to play upon her lips, her gaze returning to those gathered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Everyone did an amazing job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia says, &amp;quot;You have endured much, and yet you have brought your strength, your skills, and your traditions into our care.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia warmly expresses, &amp;quot;Know that you are no longer strangers, but treasured members of our community.  It is our intent to honor your culture as we share our own, that together Vornavis may grow in richness and in kinship.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder takes a moment to observe Athalia.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia returns to her seat, a small nod offered to the chamberlain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I have been a citizen for a bit now...never been more happy that I moved to haven.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain measuredly states, &amp;quot;With thanks given, we turn now from the blessings of bounty and the labors of renewal to remembrance.  Vornavis calls forward High Priest Vothiel of Lorminstra, that we may honor the memory of Sir Goldstr, whose service and spirit remain with us still.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Aye, it&#039;s a lovely place to call home.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meliyara reaches up with her opposite hand and places it upon her Vornavian silk armband, bowing her head slightly as she gazes downwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lay your palm across the arching symbol of two knotwork grizzly bears on your vultite brooch, your fingers curling around the vultite edges, and bow your head in a moment of respect for all those that have come before you, for all those who have fallen at your side, and for those that are yet to come.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Same, Mourdeyan.  I have been a citizen for years now, and it has always been a welcoming, warm place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phanna reaches up with her opposite hand and places it upon her Vornavian silk armband, bowing her head slightly as she gazes downwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel lights the ebon candle, which flickers and begins to burn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel folds his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Mauss quickly brushes a finger underneath his eyes.)&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Exactly so, thank you all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see High Priest Vothiel.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Human from Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
He is taller than average, has a wiry, pencil-thin body, and has nut brown skin.  He has gold-flecked grey eyes.  He has waist length, peppered dark brown hair worn in a tousled mane about his face.  He has a high forehead.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a gold-threaded thick woolen cowl wreathing his shoulders and neck, obscuring the lower half of his face.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a gold-strung decorative key symbol, a series of layered black woolen robes, a niveous Vornavian silk surplice edged in snowflake tatting over a high-collared cotton ebon cassock with left-aligned lanyard knot toggles, and a pair of buckled shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nyssia tilts her head down.&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel softly intones, &amp;quot;Lorminstra, guide of souls, keeper of the Ebon Gate, bless this flame.  As a candle drives back darkness, so let memory drive back despair.  As its light flickers yet endures, so let love and honor endure within us, until we are reunited with those gone before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel measuredly counsels, &amp;quot;Grief can weigh heavily, but remembrance helps us through these dark days.  To speak of the departed, to hold their memory together, is to keep them present in spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roblar places a hand over his heart.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan reaches up with her opposite hand and places it upon her Vornavian silk armband, bowing her head slightly as she gazes downwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel stares outward, his expression black and tinged with melancholy, as he clutches the vaalorn plate-and-mail at his breast.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel&#039;s eyes crinkle upward at the edges, though the rest of his face is concealed by the folds of his thick woolen cowl.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall lowers his head and places one arm over his heart, gripping his gold silk doublet at the waist with his other hand.  He appears to be whispering to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel amusedly reflects, &amp;quot;I know Sir Goldstr would be embarrassed by the outpouring of emotion we have shared.  He was a man who preferred others take the limelight.  But sometimes, the living need this shared time to heal.  And so we speak of him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel lightly passes to the right side of the dais, leaving the candle behind him.  Lifting his head, he gazes at the ceiling of the pavilion.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel tenderly reminisces, &amp;quot;I recall once, while in Wehnimer s Landing on an errand, hearing his voice ring out across the square.  He called to all who would listen, urging them to come watch the stars and learn their tale.  It was a simple thing, yet it has stayed with me, a reminder of his spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel solemnly shares, &amp;quot;With this memory in mind, Vornavis honors him now.  By commission of the House of Malwind, a gift has been crafted  two constellation lanterns, that their light may remind us of the stars he so loved.  One will be placed at the Cascade of Tears, for those of Vornavis to use in remembrance.  The other shall be sent to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, that his spirit may be honored where he so often stood.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel removes an emerald green Vornavian silk cloth patterned in white swan feathers from in his layered woolen robes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel unties the bindings and folds back the edges of his Vornavian silk cloth to reveal a star-etched golden lantern positioned perfectly in its center.&lt;br /&gt;
 .&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan gulps.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Thrassus nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Juramis agrees with Vothiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Very fitting tribute to Sir Goldstr.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;That is a fine memorial.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Helnora whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Beautifully done.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel quietly introduces, &amp;quot;At this time, Lord Juramis would like to share a word.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon whispers to the group, &amp;quot;A very fitting memorial for him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra&#039;s brows furrow together, a single tear streaking its way down her cheek.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni whispers to the group, &amp;quot;It is quite perfect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mauss agrees with you. .&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Indeed, he would blush and be quietly so honoreed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Worthy of him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inclining his head slightly, Vothiel offers the most minimal of bows with an air of utmost politeness.&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;I had the honor to fight beside Sir Goldstr once.  He was an amazingly skilled warrior.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Battlefields are not the only place we must endure the fight.  There is often conflict and strife in each of us, for our own reasons.  The loss of a hero is one that requires us to contemplate how we must come to understand what role that hero served, and how we go forward without them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;It is certainly more appealing than a bowl of Helga&#039;s stew, so I am glad they chose the stars instead of his other nightly habit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;When someone like Sir Goldstr is no longer able to hold the sword, we must keep our banners high and know that his duty now falls upon the rest of us.  Or, if such a thing is possible, another who is able to grow as capable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Indeed Kothos! he loved his vittles that man.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel&#039;s eyes crinkle upward at the edges, though the rest of his face is concealed by the folds of his thick woolen cowl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel slowly folds the edges of his Vornavian silk cloth over his lantern and binds it in place with a slender cord.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Juramis bows respectfully, his eyes fixed firmly on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel says, &amp;quot;Lord Thrassus...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I hope all know, especially those close to him, how much he valued your friendship.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thrassus asks, &amp;quot;Yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Thrassus, Vothiel says, &amp;quot;As an envoy of the Landing, I ask you to accept this lantern, as symbol of shared remembrance between Vornavis and the Landing, and as tribute to Sir Goldstr&#039;s enduring light.  Please provide it to your Mayor that she may find a proper home for it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thrassus nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
Thrassus says, &amp;quot;I shall be honored to do so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel offers Thrassus an emerald green Vornavian silk cloth patterned in white swan feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Liras whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I didn&#039;t know him well, but he was always kind as can be when we did speak. A good man and a good warrior.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel solemnly concludes, &amp;quot;May these lanterns shine as reminders of the light we hold in memory, and of the bonds we share across distance and loss.  So long as the stars endure, so too shall the spirit of Sir Goldstr.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel bows his head, then steps back, offering a quiet nod to the chamberlain as he yields the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod appreciatively at Vothiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meliyara reaches up with her opposite hand and places it upon her Vornavian silk armband, bowing her head slightly as she gazes downwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain inclines his head respectfully in acknowledgement of Vothiel&#039;s surrendering of the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain formally announces, &amp;quot;With honor given to the memory of Sir Goldstr, we now turn to matters of the present.  Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr, Captain of the Vornavian Guard, has requested to make her report before the court. Vornavis bids her step forward and be heard.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra tilts her head toward Jarnsaixa, examining her intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan turns an inquisitive ear toward Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa balls her hand into a fist and pounds it against a knotwork bronze brooch worn at her shoulder.  Once, twice, and three times she strikes as a fierce look of determination settles about her. &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa strides forward, boots striking firmly upon the wooden dais.  She clasps her hands behind her back, her posture straight as she surveys the assembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I sure am glad that lass is on our side.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa steadily acknowledges, &amp;quot;By leave of the chamberlain, I bring my report before the court.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Helnora whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Me too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Aye, as am I.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain inclines his head.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa takes a few steps to her right.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mauss whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I sure hope she stays on Northwatch&#039;s side.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa shares, &amp;quot;It is not of battle nor of walls held, but of a life lived in loyalty, duty, and honor that I wish to present to you today.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa thoughtfully continues, &amp;quot;These are the markings that endure beyond the clash of arms, and they are the truest measure of one&#039;s worth in service.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa measuredly considers, &amp;quot;For three years, I have known her strength and service.  In that time, I have marked her loyalty, her compassion, and her resolve.  Yet I am not alone in this.  The Order of the Silver Gryphons bears twenty years of witness, and their voices tell of courage and humility, of mentorship and unity, of one who steadies others and makes all feel valued.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa tilts her head back, her gaze rising to the roof of the pavilion.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan squints.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa firmly contemplate, &amp;quot;She has been called a shield among the people, the bond that cements vows, the hand that encourages, and the voice that strengthens.  These are not passing words, but the signs of one whose spirit carries honor as surely as any sword or shield.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa measuredly offers, &amp;quot;In her own practice, she keeps her weapons in her own care, and she teaches the young to do the same.  As a squire, she learned through trial and through guidance, and she honors those who mentored her, not least of which was Sir Goldstr.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a moment of deep reverence, Jarnsaixa slips her eyes closed and touches an intertwining symbol of an amber-eyed knotwork wolf on her bronze brooch with the tips of her fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa evenly shares, &amp;quot;When set to guard a charge, she places safety before will.  On loyalty and blind obedience, she holds that loyalty is earned and that empty obedience surrenders judgment.  In crisis, she will step in or delegate as duty requires.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa steadily submits, &amp;quot;She measures a battle not by the fallen, but by how many rise and walk away.  She serves where the whole is best served, whether on watch or at front.  Mercy, to her, is strength and a cornerstone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You fold your hands behind your back, waiting patiently.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa gravely offers, &amp;quot;When an oath is broken, she counsels first and then seeks rightful authority.  She does not train in dishonor, but trains leaders and keeps faith with the Order.  Of wounds unseen, she knows the spirit carries what the body forgets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa kneels before Athalia.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking solemnly to Athalia, Jarnsaixa queries, &amp;quot;With two decades of witness from the Order, and the years I have marked myself, I turn to you, my lady.  Should not such service be honored?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia gives Jarnsaixa a considering look, her eyes alight with a smile that her lips do not display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Falain leans forward, the shift in her posture almost imperceptible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking thoughtfully to Jarnsaixa, Athalia inquires, &amp;quot;You ask if such service should be honored.  It is no small thing to weigh, for honor must be carried by more than words.  It must be proven, again and again, across years and trials.  Do you believe it so?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa states, &amp;quot;I do, my lady.  I have seen it with my own eyes, and others have borne witness for far longer.  It is beyond dispute.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia smiles , at last, and lifts her gaze beyond Jarnsaixa as if seeking a face in the assembly.&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia gently asks, &amp;quot;And do you think she would accept such a charge?  To bear the weight of knighthood not for herself alone, but for the people she serves?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Okay, allow me a good bout of tears.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa states, &amp;quot;I believe she already does, my lady.  The oath would only give name to the life she has long lived.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maylan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;As is yer right, surely.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia allows a quiet moment to pass, her gaze sweeping the gathered court before returning to Jarnsaixa.  Her hand rests lightly upon the scabbard at her side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mauss whispers to the group, &amp;quot;No argument from me!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;You will have company in your tears.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Lady Athalia Malwind.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human from Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a curvaceous figure.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has moss green-flecked, midnight blue eyes and milky white skin.  She has very long, glossy golden brown hair woven into an elegant crown braid protected by a loosely woven copper chainmaille headpiece trailing white ora and faenor scales.  She has a heart-shaped face, an upturned nose and full clear gloss-sheened lips.  She has glossy copper lacquer brushed onto her perfectly manicured fingernails, which are cut short and rounded.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a swan-emblazoned polished metal gorget, an open-weave overgown of feather-patterned cloth-of-copper with a high-collared Vornavian silk chainse trailing throat to hem cloth-wrapped buttons underneath, an ebon Vornavian silk armband worn on her upper right arm, a reticulated bronze-plated left arm greave affixed to a swan-embossed pauldron, a delicate silver ring, a thrice-wrapped niveous white belt decorated in copper end-caps, a white whorl-stitched emerald green scabbard hanging from the left hip, and a pair of low-heeled suede boots tinted in a warm copper hue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia kindly admonishes, &amp;quot;Then let it be so.  In my father&#039;s absence, as Lady of Vornavis, I have the authority to confer this honor.  Let Sister-at-arms Mourdeyan Drayk&#039;Art be brought forward, that Vornavis, Solhaven, and all those gathered may witness her knighting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni whispers to the group, &amp;quot;You may have them if I am allowed to also.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

To take the mantle of knighthood is no light thing.  It is no mere honor, but a lifelong oath.  Before this assembly, I ask you to answer truly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking clearly to Mourdeyan, Athalia intones, &amp;quot;Do you swear to defend Vornavis, its people, and the Turamzzyrian Empire with loyalty and courage, even should the cost be your own life?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;We save that for later.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Aye Lady Malwind, for all my days.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia draws her knighting sword from her emerald green scabbard and holds it before her, careful of the dangers that may await.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

You see Sister-in-arms Mourdeyan Drayk&#039;Art the Warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Human.&lt;br /&gt;
She is statuesque and has a lithe, muscular physique.  She appears to have come of age.  She has vigilant, silver-flecked midnight blue eyes and rich tawny skin.  She has riotous, golden brown hair twisted into an intricate knot at the nape of her neck and secured by a pair of griffin-carved bone hairsticks.  She has a classical nose and a light scar across her right eyebrow.  She has slender ears with a barely noticeable point to them.&lt;br /&gt;
She has an onyx-shaded crimson flame tattoo on her finger, a labyrinthine knotwork tattoo comprised of the elements on her neck, a shattered sword tattoo on her arm, a tiny silver talon-shaped spike in her left eyebrow, and a colorful compass rose sleeve tattoo on her arm.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ebon Vornavian silk armband stitched with a gold star, a pair of griffin-carved bone hairsticks, a silver gryphon talisman flecked with rubies, a luxurious black suede cloak with a smoke grey fur collar, a dove grey silk sash, a polished Helden Hall pin, an epauletted ebon brocade bodice, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a curved hawk flight feather, a veil-iron griffin talon talisman, a gold-stitched black velvet bag with cocobolo-knuckled drawstrings, a hammered flask, an ora-edged ebony kilt, and a pair of ankle-tied slippers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you all so very kindly, I will do my utmost to honor the title.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa bows respectfully before Mourdeyan, her eyes fixed firmly on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan bows respectfully before Athalia, her eyes fixed firmly on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde strides a few steps forward. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde offers Mourdeyan an emerald green Vornavian silk cloth patterned in white swan feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Folding his left arm behind his back and dipping to one knee, Mauss bows respectfully to Mourdeyan and inclines his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde whispers something to Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan accepts Odelgarde&#039;s Vornavian silk cloth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde smiles at Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Mourdeyan, Kothos asks, &amp;quot;You okay, over there?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Mourdeyan, &amp;quot;Congratulations, Dame Mourdeyan!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan gawks at an emerald green Vornavian silk cloth patterned in white swan feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain steps forward once more, lifting his voice to rise over the chatter and managing not to shout.  He strikes his staff three times upon the wood of the dais.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Oh my.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan removes a pair of golden spurs from in her Vornavian silk cloth.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain clearly announces, &amp;quot;Thus is the ceremony complete.  Vornavis bears witness to the oaths taken this day, and to the honor now bestowed.  Let it be remembered in deed as well as in word.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan exclaims, &amp;quot;Hear hear!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you Lord Chamberlain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Seems like we will need to work on heraldry a bit.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain says, &amp;quot;Now, my lords and ladies, good folk of the court, the time is ours to share in lighter company.  Refreshments have been prepared near the entry so that all may offer their congratulations and fellowship together.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Perhaps another presentation on the subject.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Perigourd.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chamberlain gestures toward the entryway, where a table await, then steps aside.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan exclaims, &amp;quot;Freshments!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;Now that we&#039;re done, I think you could use this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s the best part.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon whispers to the group, &amp;quot;In my defense, it was nae mentioned when I was Knighted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;I hear the gryphon apple cider is amazing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Nae that I recall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Land Pirate Maylan strides west amidst a cacophony of chinchilla snorfles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking warmly to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;Congratulations, Mourde.  You deserve all your laurels and more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gutstorm hugs Mourdeyan, who wraps him in a warm embrace.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan gives Roblar a friendly hug.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Tebon says, &amp;quot;Congratulations Dame Mourdeyan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roblar smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Roblar gives Mourdeyan a friendly hug.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer offers Mourdeyan a silver-forged flagon of spiced cinnamon apple ale.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel says, &amp;quot;I wish you all well in your celebrations this done.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;You still look a little stunned.  Dame.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vothiel bows respectfully, his eyes fixed firmly on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Chaerwerdd, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Thank you for giving our Lady Imaera&#039;s grace today.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Regwen says, &amp;quot;Congratulations,  Dame Mourdeyan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking warmly to Mourdeyan, Lylia says, &amp;quot;Dame Mourdeyan. It has quite the euphonious ring to it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra whispers to the group, &amp;quot;....Whew. I shall need several drinks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra stares off into space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
Lylia gives Mourdeyan a friendly hug.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd says, &amp;quot;I was pleased to do so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Fine work yet again!&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd says, &amp;quot;You should return in two months when we hold another.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos whispers to the group, &amp;quot;I am somehow standing, still.  Despite feeling like I have collapsed into a sobbing puddle.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Oxhammer asks, &amp;quot;Does this mean I have to be nice to you now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Chaerwerdd, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;I will.   Thank you.  I will bring that message to the Sisters in the Shrine at the Landing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Mourdeyan, Everall says, &amp;quot;Dame Mourdeyan... well deserved.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking simply to Mourdeyan, Falain says, &amp;quot;Do not feel overwhelmed by your new responsibilities.  You have already been living them day by day, if the crowd&#039;s testimony is any evidence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan blushes a nice shade of pink.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Chaerwerdd says, &amp;quot;Please, do.  All are welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;The Green Sisters will be happy to hear that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Falain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gutstorm grunts his thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you all for the kind words...hugs work both ways, and I try not to intrude on personal space.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Mauss exclaims, &amp;quot;If folks&#039;s reactions mean stuff, it seems like this honor&#039;s overdue if anythin&#039;!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;If we clear the Outlands...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Wighelm says, &amp;quot;It was a lovely ceremony.  It sounds richly deserved.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Folding his left arm behind his back and dipping to one knee, Mauss bows respectfully to Mourdeyan and inclines his head.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Athalia says, &amp;quot;Let us hope that next week&#039;s court session goes so smoothly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Could we find a way to rescue those poor dobrem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Once the Dames and Lady Athalia take their leave, we will move to refreshments.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra hopefully asks, &amp;quot;Drink?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan smiles as she bows deeply in front of Lady AThalia and those assembled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Athalia, Thrassus asks, &amp;quot;Oh? What day is it being held on?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Kothos asks, &amp;quot;You have some experience with dogs.  Do you think they could be fostered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athalia says, &amp;quot;One week from this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Kothos, you say, &amp;quot;Worth trying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Thrassus, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I will likely see you in the landing regarding that other matter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Kothos asks, &amp;quot;We know quite a few of those, don&#039;t we?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Everyone no worries, go eat, go do stuff...really.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan asks, &amp;quot;Kothos?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan removes a gold-stitched black velvet bag with cocobolo-knuckled drawstrings from her belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Be safe and well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Dame Jarnsaixa&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
You ask, &amp;quot;Shall we head for the refreshments then and celebrate Dame Mourdeyan?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Falain, Odelgarde asks, &amp;quot;Dame Falain, would you join me for refreshments?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Aye lets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra quietly says, &amp;quot;It seems wrong the Cholenites don&#039;t have drinks in their hands yet at a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Roblar always seems to know where the ale is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Odelgarde, Raelee greets, &amp;quot;Magister.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito nods politely at Paidreg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lylia says, &amp;quot;I knew from the moment Jarnsaixa began to speak that she could mean none other than Dame Mourdeyan. How eloquently she spoke.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Maylan says, &amp;quot;Congrats to you, Lady Dame Miss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg squints at a weathered vellum page.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Caelyna says, &amp;quot;I have never personally witnessed a knighting, this was a wonderful suprise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jisandra, Kothos says, &amp;quot;You could have ended that sentence with &amp;quot;It seems wrong the Cholenites don&#039;t have drinks.&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Teveriel says, &amp;quot;Yes, congratulations, Dame Mourdeyan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Meliyara congratulates, &amp;quot;A well deserved honor, Dame.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;To Dame Mourdeyan!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking warmly to Mourdeyan, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Dame Mourdeyan, congratulations.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Caelyna says, &amp;quot;Good day, I do not usually leave my shop, but I was free today.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Lylia exclaims, &amp;quot;To Dame Mourdeyan!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian asks, &amp;quot;How long are  you staying?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Zepherine says, &amp;quot;My congratulations.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde says, &amp;quot;I should learn to carry kerchiefs with me.... my... hands...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;If I may.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;If I may take a moment&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer says, &amp;quot;Lets give Dame Mourde the room please.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kateerina softly says, &amp;quot;You may have all the moments.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;You are my friends and family...more dear than my own since they have all gone. I cherish your friendship, it is my haven and my honor to be among you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan turns to face you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer says, &amp;quot;We kinda like you to Dame Mourde.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You raise your cinnamon apple ale in a toast!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Helnora casually jests, &amp;quot;She&#039;s alright, I guess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Helnora appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra grins at Mourdeyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you sir, for your guidance and forebearance in the face of sometimes foolishness.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, you say, &amp;quot;These paths are never easy. You have always been an inspiration. From your test to today.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Madmountan raises his pewter turret stein in a toast and proclaims:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;To the curmudgeonly among us, may you drink in surly and judgmental silence!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Tebon says, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll catch up wit ye&#039;s later on Dame, well deserved an&#039; well earned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Tebon says, &amp;quot;Feh, I did nuthin&#039; lass, this was all you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;And YOU.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Od &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan turns to face Oxhammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;You will always be my brother.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Delindra says, &amp;quot;Well put.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;May Mistress Ivas grant you her passion and grace, and take a little well wishes and hopes from me, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
(Yukito circles Mourdeyan in a burst of elvishly youthful playfullness, then stills and smiles broadly.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Squire...I hope you took notes in case your mentor wants a full accounting for the record.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking awkwardly to Falain, Odelgarde asks, &amp;quot;How long will you be this far west, Dame?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking lightly to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;Oh, I have some ideas.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Caelyna, Sirona says, &amp;quot;I frequent you shop occasionally. Its good to see you about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking simply to Mourdeyan, Raelee states, &amp;quot;I have been informed that offering congratulations is considered appropriate in such a situation as this.  Thus, they are offered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Everall, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;What did I tell you earlier.  There is an example for you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Odelgarde, Falain says, &amp;quot;The matter of affairs north of here still consume my attention.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Odelgarde, Falain says, &amp;quot;I admit, I did not expect to be gone from Tamzyrr for so long as this, but it has been good to come to know the North.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;She&#039;s already in great hands, but I will do my best to keep up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Falain, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Quite a bit different.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking casually to Kothos, Helnora says, &amp;quot;...eventually. I&#039;m sure.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Falain, Odelgarde says, &amp;quot;Vornavis has always been home, but it certainly has a way of winning hearts not native, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni nods in agreement at Odelgarde.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan says, &amp;quot;Vornavis has won my heart, surely and wholly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Odelgarde, Raelee agrees, &amp;quot;Some.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking skeptically to Mauss, Meliyara says, &amp;quot;You cannot make fishcakes out of folks, they require fish. It is in the name itself.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Odelgarde, Kothos says, &amp;quot;I mentioned that to Raelee the other night.  I will always have a warm place for Brisker&#039;s Cove, but...Vornavis and the Vipershroud are what I miss, when I am elsewhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Maylan says, &amp;quot;Also my shanty falls down a lot less now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Mourdeyan, &amp;quot;I have done nothing but write reports.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Mourdeyan and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Odelgarde, Kothos asks, &amp;quot;It is the places we choose, rather than our birth, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Falain, Everall says, &amp;quot;My lady, I have lived up here for some time now, but I certainly miss home, it&#039;s been some time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking thoughtfully to Falain, Paidreg says, &amp;quot;Do you miss the comforts of home?  The North is a far cry from the luxuries and hustle of Tamzyrr.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking firmly to Paidreg, Falain says, &amp;quot;I go where the Emperor commands, and when.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Delindra notes, &amp;quot;You just got glitter bombed. This tent can never be used again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Dame sparkly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Whoever mentioned that the apple ale was a good choice.  You were correct.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
J &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra says, &amp;quot;Perfect for this time of year.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Madmountan lifts his pewter turret stein in a toast and proclaims:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May our toasts rise high in our beloved chalet, and be ne&#039;er more than a year &#039;til we meet again this way!!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Falain looks toward Paidreg, and with a slightly softer tone, says, &amp;quot;There is still more to sort with regard to the Wehnimerian matter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you my friend.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You casually glance between Falain and Paidreg.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;One wonders if Sir Vectrus has made it there yet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking evenly to Paidreg, Raelee asks, &amp;quot;... you have taken interest in that &#039;matter&#039;?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roblar lifts his drinking horn in a toast and proclaims:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May your weapon be true and your arms never tire.  Pray your spirit never loses its fire.  May you know little fear, and keep it at bay.  And when it doesn&#039;t, charge forward anyway!  May you live long enough to tell your tale...or at least long enough to enjoy this ale!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Lylia says, &amp;quot;I am so happy for you, my dear, and the eloquent words spoken about you are all true.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Kothos says, &amp;quot;I will see you soon, Dame Mourdeyan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Falain, Thrassus says, &amp;quot;I must admit I am intensely curious as to what that matter is, exactly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Raelee, Paidreg says, &amp;quot;Far from it.  I cannot shed my bloodline, but I try to remain away from affairs of state.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Oxhammer asks, &amp;quot;Permission to leave Dame?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg says, &amp;quot;My cousin seems well-suited for it, and I am only glad that a gift for statecraft resides somewhere in the family.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde embarrassedly says, &amp;quot;They seem to sweat during ceremonies...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra says, &amp;quot;Ah, nerves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Falain says, &amp;quot;I must return to my duties, but I am glad to have been here for such a fine evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde asks, &amp;quot;Shall I walk with you, Dame?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You face Falain and smartly bring your right fist up to your chest.  Holding it there, you bow deeply&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juramis huskily says, &amp;quot;Pardon me.  I must return to Wehnimer&#039;s Landing, to attend to some matters near the dock before the evening&#039;s end.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you so kindly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking softly to Mourdeyan, Kateerina says, &amp;quot;Congratulations again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg reluctantly says, &amp;quot;I should get back to the ship.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Paidreg, you say, &amp;quot;Safe travels.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Paidreg, Missoni wishes, &amp;quot;Travel safely, and do visit again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg says, &amp;quot;It was good to see you all.  Perhaps at next week&#039;s court, we shall rendezvous once more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paidreg grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Paidreg, you say, &amp;quot;That would be grand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan glances at her golden spurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Mourdeyan, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Congratulations again. We will continue your celebrations, of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Thank you all for coming.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;

Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Guarrin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Giantman|Kindred]] [[warrior]] and member of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] hailing from the [[Dragonspine | Dragonspine Mountains]]. He is active in [[Solhaven]], [[Landing]] and elsewhere across the continent of [[Elanith]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
Born upon the slopes of the [[Dragonspine Mountains]], Guarrin was raised amongst the T&#039;Kirem clan. As is common with many of his clan, once he passed the trials of his youth, he ventured down the slopes and into the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] where he quickly found work as a mercenary and guard for several merchants and lesser nobles. During his early travels, he also spent time visiting other clans, especially the [[Araime Sun Clan]] and [[Grishknel Wolf Clan]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his time with the [[Araime Sun Clan]], he had his first encounter with Krolvin, setting the stage for many upcoming battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling through the Empire, he eventually found himself at the frontier town of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] where he joined the [[Order of Voln]] after meeting Sir Shirkon, Dame Evia, Sir Morgiest, Sir Cryheart, and Sir Geijon.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Sir Geijon extended an invitation to join the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]]. His first task as a squire was to reform and lead the Protectors of the Citadel, an assignment he would perform for the next several years through the [[Griffin Sword War]] and [[War of Nations]]. Both events would change Guarrin significantly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to his home for a time, and renewing his ancestral obligation to the [[Guardians of Sunfist]], Guarrin returned to Sol Haven and defended the city during the [[Solhaven Cataclysm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the events of the Cataclysm, Guarrin again spent some time traveling the Empire before returning to the highlands of the Dragonspine, and his home amongst the T&#039;kirem. After several years of living amongst his people once again, he returned to the lowlands of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing to fulfill his Oath and obligation to the Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Significant Events===&lt;br /&gt;
Champion and/or Master of multiple events at the [[Highman Games 2010]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elected Leader of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] in 5122-5125.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin was knighted by Baron [[Dunrith Malwind]] in Charlatos of 5122.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;

:He has a weathered face, a crooked nose and a neatly trimmed, full beard gathered into a single glossy braid with a curled tip.  He has a thin, faded scar across the front of his neck, a long diagonal scar running across his left eye from brow to cheek, and broad shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
:He has an ebon and ivory skeletal gryphon tattoo on his arm, and a weaving Saramar runes tattoo on his arm.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a hammered vultite brooch, a fur-lined iron boar hide cloak, a light linen tunic, a leather swordbelt, a lightweight hunter tartan great-kilt with a long swathe pinned at the left shoulder, some pointille steel-plated sabatons, and a pair of golden spurs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the 30th anniversary celebration event, Tales of Chivalry, hosted by the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] at their Holding in January of 2025. It has been edited to focus on the performance and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Gryphon Holding, Great Hall]&lt;br /&gt;
A light draft stirs the banners draped overhead, each measure of silk representing a knight of the Order.  Dominating the room is a massive oak table with a dozen tall chairs around it.  Three smaller tables are set up in an alcove off the eastern wall for more private gatherings.  Elaborate figurines of former members line the mantel of a huge fireplace set at the far end of the room.  Flanking the hearth, floor-to-ceiling shelves hold a wide selection of reading material and ancient tomes.  You also see the mural-sided Perigourd cassone, a rough oak table with some stuff on it, a live-edge thanot table set on spiraled rakka horn legs with some stuff on it, a white monir table burned with a keep-overlooked seaside cityscape with some stuff on it, a newel staircase and a wooden ladder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Please let me know if you are planning on sharing a tale of chivalry tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You cordially greet, &amp;quot;Welcome to the Holding, everyone. It is good to see you all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;There are refreshments on the tables.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
You cordially greet, &amp;quot;Evening everyone. If you are just arriving, refreshments are on the tables. If you wish to share a tale tonight, please let me know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Welcome to the Holding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;You have forunate timing, we were just about to begin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You cordially greet, &amp;quot;Welcome, everyone, to the Holding for our fourth annual Tales of Chivalry. The Order is pleased to host everyone tonight as we celebrate the memory of our friends, Lords Drung and Elbromo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You somberly state, &amp;quot;We began this tradition of chivalric tales to inspire others. As Drung and Elbromo inspired everyone&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lay your palm across the arching symbol of two knotwork grizzly bears on your vultite brooch, your fingers curling around the vultite edges, and bow your head in a moment of respect for all those that have come before you, for all those who have fallen at your side, and for those that are yet to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Tonight we also begin our year-long celebration of the Order s founding. Over the years, we have lost many other friends and comrades, so let us also honor their collective memory with our tales this evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I will not get into the details of our founding, as you will hear more on that soon, but it is a great honor to be part of the Order during its thirtieth year. While we are young, compared to some Orders within the Empire, thirty years is no small feat. I am greatly looking forward to all of the celebrations we have planned for this year.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You clearly continue, &amp;quot;Tonight we will hear several tales of chivalry. Each of these tales will be judged by our panel of former Leaders of the Order.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Our judges, tonight will be. Sir Cryheart, Sir Geijon, and Dame Deavon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The judges will be evaluating the tales for their Creativity, Presentation, and overall chivalric content.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You continue, &amp;quot;The purpose of this event is to share inspirational stories that exemplify the Code, whether it is Kai s Talismans or the writings of Sir Pyrrhon. We hope that they will serve as inspiration for everyone here long after we conclude our discussion tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;We will give a final call for anyone interested in sharing a tale or song this evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Very well. Before we begin, we have two Tales from the Order itself that our members will share. First, Herald Regwen will share the tale of the founding of the Order.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod encouragingly at Regwen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Herald. You have the floor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen theatrically says, &amp;quot;I have an Epic poem to share this evening.  This Epic is based on true events chronicled in &amp;quot;The Abandoned Holding&amp;quot; by Sir Brinn and &amp;quot;Tale of two Barons&amp;quot; by Sir Cryheart.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites evenly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Baron Hochstib in far off Jantalar, where he ruled,&lt;br /&gt;
     Turned his eyes to war, greed and expansion fueled.&lt;br /&gt;
     Hochstib hated non-humans though being half-elf, we knew.&lt;br /&gt;
     So Chaston&#039;s edict helped him to enslave ordlyn cruel.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen takes a couple steps to the left.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites darkly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Jealous of the silver trade profits Vornavis had made,&lt;br /&gt;
     Talador was the first neighbor Baron Hochstib did raid.&lt;br /&gt;
     The Baron didn&#039;t believe their silver mine had been played.&lt;br /&gt;
     When found true, &amp;quot;A non-human plot against him!&amp;quot;, he raged!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites darkly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Mean time, Mestanir was the next the Baron had attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
     This war was fought for the land that the Jantalars lacked.&lt;br /&gt;
     After great losses were dealt by sorcerers Mestanir backed,&lt;br /&gt;
     Witch hunters and Mantis crystal were used, mana to extract.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites heavily:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In Talador, Fights tween Dwarves and Humans caused Chaston&#039;s Edict used.&lt;br /&gt;
     Ordlyn miners were enslaved and mistreated and a riot soon ensued.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sir Maldon&#039;s son was sent to the mine, violence to be subdued.&lt;br /&gt;
     But the Baron ordered the mine sealed, everyone there was entombed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos takes a drink from his mulled red wine.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen hangs her head.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen slings a silver-inlaid varnished ash mandolin strung with twisted silver off from over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Deep in the mines, down in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;
     Up rose a cry from deep in the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;Freedom!&amp;quot; they cried. &amp;quot;Freedom!&amp;quot; they called.&lt;br /&gt;
     Freedom arose from the dwarven halls.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;&amp;quot;They must be stopped!&amp;quot;, the Crab did cry.&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;They must be stopped or I&#039;ll know why!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
     Down the dark maw his troops did slide.&lt;br /&gt;
     Into that horde of dwarven tide.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 .&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They fought and yelled to no avail!&lt;br /&gt;
     Nothing would stop that rising wail.&lt;br /&gt;
     And so at impasse they did arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
     But impasse does not the Baron drive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Regwen plays her varnished ash mandolin, some silver stars suddenly flow out of the instrument, pulled into existence from the magic of her song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Seal the caves I do command!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;Seal the mines to the last man!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
     So the Crab called out, so it was done.&lt;br /&gt;
     From the dark maw the sounds there were none.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Sealed in the dark both dwarf and man.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sealed in the dark by the Crab&#039;s left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sealed in the dark was one man&#039;s soul.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sealed in the dark was the Crab&#039;s true role.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen slings a silver-inlaid varnished ash mandolin strung with twisted silver over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen takes a step forward and glances around ready to continue her presentation.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites evenly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Hochstib&#039;s knight, Sir Maldon, was sent, an abandoned keep to hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     This being a lame basis for a claim to the landing so we&#039;re told.&lt;br /&gt;
     Five companions went along to explore the abandoned hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     Lords Berr, Pip, Geoff,  Heinrich and Brinn all warriors brave and bold.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites hushedly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The stone tower loomed above the overgrown surrounding marsh,&lt;br /&gt;
     Flanked by eight apple trees in two rows of four, like grim guards.&lt;br /&gt;
     Under gabled roof and battlement peered arrow slit windows sparse.&lt;br /&gt;
     It presented a sinister appearance with its disrepair so harsh.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen takes a couple of tentative step backward.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites mysteriously:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Our heroes were met only by rodents amid the layer of dust and mold.&lt;br /&gt;
     But as they entered the masters room a dark mystery was about to unfold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A headless skeleton lay sprawled on the floor, feet away the head had rolled.&lt;br /&gt;
     Collapsed against the wall, the bed held a corpse, boots still on, long cold.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen leans back.&lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen gazes around room and pauses.)&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites dramatically:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In the chest next to the bed, they found the effects of the former master.&lt;br /&gt;
     Within, a heaume, a pair of golden spurs and a small sack of leather.&lt;br /&gt;
     A silk surcoat embroidered with a crimson hawk, the charge of Sir Trevar.&lt;br /&gt;
     Under the chests corner was found a sheet of parchment, most of a letter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen removes a piece of parchment from in her silk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen gazes with interest at the piece of parchment in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen simply states, &amp;quot;Which read:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen cryptically reads, &amp;quot;And as I have conveyed my reasons for notifying the dwarven clans of my discovery to my lord, the baron, I will await his reply. I doubt he will be pleased. I feel my finding it upon the day of the Equinox was fated, and.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen glaces up abruptly.)&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen says, &amp;quot;The message was cut short.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen put a piece of parchment in her silk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites speculatively:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The skeleton wore a pouch and grasped the rusted dagger in its possession.&lt;br /&gt;
     The point and edges of the dagger were less rusted, on final examination.&lt;br /&gt;
      It appeared that they were coated with something that inhibited some corrosion.&lt;br /&gt;
     Was Sir Trevar poisoned while beheading his assailant? Was the Speculation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites hushedly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Discovered inside the skeleton&#039;s pouch, a small parchment, wire creation.&lt;br /&gt;
     Finely woven red gold wires pressed into parchment, a triangular triskelion.&lt;br /&gt;
     Known in court as a &amp;quot;three cornered pardon&amp;quot;, for an act of soon initiation.&lt;br /&gt;
     Given to those who may run afoul of the law while entrusted with a &amp;quot;mission&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites direly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Had the Baron sent an assassin to kill Sir Trevar allowing for replacement?&lt;br /&gt;
     Baron Hochstib turned his sight to Vornavis hoping to increase his settlement.&lt;br /&gt;
     He blockaded Baron Malwind&#039;s supplies and hoped to stall Landing aid to Vornavis.&lt;br /&gt;
     After Vornavis he would move to stake claim to the landing environment.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen moves forward a step and stand firmly.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites defiantly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Sir Maldon had served loyally, but his son&#039;s death was the Baron&#039;s responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;
     So Sir Maldon would foil the Baron&#039;s ambitions, if there was any possibility.&lt;br /&gt;
     The baron&#039;s Landing claim was based in part on the lack of any local nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
     Thus was born the chivalric knightly order&lt;br /&gt;
         The Silver Gryphons, Officially.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen raises her fist defiantly.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen strikes a heroic pose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen recites evenly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Because the Empress aided the baron with mandis crystals to drain mana entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
     The Gryphon order would consist of warriors to protect the Landing non-magically.&lt;br /&gt;
     The baron couldn&#039;t move troops here before the spring, and no imperial troops, practically.&lt;br /&gt;
     By then the Order would help to train the locals and curb the general chaos with chivalry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geijon says, &amp;quot;Officially recognized on th&#039; Scrolls of Immuron, perhaps even twice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen states, &amp;quot;This song was popular at the time, so I&#039;m told:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen slings a silver-inlaid varnished ash mandolin strung with twisted silver off from over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Soul arrived on Landing&#039;s water,&lt;br /&gt;
     Shorn of son, no longer father.&lt;br /&gt;
     A dozen warriors strong and brave,&lt;br /&gt;
     Stepped up and heard the story grave.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Holding searched and death was found.&lt;br /&gt;
     Death abed and beheaded to ground.&lt;br /&gt;
     Assassin&#039;s badge and parchment torn.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knife in hand and armor worn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Forge discovered, dwarves revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
     Message to Baron safely repealed.&lt;br /&gt;
     A dozen warriors stood side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
     And swore to avenge that dwarven tide.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Regwen plays her varnished ash mandolin, some silver stars suddenly flow out of the instrument, pulled into existence from the magic of her song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Landing Safe and People true.&lt;br /&gt;
     The warriors pledged their strength to You.&lt;br /&gt;
     A dozen warriors a fortress small.&lt;br /&gt;
     Warriors against the Landing&#039;s fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen slings a silver-inlaid varnished ash mandolin strung with twisted silver over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Regwen gazes around the room and smiles widely.)&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen exclaims, &amp;quot;Hail the Silver Gryphons!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Regwen, you say, &amp;quot;Thank you, Herald.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Well done, herald.  I look forward to sharing with the chamberlain your talents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;I adore that telling.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Now, Batchwyn Missoni has another Tale of the Order to share.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Bathcwyn, the floor is yours.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni strides in front of a chair of undyed silk propped on flora-motif carved illthorn legs and sits, perching primly on the front half of the seat.  She crosses her ankles and tucks her feet beneath the chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni begins, &amp;quot;This is a song of the rescue of Korm from Jantalar. It was written shortly after the event by Eirinn the Bard, daughter of Aonghus and Elana, and was collected for our library by Lord Errick Dyfedd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni rubs her vortex stone prism.  A pale mist swirls sinuously down her arm and coalesces into the form of a pale ethereal mandolin twinkling with prismatic motes along argentine strings in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni smooths her skirts before resting the mandolin on her lap, her fingers readied against the metal of the strings that gleams in the warm firelight.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Come, gather, hear my tale&lt;br /&gt;
     Of valor and nobility&lt;br /&gt;
     Of Gryphons gathered in their flight&lt;br /&gt;
     To keep our Landing free.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni begins a soft but measured strumming on her mandolin, the tempo a brisk march in a major key.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In past there was a foul man, a Baron born and bred&lt;br /&gt;
     To battle fierce he&#039;d often go, his coming we would dread.&lt;br /&gt;
     Gryphons mighty, gathered &#039;round, Fierce warriors and brave&lt;br /&gt;
     To join a dwarven man stepped forth, his help he freely gave.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Grief! Agony! Pain and loss!&lt;br /&gt;
     Brave Korm was gone to us&lt;br /&gt;
     Jantalar, you&#039;ll pay the price&lt;br /&gt;
     Your death is worth the fuss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Through sewers rank and smelly walked past the horrid bugs&lt;br /&gt;
     Though so quietly not to be heard our motions soon were caught&lt;br /&gt;
     We stumbled on a half-ogre, half-centaur: mighty guard&lt;br /&gt;
     Gurbah, how we treated you, makes my heart-strings taut.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Battle-lust had reign of us, first thought was to attack&lt;br /&gt;
     But shocked and awed, our mouths gaped wide, no defense did he lack.&lt;br /&gt;
     Rightly so you angered were, the Gryphons tried to mend&lt;br /&gt;
     Though one could not believe that you could become a friend.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sparks shoot up from the flames to dance in the hot air above the fire.  They glow brightly for a time and then slowly burn up and fly away as ash on the wind.  You feel this is a commentary on life itself, and it saddens you for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;First duel came and went with ease, you turned his blade aside.&lt;br /&gt;
     Yet rather than your vengeance seek, you watched our heroes bide&lt;br /&gt;
     No magic in those sordid halls beneath the horrid land&lt;br /&gt;
     And firmly &#039;gainst our Gryphons you still had might to stand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Surpised were we at your advice of a hidden room&lt;br /&gt;
     Saved the Lord who with you fought from his very doom&lt;br /&gt;
     Magic worked our hero lived, and still you gave them pause&lt;br /&gt;
     So, thus when the next Lord spoke, his challenge had a cause.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni transitions from the series of chords to brisk arpeggios, the notes ringing more quickly as the song builds in intensity.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;This time the battle longer went, and yet you still stood fast&lt;br /&gt;
     Our heroes wondered what to do, they needed to get past&lt;br /&gt;
     The healer sweet had seen you wince, and cured you from your pain&lt;br /&gt;
     And grateful you decided to join the Gryphon&#039;s train.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;&amp;quot;You Lords,&amp;quot; you said, &amp;quot;Are brave to stand up to my skill&lt;br /&gt;
     And I have more respect for you than my master&#039;s will.&lt;br /&gt;
     I will travel on with you, to see what next will be.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
     And that is how the Gryphons Silver passed to the next key.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Once again we walked our course down a darkened stair&lt;br /&gt;
     We came upon an iron door that led to Gods know where&lt;br /&gt;
     The first who had raised sword before, humble, knelt to pick&lt;br /&gt;
     We were glad to hear the sound of one submissive &amp;quot;click.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni sets her hands on the strings, stifling the notes to allow her voice to ring clearly across the hall. Her fingers snap with a *click*.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Evil! Horrors! What we beheld!&lt;br /&gt;
     The dungeon, cells abound&lt;br /&gt;
     A bloated arm from one of them&lt;br /&gt;
     Yet no corpse to be found!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni touches the mandolin&#039;s strings again. A series of hushed notes stream forth to match a hushed tone in her voice.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Dread pursued within our hearts as we approached a door&lt;br /&gt;
     Black as ever horrors were, from ceiling to the floor&lt;br /&gt;
     A scream rang crisply through the room, an elven woman: Dead&lt;br /&gt;
     No help in sight but pray for her, avenge her death instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Our breaths were held when the Lord knelt the black door for to try&lt;br /&gt;
     And in the distance, the dreadful note of a child&#039;s cry&lt;br /&gt;
     We hastened quickly through the door afraid of what lay there&lt;br /&gt;
     And what we saw I guarantee turned white our every hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We rushed on through, tried not to look, our next door stood in wait&lt;br /&gt;
     And opened came the lock, submitting to its fate&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni slows her fingers, the notes of the mandolin fading slowly this time, rather than abruptly stopping. She waits for silence, her eyes scanning those gathered before beginning anew, this time sans accompaniment.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni softly says, &amp;quot;Our hearts stopped cold... To what we saw a-lying on the floor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni grimly says, &amp;quot;Korm&#039;s corpse lay there, abused and dead, amongst the blood and gore.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Fortune was that we could still return him from Her grasp&lt;br /&gt;
     Sweet Lorminstra decided to release him to our clasp.&lt;br /&gt;
     All he wore: a stained loincloth, and blood ran from his pores&lt;br /&gt;
     And calming Gurbah seemed the next of our long chores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Retribution in the lands of Jantalar is fierce&lt;br /&gt;
     The torture room proves death not proud, and brings us to more tears&lt;br /&gt;
     But yet, Gurbah, ye set us free, our friend away to tow&lt;br /&gt;
     And back into the small store room, our party was to go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Korm, bespelled and weak, bereft of his arm, alive&lt;br /&gt;
     The Silver Gryphons, cleric mage, and our wily guide&lt;br /&gt;
     We ran for our lives back through the dank and dismal sewer maze&lt;br /&gt;
      Until Talenni, Queen of Thieves, had caught us in her gaze.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Now that the end was in sight, we finally could smile&lt;br /&gt;
     Korm took a look at the footpad, and turned toward his exile&lt;br /&gt;
     We stopped him, and explained to him that she had helped us out&lt;br /&gt;
     And so the rescue was complete, we&#039;d freed him from the lout.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni sings with a soaring soprano:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;So, come ye gentles one and all, and praise to the great people&lt;br /&gt;
     Who valiantly fought and won the freedom of their friend&lt;br /&gt;
     The Silver Gryphons, Warriors brave who fight to keep us free&lt;br /&gt;
     For them this ballad has been sung, Their Glory I decree!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Missoni strums a single chord, allowing its cheerful tone to fade to silence before bowing her head.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Well done, Bathcwyn Missoni.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Missoni, you say, &amp;quot;A truly, truly wonderful rendition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;The footpad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos turns to face Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa asks, &amp;quot;What was the name again?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Missoni says, &amp;quot;The Queen of Thieves? Talenni.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa looks lost in thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You clear your throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Missoni says, &amp;quot;You are familar with her daughter, i think.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Ah, then it is the same one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods at Missoni.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Thank you again, Missoni.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Now that we have learned a bit about our history, our first competitor for the evening!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods at Geijon.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Delindra, the floor is yours!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra says, &amp;quot;Good evening, friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos grins at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
An eclipse of spectral moths flutters out from inside Delindra&#039;s cloak, dropping a gold-inlaid maple lute into her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan applauds Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra sets her fingers to her lute strings, playing a soft, slow tune, her normally jovial expression changing to one of intense focus.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra gently says, &amp;quot;I collected this song from a man who wrote about a voyage, a tale he had heard many times before putting it to music. Which voyage is unimportant, though; enough that it was long, and hard, and the crew faced many dangers along the way. After great struggles and conflicts, they were successful in their quest, which was to keep their families safe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra gently says, &amp;quot;But... as they set out once more, they realized they were in uncharted waters, with no idea of how to find their way home again. This is their song of hope, of perseverance in adversity, that they might survive the journey, and see their loves once more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings flowingly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Bring her head  round, into the weather&lt;br /&gt;
     Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Sailing homeward&lt;br /&gt;
     To  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;What care we, boys, how white the waves are?&lt;br /&gt;
     What care we, boys, of wind or weather?&lt;br /&gt;
     When we know that every inch is&lt;br /&gt;
     Sailing homeward&lt;br /&gt;
     To  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra appears to be absorbed in her hand moving across the fretboard, her face stoic as she continues to play.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings clearly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Clap your eyes on the sun arising&lt;br /&gt;
     Gulls and doves fill the sky with feathers&lt;br /&gt;
     Cut her loose, boys, for the h&#039;rizon&lt;br /&gt;
     We ll be home soon&lt;br /&gt;
     In  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings melodically:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Bring her head  round, into the weather&lt;br /&gt;
     Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Sailing homeward&lt;br /&gt;
     To  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings wistfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Our loves await us, on the bank, or&lt;br /&gt;
     Looking seaward from the heather&lt;br /&gt;
     Pull her round, boys, then you ll anchor&lt;br /&gt;
      Ere the sun sets&lt;br /&gt;
     On  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings tenderly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Our loves are waiting, anticipating&lt;br /&gt;
     For the end of our adventures.&lt;br /&gt;
     Don t you cry, loves, we re returning&lt;br /&gt;
     To the home shores&lt;br /&gt;
     Of  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra pauses a moment before launching into the final chorus, taking a deep breath. The words come soft and slow at first, her voice and lute playing slowly growing in intensity before the final words ring out.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra sings slowly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Bring her head  round, into the weather&lt;br /&gt;
     Heel ye ho, boys, let her go, boys&lt;br /&gt;
     Sailing homeward&lt;br /&gt;
     To  Haven Bay&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Delindra bows her head, hands going still across her lute. She closes her eyes as the final notes ring out, then slowly silence.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra curtsies.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, Missoni murmurs, &amp;quot;Beautiful.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra murmurs, &amp;quot;Thank you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Kothos leans forward, running his fingers lightly over his eyelids, wiping away a little moisture.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Very well, the judges have shared their scores with me. We will of course announce the results at the end of our tales.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Now, let us welcome Morandas!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Morandas, you have the floor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas reaches up and brushes a speck of dust from one of the lenses of his spectacles.&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas bows to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Inclining your head slightly, you offer the most minimal of bows to Morandas with an air of utmost politeness.&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas puts a black silk tophat on his head.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas says, &amp;quot;Before I sing, I&#039;d like to say a few words.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas says, &amp;quot;So many are gone, and won&#039;t return.  I am grateful to be here.  Lorminstra guide you all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas says, &amp;quot;Please join my wife Temperess so she can whisper something to you so you can hear my song ... in a special way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings earnestly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It started as a simple stroll through Town Square Central&#039;s streets,&lt;br /&gt;
     With Lorminstra&#039;s will to guide me, and my mission to complete.&lt;br /&gt;
     But fate had planned a jest for me, as I marched with holy might,&lt;br /&gt;
     I stubbed my toe on an amulet......&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings shriekingly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And yelped in startled fright!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas marches up to Geijon and gives him a crisp salute.&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings gleefully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, I tried, I truly tried, to keep my balance there,&lt;br /&gt;
     But the goddess must&#039;ve chuckled as I tumbled through town square.&lt;br /&gt;
     I cackled when I hit the ground, my dignity undone,&lt;br /&gt;
     For a cleric&#039;s life&#039;s not graceful, but.......&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas winks at Regwen.&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings playfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, it&#039;s fun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas pokes Evia in the ribs. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings grumpily:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;My head met a wooden shield with a resonating thud,&lt;br /&gt;
     I saw stars and cackled loudly as I rose up from the mud.&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;Lorminstra, grant me mercy!&amp;quot; I cried to the open skies,&lt;br /&gt;
     Yet a snort escaped my lips&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings sadly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And tears filled my eyes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings melodically:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, I tried, I truly tried, to keep my balance there,&lt;br /&gt;
     But the goddess must&#039;ve chuckled as I tumbled through town square.&lt;br /&gt;
     I cackled when I hit the ground, my dignity undone,&lt;br /&gt;
     For a cleric&#039;s life&#039;s not graceful, but.......&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings playfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, it&#039;s fun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas pokes Deavon in the ribs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings somberly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Just as I stood steady, a broadsword blocked my path,&lt;br /&gt;
     Ochre and sharp, it sent me flying,oh, the aftermath!&lt;br /&gt;
     I flailed like a whirlwind, my robes a tangled mess,&lt;br /&gt;
     But through it all, I laughed aloud,what a blessed mess!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles at Evia!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Evia cackles at Morandas!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas winks at Meglorna.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas begins to flirt with Temperess.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings merrily:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The townsfolk gawked and giggled as I crawled on hands and knees,&lt;br /&gt;
     Muttering, &amp;quot;Lorminstra, guide me, through trials such as these!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
     Though battered, bruised, and weary, my faith remained intact,&lt;br /&gt;
     And every cackle echoed forth as proof of that one fact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings boisterously:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, I tried, I truly tried, to keep my balance there,&lt;br /&gt;
     But the goddess must&#039;ve chuckled as I tumbled through town square.&lt;br /&gt;
     I cackled when I hit the ground, my dignity undone,&lt;br /&gt;
     For a cleric&#039;s life&#039;s not graceful, but......&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings playfully:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, it&#039;s fun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings earnestly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;So here&#039;s my grand confession, of my bumbling, holy plight,&lt;br /&gt;
     I may not walk with elegance, but I cackle through the night.&lt;br /&gt;
     For even in my clumsiness, Lorminstra lights my way,&lt;br /&gt;
     I&#039;m Morandas the Cackling Cleric, and I cackle all bloody day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles at Ardwen!&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings thunderously:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;So here&#039;s my grand confession, of my bumbling, holy plight,&lt;br /&gt;
     I may not walk with elegance, but I cackle through the night.&lt;br /&gt;
     For even in my clumsiness, Lorminstra lights my way,&lt;br /&gt;
     I&#039;m Morandas the Cackling Cleric, and I cackle all bloody day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cackles!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas sings thunderously:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I&#039;m Morandas the Cackling Cleric, and I cackle all bloody day!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas says, &amp;quot;Tis good to be back.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Morandas bows to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inclining your head slightly, you offer the most minimal of bows to Morandas with an air of utmost politeness.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Thank you, once again, Morandas. Up next, we have Alosaka.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka exclaims, &amp;quot;Well, if you all know me, you know my tales usually aren&#039;t as happy as the ones we just heard... but I promise not to torment you with my singing, so it should all work out!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;I have a tale tonight about an unusual virtue. Not courage, or strength, or wisdom. Not temperance, or justice. Not mercy or faith.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Sometimes, when the world presents its darkest face, and all around is confusion and chaos, filled with people acting in the worst possible way, because they are misled into believing it is only pathway to good... I think Discernment might be the greatest virtue of them all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Discernment. The ability to tell what is true from false. Right from wrong.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And so, friends, let me present the tale of Squire Tupelo of Mestanir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka bows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Once, in the duchy of Mestanir, there was born a hale young lad. Even as a child his parents and neighbors could see the extraordinary strength in his arms.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka strikes a heroic pose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;As soon as he was able to handle a shovel, he was out pretending it was a sword, playing Knights and Bandits with his friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka ponders, &amp;quot;I suppose some things never get old.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka grins.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Tupelo continued to grow, and it wasn&#039;t long before he came to the attention of the local Baron&#039;s men, who were always scouting for talent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka squints.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;He had all the makings of a squire, at least. Maybe, they whispered, even a knight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka exclaims, &amp;quot;And so, barely old enough to grow the first wisps of a beard, he began his training!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka strokes his clean-shaven face, then abruptly strikes a fighting pose, punching at the air with quick huffs of breath!)&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;He trained hard. For years he worked, always hearing the knights and other squires say how talented he was. How gifted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slowly says, &amp;quot;How... special.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka tilts his head down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And yet, every year, when the tournament came along, now-Squire Tupelo always found himself just outside the champion&#039;s circle.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka rubs his shoulder, as if nursing a sore muscle.)&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Alosaka&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Every year it was like that. And every year, his mentor assured him that the victory wasn&#039;t important. What mattered was that he continued to grow. To build his strength and endurance and learn the ways of knighthood.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Victory... was just a piece of ribbon to hang from his spear, after all. No need to get all upset over it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And all this was true, of course. Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka quietly repeats, &amp;quot;Of course...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;But, of course, it wasn&#039;t. Victory mattered. Everyone knew that. His mentor&#039;s words were just a soothing balm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And so Squire Tupelo spent every day training. Working his muscles until they burned. Until his bones ached.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And it was in the fields of Mestanir one day that Squire Tupelo heard the voice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slurs, &amp;quot;Brave sssssquire....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos glances at Alosaka.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka stoutly exclaims, &amp;quot;Who&#039;s there!  Show yourself!&amp;quot; Tupelo shouted!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morandas cowers away from Alosaka.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Again the voice came.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slurs, &amp;quot;Down... here...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka tilts his head down, then suddenly leaps back in surprise.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;There, in front of him,&amp;quot; Alosaka points at the floor, &amp;quot;Hiding in the grass was a viper, just feet away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka asks, &amp;quot;Said Tupelo, &amp;quot;Did... did you speak?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slurs, &amp;quot;Indeed I did,&amp;quot; the viper said. &amp;quot;I have been watching you for months. You are so strong, and diligent, and brave.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka leans forward.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka&#039;s autumn adder flicks its forked tongue once, then raises its head from its post on Alosaka&#039;s neck.  With a lazy blink, it slithers down into his grasp, its movements languid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka considers the snake in his hand, half-warily, half in wonder.)&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka&#039;s autumn adder writhes slightly as he touches its skin.  As it moves, its sinuous grace is plain to see.  The carefully controlled roll of its muscular body causes the ambient light to momentarily glint off of it.  It shifts for just a moment, then goes still once more.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Alosaka the Consoler.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Human of the Tehir tribes.&lt;br /&gt;
He is average height.  He appears to be very young.  He has fiery deep black eyes and nut brown skin.  He has short, tousled brown hair worn in an array of tight zigzag braids decorated with midnight blue feathers.  He has a delicate face and a small nose.&lt;br /&gt;
He has some lines of dark-inked scripture on his wrist, an inked leafing acantha vine crawling across a trellis of slender bones on his arm, and an eclipsed sun and moon tattoo on his arm.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a ruby-dappled sable autumn adder in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a steely grey frieze coat buttoned with bismuth crystals, an ivory white braided cotton strap with a lacquered rosewood biwa embossed with bronze willow trees strapped to it slung over his shoulder, a faded ivory medicine satchel reinforced with corroded copper rivets, an ivory silk shirt with topaz-pinned cuffs, a simple blued steel wristchain, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a slim bracelet of suede-woven acantha leaves, a twisted gold ring, a charcoal leather map case patterned with brushed gold leaf designs, some belted ashen grey wool trousers, and some shadowy cobalt morduska hide boots buckled with scrollworked silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to his autumn adder, Alosaka asks, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been watching... you&#039;ve seen me?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And the snake replied, &amp;quot;Oh, yesss, I have. And it is ssssuch a tragedy that you have been overlooked. Your victoriessss denied. You deserve them. You deserve them so much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka leans back.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Said Tupelo, &amp;quot;I... I do deserve them, don&#039;t I? Last time, I should have won that last joust, but sun got in my eyes, and damned Trigenor swept me off my steed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka exclaims, &amp;quot;Tupelo continued, &amp;quot;And... The year before, I should have scored that final hit against Squire Polonus, but the judge didn&#039;t see it!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slowly empties his lungs.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And the snake replied, &amp;quot;You sssshould have won, indeed. They cheated you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka gazes thoughtfully at his autumn adder.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slowly says, &amp;quot;Said Tupelo, &amp;quot;That... maybe...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And the snake, sensing his confusion, continued, &amp;quot;It is wrong. But I can help you. I can make sure you win next time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka bites his lip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka asks, &amp;quot;Said Tupelo, &amp;quot;Wouldn&#039;t that be cheating myself?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka asks, &amp;quot;And the snake said, &amp;quot;Is it truly cheating, if it corrects an injustice? Isn&#039;t it just... leveling the field?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka glances away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Now, Tupelo had been taught moral clarity by his mentor. He knew right from wrong. But he also knew that, in this world, champions were exalted. And he so desperately wanted to be recognized for what he knew was true: that he was the best.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka glances at a ruby-dappled sable autumn adder in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And so, Tupelo accepted the snake&#039;s bargain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slurs, &amp;quot;&amp;quot;When next you duel in the championship, hide me in your armor, and I will ride on your weapon. And when you cross spears, I will kiss your opponent, and you will be victorious.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka lifts his autumn adder toward his collarbone, where it slithers around his neck, forming itself into a perfectly symmetrical curve.  Once it&#039;s in position, the autumn adder becomes perfectly still.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;When the day of the Championship came, Tupelo was ready. His body was hardened with months of training. His nerves were afire. And hidden in his armor, coiled around his right arm, was the snake.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos looks thoughtfully at Alosaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka removes a sumac-hafted iron spear with a painted saw-scaled viper wrapped around it from in his ivory satchel.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka gently taps his iron spear, and the painted saw-scaled viper coiled around it hisses as it hurriedly slithers down the length of it in a tight spiral.  Just as quickly, it turns and slinks back to its original position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka shivers.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;With every match, whenever his spear crossed his opponent&#039;s, the viper snuck out to grace them with a kiss. Their limbs grew heavy. Their breath rattled in their lungs, and it was child&#039;s play to knock them down.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Match after match, he defeated his fellow squires. None could stand against him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka touches his spear, and the painted saw-scaled viper coiled around it recoils defensively and rattles its tail.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And when the day was done, Tupelo stood alone in the champion&#039;s circle. All the rest, all his opponents, were taken sick and exhausted to recover.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;&#039;A miracle!&amp;quot; The assembled crowd cheered. But their eyes betrayed them. They whispered to each other. His mentor frowned and glowered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka slowly empties his lungs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;But Tupelo cared not. He had what he wanted. The champion&#039;s ribbon. He strung it from his spear with pride and waved it overhead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka grips the spear and raises it high, but his arm trembles, and the spear&#039;s tip dances in the air.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka gulps.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Tupelo bent down to whisper his thanks to the snake, but it was gone. It had escaped, slipped away, slithering between distracted feet. Unseen, but not gone. No... never gone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka turns around.&lt;br /&gt;
(Alosaka swallows nervously.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;And though he rarely saw it -- only at night, while lying abed, as a shadow slithering across the floor -- the viper lived in the Tupelo&#039;s house forever after.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka put a sumac-hafted iron spear with a painted saw-scaled viper wrapped around it in his ivory satchel.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka bows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka says, &amp;quot;Discernment. The ability to tell truth from falsehood. Right from wrong.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka sits down.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr exclaims, &amp;quot;A great tale!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Please allow a moment for the judges to discuss the tale.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Also making good use of that spear, finally.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka blushes a florid shade of dark red.&lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka ducks his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You grin at Alosaka.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka&#039;s autumn adder flicks its forked tongue once, then raises its head from its post on Alosaka&#039;s neck.  With a lazy  &lt;br /&gt;
Alosaka puckers up and blows a kiss at a ruby-dappled sable autumn adder in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Thank you again, Alosaka for the fine tale.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Sir Balantine, you have the floor!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Many consider the Code of Chivalry the domain of formal organizations or Orders of Knights, warriors, monks or priests&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;But this brief poem is for each of ye individually, with Chivalry in your heart, and Honor on your mind, as my father Hammer taught me&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Will You?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;When danger comes, will you stand or run?&lt;br /&gt;
      Will you endure the beating sun?&lt;br /&gt;
      Climb the rugged mountain steep?&lt;br /&gt;
      Suffer silently or will you weep?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Will you face your demons down?&lt;br /&gt;
      Endure the challenge of renown?&lt;br /&gt;
      Or will from your threat now flee?&lt;br /&gt;
      And the evil refuse to see?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Shall you take courage and pay the cost?&lt;br /&gt;
      For ships at sea are often tossed&lt;br /&gt;
      Or in safe harbor will you stay?&lt;br /&gt;
      Abandon risk to seek safe play?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For nothing ventured nothing gained&lt;br /&gt;
      Can your emotions keep contained?&lt;br /&gt;
      Or will you cower in trembling fear?&lt;br /&gt;
      When rumors of nearing death you hear?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Will you choose to defend the meek?&lt;br /&gt;
      Or with the crowd do you hide and seek?&lt;br /&gt;
      Choose your poison which to drink&lt;br /&gt;
      Learn to swim and not to sink&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For life comes to all but once&lt;br /&gt;
      The wise man chooses, not the dunce&lt;br /&gt;
      Will you years from now regret your fate?&lt;br /&gt;
      And in obscurity your choices hate?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Now lies opportunity in your grasp&lt;br /&gt;
      So seize the day and do not gasp&lt;br /&gt;
      At others&#039; deeds and widespread fame&lt;br /&gt;
      For there is time to make your name&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Will you train when others rest?&lt;br /&gt;
      Will you learn to be your best?&lt;br /&gt;
      For there is time enough to sleep&lt;br /&gt;
      When breath is gone, and night is deep&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine tilts his head down.&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine bows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Balantine, you say, &amp;quot;Thank you Sir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Please everyone give us a moment while the judges discuss the scores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;First, I would just take a moment of you time to once again thank you for attending. I am certain that both Drung and Elbromo would have certainly enjoyed the tales shared tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Let us raise a glass in their memory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I would suggest the stout.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pour yourself a stein of dwarven stout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gutstorm raises his invar dwarven stein in a toast and proclaims:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While we are here, let us enjoy this drink so dear, and for those who are not, let them know they&#039;ll ne&#039;er be forgot.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You lay your palm across the arching symbol of two knotwork grizzly bears on your vultite brooch, your fingers curling around the vultite edges, and bow your head in a moment of respect for all those that have come before you, for all those who have fallen at your side, and for those that are yet to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Now, I am sure you are all eager to hear the final scores, but before we do. As I mentioned earlier, we are celebrating our thirtieth anniversary this year.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You loudly state, &amp;quot;Our Founding celebration will continue on the 16th of next month. The Twilight Gallery in Vornavis will be hosting a collection of artifacts of the Order. Join us as we walk through and display historic items.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;We thank the Gallery of course, for hosting our modest collection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking appreciatively to you, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is hardly modest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Something to look forward to!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Now, this was a difficult year for the judges. Dare I say, more so than prior years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;In third place, we have Squire Delindra!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;In second place tonight. Morandas!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Finally, in first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Alosaka!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You exclaim, &amp;quot;Thank you to all of our competitors, and especially, let us thank the Herald and Bathcwyn for their additional performances tonight!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the discussion hosted by Sir [[Cryheart]], held at the Gryphon Holding in the summer of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]].  It has been edited to focus on the performance and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 [Gryphon Holding, Great Hall]&lt;br /&gt;
A light draft stirs the banners draped overhead, each measure of silk representing a knight of the Order.  Dominating the room is a massive oak table with a dozen tall chairs around it.  Three smaller tables are set up in an alcove off the eastern wall for more private gatherings.  Elaborate figurines of former members line the mantel of a huge fireplace set at the far end of the room.  Flanking the hearth, floor-to-ceiling shelves hold a wide selection of reading material and ancient tomes.  You also see a rough oak table with some stuff on it, a bat-eared dappled cream kitten, the Oxhammer disk, the translucent quartz Helnora disk veined in burnt umber, the Regwen disk, the Balantine disk, the Sirona disk, the Geijon disk, a white monir table burned with a keep-overlooked seaside cityscape with some stuff on it, a live-edge thanot table set on spiraled rakka horn legs with some stuff on it, a newel staircase and a wooden ladder.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Great Lady Aeryi, Svenka, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Sirona, Great Lord Muiritz who is sitting, Willowthorns, Dame Evia, Sir Geijon, Magister Raelee, Helnora, Lord Everall, Great Lord Dethnyain, Rivienne, Hospitaller Yukito who is sitting, Perigourd, Lord Khazaann, Sister-at-arms Regwen, Puptilian, Sir Balantine, Lady Raindove, Sir Cryheart, Arena Hero Missoni, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren who is sitting, Sister-in-arms Mourdeyan&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Argent light blooms from your sable plate armor&#039;s core as you cross your forearm over your chest and execute a short bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khazaann faces a diamond-pomelled vultite greatsword inlaid with silver griffins on the blade on a carved oak mantel and renders a sharp salute with his dwarven stout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Alright friends, guests, Hospitallers and Magisters, I think we can begin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You clearly state, &amp;quot;Good evening, once again, everyone, and thank you for joining us tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You continue, &amp;quot;Our thirtieth anniversary celebration continues. Some of you who have been attending our monthly events may have realized that we are running with a chivalric theme for every event.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You add, &amp;quot;Tonight, we are fortunate to have Sir Cryheart with us to lead a discussion on Honor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod appreciatively at Cryheart.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;This is a topic that Sir Cryheart has been discussing since  5106. And I imagine well before that as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;You can find a copy of the talk he held with Sir Shirkon in our library.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;A long time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;From the writings of Sir Pyrrhon, the talismans of Kai, or our eastern Vaalorian comrades, there are many different perspectives on honor. We have covered a wide range of them in our prior discussions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Tonight we bring things back closer to home, or, well the Holding. So please, let us give our attention to Sir Cryheart.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You face Cryheart and smartly bring your right fist up to your chest.  Holding it there, you bow deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Sir, the floor is yours.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Ahem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We thank ye all for coming for this discussion regarding honor. Honor is part of a chivalric code we adhere  regarding our oath.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The code of chivalry is a moral and ethical framework that guides the behavior of Order of the Silver Gryphon, emphasizing virtues such as courage, loyalty, honor, and humility.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;There are more.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;This code is integral to the identity of our membership and is based on the ideals of our Order and that of Sir Pyrrhon Von Kammersteyl leader of the Order of the Golvern Star. He also emphasized prowess, piety and fealty.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;This code of chivalry emphasizes the importance of honor and loyalty to serve and protect those whose cause is just. So what would you do if your liege or mayor ordered you to kill a camp of kobolds outside your city due to suspected robbery and murder. To give you time to mull over that scenario wait until the end of this discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Got it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;A scenario we will go over in a bit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The code of chivalry is a moral and ethical code that guides the behavior of our membership for the oath we take.  Outside on the Holding wall we have a plaque that reads: To protect those who cannot protect themselves. To aid those who are in need, if their cause is just. To serve with honor, by example and by deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;So, now let us focus on honor which is based on personal, social and cultural beliefs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;You have heard about honoring your father and mother, brethren in arms and honor among thieves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Honor is a defining virtue for our members and squires. We are expected to be truthful, just, and compassionate. The honor of our Order is the most valued possession, and we go to great lengths to defend it, even if it means risking our lives.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;A variety of tomes have defined honor as a good name or public esteem, reputation, a showing of usually merited respect, or recognition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Beyond simply following rules, honor involves the courage to act rightly, even when faced with personal sacrifices. It&#039;s the practice of upholding one&#039;s highest values, earning respect through consistent, value-driven actions. Such practices are essential for developing trustworthiness and leadership, crucial for ethical societies.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gazing into the flames, your mind wanders.  You relive old adventures and battles and plan greater triumphs yet to be.  It is pleasant to sit here and dream by the fire.  Perhaps you will conquer the world tomorrow, or another day.  There is always a tomorrow.  But for now, the fire lulls you warmly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Beyond simply following rules, honor involves the courage to act rightly, even when faced with personal sacrifices. It&#039;s the practice of upholding one&#039;s highest values, earning respect through consistent, value-driven actions. Such practices are essential for developing trustworthiness and leadership, crucial for ethical societies.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Regarding the previous kobold scenario, how would you proceed? So what do you consider to be honor? Can you provide some examples?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Let me give ye more time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Willowthorns asks, &amp;quot;These are Kobolds we&#039;re talking about?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Let me  give ye a scenario first.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Long time ago, we had invaders to the landing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m going to trust a mayor over a kobold....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;A group of us went to an area we thought where the enemy was.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;As we entered folks began attacking them, not realizing at the moment it had children of the kobolds in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Within a few minutes, many had been slaughtered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everall sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Stelitto&#039;s tribe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian fidgets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;So..again I ask..what would be the best way to handle that situation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye..poor Stiletto was a friend to the Landing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;And I felt ashamed so many of the younguns had been slaughtered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;But..these are kobolds...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;So confusing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Exactly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;Well, there was little information at that point. It was only &#039;suspected&#039; ...so more investigation was needed....certainly not slaughtering them all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Was the cause of the mayor just?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;No.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Willowthorns, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Not all Kobolds are evil.  Not all humans are good.  Its their actions that show their worth and a kobold helped this town a lot.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Consider we had no cause given.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Missoni says, &amp;quot;Kobolds or not, it hardly seems honorable to go to a village and slaughter the denizens wholesale.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Even if they are our enemies, there are still moral considerations.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Kobolds may be pests, but even pests have some rights.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Yukito jerks a thumb toward Puptilian and nods in agreement.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Kobolds hae a different culture, but does that make them all evil?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Willowthorns, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Some Mayors even helped the kobolds in the past.  Or at least one of them did before he was mayor and the kobolds helped the town in return.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren says, &amp;quot;They are sencient beings.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns grunts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dethnyain says, &amp;quot;On persons crime does not indenuate the whole race.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Roelaren.&lt;br /&gt;
Dethnyain says, &amp;quot;Eer one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia takes a bite of her sausage stuffing.&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll continue to entertain this, for now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Willowthorns.&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;Jus nae invite &#039;em ta yer wedding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine winks.&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren says, &amp;quot;And have helped us fight on more than one occasion when the Landing was under attack.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;War is not always a simple case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Roelaren, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;They&#039;ve also been known to attack the Landing though, so one can understand both sides of the concern.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Is honor a simple case?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Svenka says, &amp;quot;No.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Someone give me an example of honor they have experienced?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Kothos says, &amp;quot;When my Mistress&#039;s temple was attacked, and the Inner Sanctum destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;That could be a dangerous question to answer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Kothos says, &amp;quot;You and the Landing mayor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;And by you, I mean the Gryphons.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Came to liberate us, raise our dead, heal our wounded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Despite the fact that we are Lornonites, and often regarded as pests of a different variety.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;You still decided that we were unjustly attacked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, your cause was just.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;That is honor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Our Order serves to protect anyone whose cause is just.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Even when our attacker was the Prelate of Koar.  While not an authority over the Gryphons or the Landing, he would generally be more regarded than Ivasians.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Anyone else?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;What does honor mean to ye?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;Having the courage to stand, even alone, for your convictions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;Just what I was going to say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dethnyain says, &amp;quot;Honor is looking out for and helping anyoen no mater their race or religilious following to uphold the aide to all who cannot aid themselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raindove softly says, &amp;quot;To do the right thing even when it&#039;s not popular or easy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aeryi says, &amp;quot;Doing what is right and just, even if no one is watching.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;Someone guided by integrity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian sarcastically says, &amp;quot;I have the courage to kill every Knight because I think all knights constantly destroy the Landing.  No matter what you say or do I will stand for what I believe is right.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian asks, &amp;quot;Is that honor?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;That is hubris.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirona flashes a quick grin at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;He is giving a scenario.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;I can answer that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;When one&#039;s deed matches one&#039;s word, tis a form of honor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Is every knight attacking the Landing...or those from like Jantalar?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne says, &amp;quot;Upholding another&#039;s dignity, even when they&#039;ve wronged you, even when it would be easy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;It is not ones title in life that grants one honor, but ones actions and deeds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;I Hae fought knights from Jantalar, like all members of our Order.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart points at Evia.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Exactly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Oxhammer says, &amp;quot;Choosing the harder right over the easier wrong.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Just a passing thought I had..&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Part of the idea of why people will sometimes use the expression &amp;quot;it was my honor&amp;quot; to do so, meaning there was an implied respect for and by others for some situation. it is an encompassing idea or value.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Honor comes from all folks if they hae it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You casually note, &amp;quot;Sir Pyrrhon would say it is the sum of all of your actions, and that it can be gained, and lost, and so it must be protected.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Sum of our actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Or consider even a similar title implied situation of calling a magistrate or some such...Your Honor, as one of such rank is expected to behave a certain way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Which means an accumluation o&#039;time collected of your actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Not just one act makes ye honorable to the total.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Honor your duty, oaths and such across the spectrum.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns asks, &amp;quot;Is it not also true that one action can make up for many bad actions?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dethnyain says, &amp;quot;This was the way 35 eons ago and still is to this day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;In then end, aye, it can.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Willowthorns.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;But society will judge.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Choosing to help those that can&#039;t help themselves, to uphold life, uphold freedom.  To go against orders knowing your actions will get you into trouble.  To stand infront of an enemy even if you can&#039;t beat them.  To call out your friends when they are wrong and stand up to them and make them realize their error.  To stand the line without being asked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart points at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Puptilian here is practically quoting Sir Brinn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;Honor lets those we mean to protect know they can trust us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Another example of honor encompassing many values.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee takes a drink from her jasmine-scented tea.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Can ye honor an enemy?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Respect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;Always, you would be a fool not to.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren says, &amp;quot;Depends on what the enemy is doing and why.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;There can be many examples of what and what you cannot respect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raindove softly asks, &amp;quot;Aye.  Even an enemy can not make ye compromise your honor.  Treating an enemy honorably is an age old thing is it not?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;You honor us with your respectful approach to a sitation comes to mind, such as, treat a captive or the dead a certain way, even if perhaps they were an &amp;quot;enemy&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;An enemy can have honor.  Doesn&#039;t always happen and we dont see much of it here in the Landing but does happens sometimes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;I&#039;ve known some to show their own expression of it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren says, &amp;quot;The way ye treat your captives reveals more about ye than ye think.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni agrees, &amp;quot;I am reminded of Tseleth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Before that, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Puptilian, you say, &amp;quot;Just so. Whether they do or not, they should be treated respectfully.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;The are rules, even in war.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Agree.  I would think one&#039;s honor should never be sway but how someone else acts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;So much leans towards the idea of respect, it condenses down to core values held.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos says, &amp;quot;The killing of juveniles should be off-limits, unless the situation is truly dire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee looks thoughtfully at Cryheart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Svantai says, &amp;quot;I can&#039;t imagine any situation that would be so dire that killing of juveniles could even be considered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods grimly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;There was a time ago, that our Order was asked not to attack, Talador  I recall, frrom Earl Jovery.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;That correct?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Svantai, Raelee suggests, &amp;quot;If the juveniles in question are violent and taking lives themselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Svantai, Kothos says, &amp;quot;I was thinking of Rodnay.  Not that I would recommend it or justify it, but...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;So Talador advanced on the Landing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Svantai, Kothos says, &amp;quot;It could have gone very differently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;To not interfere, or to not participate..something like that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Puptilian says, &amp;quot;I thought it was someone standing in for Earl Jovery before we found he was not giving the orders.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Dame Evia has the right of it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;But our Order held back until their catapults attacked the Landing and killed children and citizens.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Stand down.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Raelee, Svantai counters, &amp;quot;I would say that one should consider the circumstances and attempt to disable to danger in the situation before lethal methods are employed, still.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;We broke that vow we would not attack, as we thought the citizens needed protection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Was that honorable?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren says, &amp;quot;I think so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;And we all thought, well we are in deep doo doo now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, we thought we had crossed the line against Earl Jovery.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;Our vow to protect the Landing residents took precedence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;But we continued to protect the Landing after that act.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;We honored our oath of duty.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;There was no chance we could do otherwise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;And still do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Balantine.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Svantai, Raelee replies, &amp;quot;Which then leads to the complexities of the matter - how many lives can be lost at the hands of the juveniles before employing lethal countermeasures is acceptable?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian quietly says, &amp;quot;The Order losing their title still stands out to me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns glances between Raelee and Svantai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;As as result of our action..we lost availability to our Holding here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;For a time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;And yet...being stricken from the book did not sway our decision in the least bit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;But we swore an oath.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking plainly to Raelee, Svantai says, &amp;quot;Children should not be held culpable for situations in which they are groomed to violence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Which is honorable to us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Swore an oath.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;We will always honor our oath of duty.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;And thus shores up the idea that title does not infer honor, at all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Any other examples of honor you can think of?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Svantai, Raelee says, &amp;quot;You speak in the context of applying justice after the fact.  I speak in the context of the battlefield where death is continuing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Raelee, Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;Nip it in the bud, so to speak.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;The battlefield requires action to be immediate to defend.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Geijon says, &amp;quot;One makes th&#039; best decision one can at the time with information at hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geijon nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;The battlefield requires immediate action.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Geijon, Evia says, &amp;quot;In otherwords, a decision made &amp;quot;in honor&amp;quot;, there is always intention to consider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Any other questions?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Svantai, Raelee asks, &amp;quot;The question was not about resorting first to death - it was about when it is acceptable to finally resort to it.  When does one draw that line?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee asks, &amp;quot;What is more determinant of the honor of an action?  The intent or the outcome?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Both.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;And an excellent question.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Evia nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;The intent is based on the oath, and the outcome is following that oath.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Sometimes in war, decisions are made at the moment that days or years later was decided was the wrong choice.  Its never easy to know what will happen in that type of moment.  All I can think of is that you do the best you can at the moment and if anything your honor will also show as you handle things at the moment and its effects after.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee asks, &amp;quot;And if the outcome is not as was intended?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;We adjust.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart smiles at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Aeryi nods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;In an honorable fashion if allowed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Puptilian says, &amp;quot;Part of honor is to accept you can be wrong sometimes and you take the actions to fix it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Puptilian.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Some failures cannot be rectified though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Then your actions to follow must align with your moral decisions and one must live with the consequence of an action, but within the bounds of ones honor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;One can say....I..or we...were wrong.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;War is not so well defined, aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to himself, Everall says, &amp;quot;So honor is not measured by the victories won, but by the burdens bore for others in keeping one&#039;s oath...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;Grace comes with a healthy dose of humility and penance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Done Magister?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Yukito, Svantai says, &amp;quot;Well... spok--- written.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;Not truly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;... but I will cease here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Aye?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne says, &amp;quot;By all means, continue, please dont stop on account of me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne nods encouragingly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito picks up a weathered vellum page.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods slowly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Want to continue?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;I will, then.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee asks, &amp;quot;If an action is taken with ill-intent, but saves more lives than it ends... is compared with an action made with good intent, but ends more lives than it saves.  Is either honorable?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Also depends on whether ye think the cause is just or nae.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Sirona quietly says, &amp;quot;You cannot know the outcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking quietly to Raelee, Kothos says, &amp;quot;It would also depend on who bears the consequence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne asks, &amp;quot;How do we truly know someone&#039;s intention?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;If my liege says to invade Hendor, I would ask why.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;If I thought it was nae honorable or just, I would balk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;And war is war.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Casualties alwys result from wars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;The only way to stop casualties is to seek peace.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;I think we are discovering just how much honor is based upon societies and their belief systems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito shrugs at Willowthorns.&lt;br /&gt;
Khazaann concentrates deeply for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Willowthorns.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;The defintion of honor can vary.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Willowthorns says, &amp;quot;Vastly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan says, &amp;quot;As it is situational also.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart asks, &amp;quot;Did I somewhat answer your question, Magister?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;For now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
          &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Regardless of one&#039;s intent..casualties still occur.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Raelee says, &amp;quot;It is the opening of a debate more than a simple question.  I do recognize time this evening is... limited.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;We can continue at a later time then.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Evia says, &amp;quot;Always wonderful discussion, and tantalizing food for thought.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Rivienne, Kothos asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a chance to ask your question?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne says, &amp;quot;I was simply curious, especially considering your last statement about the changeable definition of honor, if anyone had been expelled from your order for a lack of it? I certainly don&#039;t want to hear any names or stories.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking softly to Cryheart, Raindove says, &amp;quot;Ye never cease to amaze me with the way you ..... invoke thought.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Rivienne, you say, &amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Rivienne, Kothos says, &amp;quot;Nevermind.  And that&#039;s a good one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Thank ye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;I shall nae mention names.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rivienne says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;But we did hae one long time ago, who was exiled unfortunately from our Order.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Sadly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;And that remains within our Order.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine quietly says, &amp;quot;Important lessons, but painful memories.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;While there is nuance in many situations, there are also actions that are dishonorable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Yep.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Let us honor our comrades and the fallen who have passed on to the spirit realm. Thank ye!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;And while one&#039;s honor is their own to guard and protect with good action, when you belong to the Order, and have taken oaths, there are more defined expectations.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;And thank ye for attending if ye are done.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Thank you Sir Cryheart for leading yet another fine discussion on honor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart bows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from the Cavalcade of Mounts at Rumor Woods during the spring of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]].  It has been edited to focus on the performance and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;In an hour, join the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and Azure Sun at Rumor Woods for the cavalcade of Mounts! Join the parade and then the competition for a raffle and prizes, including mounts ranging from common to rare!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You reach inside one of the containers hanging from the steel and hide harness and grab the sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at wastes&lt;br /&gt;
You see a colossal gold wastesdragon, whom you have named &amp;quot;Gulveig.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His wedge-shaped head is masked in black, with tiny pupilless burnished gold eyes peering out from beneath low ridges.  Breaking up the darkness, a daubed pattern of gold scales begins just past his brow and extends all the way to the tip of his tail.  With a thick-scaled hide eye-catching in both contrast and depth of color, his form is stout, his body and tail thick, and his neck and legs short.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a twisted black rope harness, a copper-traced pectoral of overlapping faenor leaves, a soft knitted hunter green and cobalt blue tartan blanket and a selshis skin nakaten with gold cantle spikes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently riding a colossal gold wastesdragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Rumor Woods, Junction]&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple game trails converge on this section of track, their winding tracks sending them deeper into the western and northern confines of the flame-topped aspen grove.  Westerly pathways flank the edges of an enormous jousting field surrounded by high viewing stands topped with colorful pennants.  The ringing sound of anvil strikes echoes from the northeast and is punctuated by the soft sound of neighing from the southeast.  A large wooden sign post laden with signs offers information on the area.  You also see the Roelaren disk, a dark oak and steel wagon, a dwarven blacksmith assistant, a freshly cut stump with a Rumor Woods map on it and an old has-been jouster.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Brother-in-arms Perigourd, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren who is sitting, Four Winds Resident Brimzstone&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest, west, northwest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Riend, Arelder says, &amp;quot;I have been practicing, but as I told Sister Ifanna earlier, I am a bit uncertain I could compete against such talent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder nods to you in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen turns toward you and renders you a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Bristenn muffles something encouraging within the depths of his steel heaume.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder leans forward in his wide saddle, and, using the stirrups as leverage to lift himself farther up, he gives his white stallion a little rub between his ears.  Once he sits back down, he ensures his feet are properly angled in the stirrups, then relaxes his legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Jarnsaixa and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Odelgarde and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Knight Bachelorette.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She is tall and has lean, well-muscled form.  She appears to be mature.  She has round, slightly hooded and green-tinted hazel eyes and bronze skin.  She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull with each sporadically banded in gold-wired coils.  She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.  An angry, ragged scar trails down her left arm starting at her shoulder and ending at her wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a pair of fleece-lined kidskin gloves, a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a rugged grizzly bear pelt throat-clasped in a pennanular brooch, a pair of golvern spurs, and a cross-body swan tartan plaid over a suit of gold-edged full plate of damascened krodera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Oxhammer&#039;s command, a coal black sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his wedge-shaped head.  Oxhammer pulls his double rope harness over the sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s snout and hoists himself up onto the beast&#039;s back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  He tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;We would be honored to have you in parade with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods.&lt;br /&gt;
S &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn wryly adds, &amp;quot;What&#039;s a tourney without a parade?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride him and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn affixes her reins to her rose-sheened charger&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni affixes her reins to a white unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride the unicorn and settles onto her bare back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;She and Athalia have been trying to convince me to be team Bee...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;The only team to bee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I have had to remind her that I&#039;m Kindred.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;That sounds un-bear-able.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Giantman to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Bears like honey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Punching his toe into a niche near a reticulated rhinoceros beetle&#039;s thorax, Perigourd swings his leg over the top and settles on the soft webbing that serves as a joint between the head and thorax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Not you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Delindra asks, &amp;quot;Did he just tell a pun in kindred?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa grins at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito glances at a white bear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You glance skeptically at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Edited so Delindra will never know&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows to Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh, worth noting. Delindra here is our newest member.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa balls her hand into a fist and pounds it against a knotwork bronze brooch worn at her shoulder.  Once, twice, and three times she strikes as a fierce look of determination settles about her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;My formor squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart smiles at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa bows to Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra bows to Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod approvingly at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poised atop her white horse, Ifanna carefully rests her fingers atop the upright pommel of the horse&#039;s lion-emblazoned saddle with, seemingly, a feather-light touch.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;She was an excellent squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I can hear in your voice the pride.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, she made me proud.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectedly says, &amp;quot;And a wonderful Mentor I had as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;Final call to join the cavalcade. We are gathering at the jouster in rumor woods. The competition will begin after the parade!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon leans forward and rests against a grey destrier&#039;s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectionately adds, &amp;quot;He did an exceptional job working wiht a Cholenite protege.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, you say, &amp;quot;We all face challenges.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Greetings all, the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and the Azure Sun welcome you to the Second Annual Cavalcade of Mounts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In a moment we will mount our steeds and parade across the lists to the Roar of the Stars to enjoy an evening of equestrian excellence in which we encourage you all to raise your standards, crests, and calls of fealty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn softly says, &amp;quot;Only one Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn rubs a rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We shall begin the parade on upon the hornblast and the entourage will cavort slowly to the bonfire&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee affixes her reins to her chestnut mare&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a bronze-fit walnut leather saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos affixes his reins to a black unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride the unicorn and settles into a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lifts his pale golden warhorn to his lips and gives a mighty blow, loosing a low resounding blast from the warhorn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr waves his leather reins through the air and a white horse arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Onward!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brother-in-arms Perigourd rides southeast on a mechanized rhinoceros beetle, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wear a sable standard displaying an argent tri-winged charge, securing it to show over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart waves his black banner around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Quickly raising the horn to your lips, you seal your mouth tightly around the mouthpiece and blow into it, trumpeting a piercing alarm which echoes through the surrounding area.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise your sable standard high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lets loose a loud whoop of delight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise yourself up in the nakaten, weight balanced entirely on your stirrups, and survey your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride her and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd pauses for a moment atop your golvern rhinoceros beetle, his profile perfect as he gazes around expectantly.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon raises his matte ebon maul high over his head, letting loose a battle cry as if preparing to deal a crushing blow!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen lightly brushes her fingers against the horse&#039;s healthy coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd waves his doe trippant standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jarnsaixa rolls her shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd gets a firm grip on the staff of his doe trippant standard and turns it in a wide, fluttering circle overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Arelder rolls back onto his seat bones in his wide saddle, squares his shoulders over his hips, and sits up straight atop his white stallion as he assumes a proper riding posture.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos gently rubs the neck of the black unicorn he is mounted upon, causing him to whinny softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna waves her Vornavian silk pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You lean forward over your nakaten&#039;s pommel ring and sweep your palm along your gold wastesdragon&#039;s neck.  His daubed, gold hide quivers at your touch, and he gives a sudden, jerky shake of his wedge-shaped head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd rides on a mechanized rhinoceros rhinoceros beetle up a winding track, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren waves her black and red standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni gently lays a hand on a mottled grey elk&#039;s neck, causing him to turn his eyes to meet her.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan rubs her sleek crystal sphere, and within moments a blue fire races across the crystalline surface of the statue within, flickering and burning with a pulsating radiance.  The surface of the statue ruffles with ghostly, spectral feathers as the glow rises up from within the glass, shining with the icy hues of frigid snow-capped mountains.  The silhouette of a fiery bird rises upwards from the sphere and takes shape, the twin blazing orbs of its eyes reflecting a miniature world of blizzards and raging storms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then the silhouette dims slightly, revealing the form of an ethereal deep blue phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd taps his doe trippant standard on the ground before him in a slow, rhythmic beat, drawing attention to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;arrive at the &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Riders may dismount!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd removes a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs from in his green leather cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde moves to stand behind Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd carefully sets a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn pats a dun charger firmly on his hindquarter.&lt;br /&gt;
A well-muscled dun charger whinnies and gallops off into the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder smiles at the owl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot; This year we are celebrating the 30th year of the founding of the Silver Gryphons and are honored to offer as prizes for our top three competitors one of a common, an uncommon, or a rare mount with first place being given first choice and so forth. Performances will be judged on aesthetics of the rider and mount, creativity, and the content of their performance. All performances should not exceed three minutes in length.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It&#039;s our privilege to have as our expert panel of judges Sir Guarrin Hjeldin, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, Sir Bristenn Mires, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Azure Sun, and Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr, Imperial Blade and Knight of the Turamzzyrian Empire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;At this time I would ask that all competitors whisper to me their official name and title as well as that of the trusted mount they will be performing with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;If the judges could gather around me so we can discuss the competitors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We also have some tokens of appreciation for attendees in the cornucopia for all to enjoy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Evening to you both.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You are leading Jarnsaixa and Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods understandingly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the contestants are getting situated, our first door prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos lays his hand on a regal black unicorn&#039;s flank, causing her to jump, slightly startled.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;Easy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon waves his grey leather reins through the air and a grey destrier arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
A black unicorn suddenly tenses, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looks at his surroundings.  Kothos slips his shoulder beneath his neck, his gaze following the path that he is looking at, and lightly touches his cheek in a reassuring gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito collects a white iron medallion from a large compartment inside the amaranth kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito removes a thick raw reindeer steak from in his black suede jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dipping into a lazy dive, the coppery barn owl glides to the ground and lands.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
A white bear snuffs Yukito&#039;s hand noisily, prying a thick raw reindeer steak from his fingers with surprisingly gentle jaws.  Any semblance of gentility ends there, though, as he devours the steak in a loud, wet series of chomps before having the mostly good graces to lick his chops clean afterward.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Gripping firmly with both hands, Giogionni moves his clenched fists together and then yanks them back, pulling a set of lustrous black leather reins taut with a loud &amp;quot;T H W A P&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;First up we have the gallant Giogionni Wyvernspur, upon their faithful mount Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;I hope so!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Giogionni Wyvernspur.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D&#039;ahranal.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall, straight, and well-postured.  He appears to blend confidence with a seasoned perspective.  He has starry, lost-in-thought emerald green eyes and flawlessly smooth, sun-touched skin.  He has chin length, wind-blown moonlight silver hair caught in a chaotic style of pale and dark-streaked strands.  He has a sculpted, refined face, a pair of silver-framed spectacles perched upon his nose and a sharply defined jawline.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a silver-traced emerald flame tattoo on his finger, a tattoo of winding dark tendrils and jagged lightning on his leg, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his right wrist, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his left wrist, an elaborate series of overlapping silver sigils tattoo on his right forearm, a silver knotwork tattoo on his right shoulder, a House Sovyn tattoo on his neck, and an inked spiral of tightly coiled silver tendrils on his temple.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a set of lustrous black leather reins in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a tailored jet black ataela longcoat with an upturned collar, an argent brocade waistcoat fastened with emerald-set silver buttons, an open-necked black silk shirt with silver cufflinks, a knotwork-etched wide silver armband, a knotwork-etched wide silver band, a slender black leather belt with a knotwork-etched silver buckle, a pair of pleated jet black ataela pants, and some polished black leather shoes with silver-tipped laces.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Giogionni, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Than you may proceed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn.&lt;br /&gt;
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven&#039;s wing.  His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing.  His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids.  A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a knitted wisp-patterned viridian pashmina blanket, a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle, a length of arabesque-embroidered silk, a quintet of kaleidoscopic glass rings and a curved silver filigree spiral adorning his horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni gives a heavy sigh as Nyx whinnies and shakes her mane.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde quietly asks, &amp;quot;Its exciting, isn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni stares blankly at Nyx, who looks away in the opposite direction, deciding instead to start walking backwards.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;Not backwards!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni shakes his head in disbelief as Nyx continues walking backwards, her tail swishing back and forth.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni assertively says, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s move on to the diagonal!  Di.  Ag.  On.  Al.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni watches in disbelief as Nyx, in perfect defiance, walks toward the judges&#039; panel.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;You are not here to flirt with the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni mischievously says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s my job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni unsuccessfully pulls on the reins as Nyx gives the judges a slight nod.  She then raises her hoof as if to wave!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exasperatedly asks, &amp;quot;How about galloping?  Ya think ya can manage to gallop properly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni waits impatiently as Nyx remains perfectly still, a mischievous glint in her eyes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;He&#039;s stealing YOUR act, stubborn one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;Fine.  Just....  do whatever ya want.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni looks hopeful as Nyx performs a perfect pirouette.  And then another.  And another.  His hope fades to a look of utter defeat as Nyx spins faster and faster.  She finally stops spinning and stand perfectly still, though her mane and tail are a twisted, tangled mess.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni folds his arms across his chest, watching Nyx expectantly.  &amp;quot;Are ya done?&amp;quot;  Upon hearing the word &amp;quot;done,&amp;quot; Nyx takes off in a full gallop toward the exit, a delighted whinny echoing through the arena as she disappears from sight.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Giogionni and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around him in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;Ladies and gentleman!  That was....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;That was....  Whatever that was.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;A moment while the judges discuss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Also, if any other individuals wish to perform, again just let me know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni nods knowingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart turns toward Kothos and renders a sharp salute with his honey drop biscuit.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges confer, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Perigourd, &amp;quot;Scoring completed, ready for the next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Next we have the incredibly tough Sister-at-arms Ifanna Aynesworth, Standard Bearer of the Order of the Azure Sun, upon the magnificent Goldberry of the Order&#039;s  well kept stables!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd asks, &amp;quot;Are you ready ma&#039;am?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her Vornavian silk pennon high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking brightly to Perigourd, Ifanna answers, &amp;quot;Aye!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna wears an argent Vornavian silk pennon emblazoned with a fiery azure sunburst, securing it to show over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna removes some white leather reins from in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;At your leisure then!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly declares, &amp;quot;Me name is Ifanna Aynesworth, Sister-at-armes an&#039; Standard Bearer ov th&#039; Order of the Azure Sun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna confidently announces, &amp;quot;T&#039;night I will be demonstratin&#039; Tilting at th&#039; Rings, once ageen on me steed ov th&#039; order th&#039; courser Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna rubs a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You see a lithe white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
She stands about 16 hands at the withers.  She has a lithe body with a healthy white coat.  She has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears.  She has a long mane that flows loosely over one shoulder, and a full black tail.  &lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an embossed soft suede harness, a golden lion-emblazoned saddle and some iron horseshoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her arm and motions with one of her steel-plate gauntlets towards the grounds. Out of the crowd, several assistants in grey livery trundle out, some dragging with them a number of wooden frames and others sandbags. Each  of the six frames is outfitted with a twine-tied iron ring dangling from its joist.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna cheerfully continues, &amp;quot;One&#039;ve th&#039; many hastlitudes ov knoights an&#039; men-t&#039;armes, Ring Tiltin&#039; is a trainin&#039; game &#039;longside ridin&#039; th&#039; quintain. One&#039;ve been playin&#039; fer th&#039; better ov me career!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly explains, &amp;quot;T&#039;night not only will I be ridin&#039; down one, but &#039;aff a dozen wit&#039; me lance &#039;ere in a loop-- in full &#039;arness, as tho&#039; I were ridin&#039; inty combat, and fer speed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna draws an iron lance from one of the straps underneath her leather saddle bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her iron lance high as the grey liveried assistants finish setting up the loop of frame-hung rings around the bonfire. They scamper back into the assembled crowd.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna moves to stand near her white horse&#039;s head, facing it, and takes hold of the pastern on her left leg, stretching the leg forward, then does the same for right side, ensuring no wrinkles are present under her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brushing her fingers down a lithe white horse&#039;s neck, Ifanna then moves back several steps to grip one of the stirrups hanging down from a lithe white horse and gives it good, hard tug, ensuring that it won&#039;t slip once weight is applied to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pulls down the visor of her visored steel armet.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd takes a moment to observe Ifanna.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna affixes her reins to her white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a golden lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna nudges her white horse slightly with her heels, urging her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna briskly shouts, &amp;quot;Hiah!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna spurs her horse into motion with a sudden thunder of hooves, all the while hoisting her iron lance in a vertical position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna continues her horse&#039;s short yet all out gallop towards the first of the rings, bringing down her iron lance into position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna&#039;s iron lance couched just at the last second, she scores a hit, tearing the ring from its twine as it rattles down the length of her iron lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a quick nudge with her silver spurs, urging her forward. In a flash, she approaches the second ring of the first loop, this one higher than the other, and cleanly skewers it!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna brings her horse to bear on the third and final ring of the loop&#039;s first half, and with the distinct noise of metal sliding against metal, she skewers this one as well! With a snap of the ring&#039;s twine, the frame wobbles back and forth under its sandbags while she slows and rounds the bend.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Yunni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Collecting a log from a nearby pile, a young aelotoi girl tosses it into a large blazing bonfire, causing flickering embers to rise into the star-strewn sky.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a firm nudge with her silver spurs, springing her into action again as she rounds the bend! Her lance couched, she takes aim at the fourth ring, this one lower than the last three.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna handily skewers the fourth ring with her iron lance as she passes by, snapping the twine and sending the frame tumbling to the ground from the force behind her!)&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna leans forward in her saddle, lance still couched and at the ready, as she passes by the fifth ring-- this one nearly a moment late, but snapped from its twine all the same and clattering down the length of her iron lance.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna nudges her horse once again with her silver spurs, suddenly leaning back as she adjusts her position for the sixth and final ring. With the clear, crisp note of metal against metal, the ring clatters straight down the length of the lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Ifanna and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna breathlessly lowers her lance as her horse thunders to a slow trot, whinnying and shaking her mane. Finally, she slows to a halt, turning her horse with the weight of her body and a brief tug of the reins.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her iron lance in triumph!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants, trying to catch her breath.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In a daring display of acrobatics, Ifanna tucks her legs up under herself, momentarily balancing her toes on her lion-emblazoned saddle, then leaps off of it, neatly landing next to her white horse in an overly dramatic dismount.  She reaches up and detaches some white leather reins from her horse&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
Sweeping her arm outward, Ifanna bows low in a grand fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra waves her battle standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna idly leans up against a lithe white horse, resting her head against the side of her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Quite a wonderful performance! we will await the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna plants a quick smooch on a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna beams happily!&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans on her lance.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking encouragingly to Ifanna, Everall says, &amp;quot;Well done indeed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While we await our illustrious judges, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready for the next competitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna put some white leather reins in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna walks over to the boulder and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And now we&#039;re happy to present the irrepressible Jastalyn Dragorth, riding her svelte rose-sheened charger named Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Today, we bring forth more than a display of strength and elegance&lt;br /&gt;
      we offer a living tribute to the divine grace of Oleani, goddess of love.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;As you gaze upon this noble steed and their devoted rider, see not just flesh and form, but a symbol of harmony between heart and spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Let your hearts open, as Oleani&#039;s light guides this bond between horse and rider, a dance of trust, elegance, and divine affection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Without futher ado, I give you the one and only, Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wrapping her hand around the vaalorn idol pinned to her chest, Jastalyn bows her head forward in prayer.  Ethereal rose light seeps through her fingers in a dazzling spiral along with the fading sound of a charger&#039;s whinny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Moving to a rose-sheened charger&#039;s side, Jastalyn pats her affectionately on her neck.  She nickers in response, the sound eerily similar to a humanoid chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a svelte body that exudes beauty and elegance.  Her coat is satiny and gleams with a rose-sheened hue that catches the light impeccably.  Perky ears stand attentively atop her delicate face, which is framed by a forelock that is gently draped over her forehead.  She has a long, flowing mane that spills softly down her neck, creating a stunning cascade that enhances her exquisite appearance.  Her soft cream, pert, voluminous tail adds to her overall allure, the perfect vision of majestic grace.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a simply woven garland of showy Elanthian snow roses and rose-dyed eyelet lace ribbones, a delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk capelet, a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star and some delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk leg wraps.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn reaches up and attaches her star-patterned reins to the charger&#039;s bridle, then drapes them over the upright pommel of charger&#039;s light beige saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
Lightly placing her right foot in the stirrup on the charger&#039;s saddle, Jastalyn pushes off of her left foot and transfers her weight into the right as she gracefully mounts her charger&#039;s light beige saddle.  She twists her body so that her left foot floats over her charger&#039;s girth and slides into the left-side stirrup.  As she positions herself atop her saddle, she takes her reins in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn&#039;s battle standard leaps to her hand as she pulls it off her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn raises her battle standard skyward!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she coaxes her charger into a galloping gait before the judges, waving her standard in wide, exaggerated arcs. The breeze from the standard ruffles a few stray strands of her gently curled hair.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn pats her charger gently on the neck before leading her back to the center of the judging area.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn settles a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen at her back and canted over one shoulder, where it holds fast despite a lack of bindings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn removes a pale white firework from in her hooded starsilk mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully sets a pale white firework on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully lights the fuse on a pale white firework, which immediately begins to issue forth a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn issues a command to her charger and the animal responds by high-stepping in place, each foot in turn, while spinning in a slow circle and flicking her tail in a sweeping arc from side to side.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns away into the body of the firework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The white firework issues a violent torrent of pale white sparks from its base and shoots off into the air.  A bright trail of pale white light rises into the nighttime sky above Rumor Woods, vanishing from sight a heartbeat later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleetingly, the black unicorn gazes at Kothos with what can only be described as a bemused yet knowing expression as he touches his a horn to his forehead.  Kothos instantly slips to the ground in a deep slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill whistle precedes a large *BOOM* as glittering points of bright light erupt in the nighttime sky.  A scintillating bright pony trots across a luminous green field before slowly winking out, bits of ash floating towards the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she gives her charger a gentle nudge with the heel of her boot. The charger rears up on its hind legs and whinnies.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Securing her right foot in the saddle&#039;s stirrup, Jastalyn twists her body back and to the left, gliding her left leg over the backside of her rose-sheened charger as she gracefully dismounts and detaches some star-patterned reins from her charger&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In the name of Oleani, may you carry forward the spirit of love in every step you take, in every word you speak, and in every kindness you offer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May compassion guide your path, and may you always find beauty in even the gentlest moments.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn gently taps the blush rose charm attached to her silver charm bracelet.  An array of platinum sparks ripples over its surface before settling into a tiny banner of light, the wavering image of a cresting Oleani symbol set into its rippling surface in hues of roseate.  It shimmers for a brief second before fading into a spray of dying platinum and roseate motes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn and her charger bow low in unison towards the judges.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Jastalyn and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges deliberate, this will be the last call for entrants!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;A good time for another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni places a mechanical electrum beetle on the palm of her hand and cranks some shifting urnon gears on its thorax.  The beetle begins gyrating in a circle, some glowing veniom appendages moving rapidly into a blur of motion.  It comes to a stop, buzzing a pair of glass-tiled wings at Kothos!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;We have concluded our discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And our final entrant for the evening, the magnificent Lady Brigit upon their true and faithful Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit gazes across the crowd from her perch.)&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit shifts her weight slightly backward and makes a small click with her tongue.  A pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit reaches down and gives a pristine white hart a playful pinch on his ear.  He goes stock still for a moment, then quick as a flash, he darts his head back and catches her ankle between his teeth, nipping lightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit hisses a warning between her teeth, and a pristine white hart tenses, lowering his head slightly and clenching his muscles, preparing to lunge.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit stops and listens to a buzzing bee.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit lowers her head slightly and places a hand atop a pristine white hart.  Brigit starts to make a low growling noise deep in her throat, and after a moment, he begins to growl along, his muscles bunching beneath her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The hart is wearing a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading, some twisted ebon silk ribbons trailing across his antlers, and a knitted honeycomb-patterned pale gold ruhani wool blanket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit laughs at Frost&#039;s imitation of a bear.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans far back, and a pristine white hart rears up beneath her as she grips tightly to his sides with her legs.  He paws at the air once, then twice, his head thrown back in an effort to maintain his balance, before allowing himself to fall back to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans forward and plants a light smooch between a pristine white hart&#039;s ears and he grunt softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans slightly to her right atop a pristine white hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit climbs down from a pristine white hart neck and carefully detaches a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading from him.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit removes a wild carrot from in her tapestry-weave backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
Sniffing curiously at the wild carrot in Brigit&#039;s palm, a pristine white hart opens his mouth around the offering and snatches it out of her hand, relishing the treat with slow bites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit grabs the hide on both sides of a pristine white hart&#039;s neck and gives him a friendly shake.  He opens his mouth and lets his tongue loll out slightly as he tosses his head in time with the motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;A very majestic beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit gently pushes down on a pristine white hart&#039;s forehead and makes a small click with her tongue.  Eyeing her carefully, a majestic pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Brigit and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We will await the judges final judging and overall scores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges tally their scores, a final door prize! Some quite lucky socks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;During this time I&#039;d invite everyone to keep their eyes and ears open as we continue to celebrate the Silver Gryphons thirtieeth year anniversary throughout the year with an event each month. We are very grateful for all those who have come to support us and to enjoy the evening with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And with that the judges have finished conferring and come to their decision.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;With such wonderful performances, we will also be awarding a 4th place prize this evening as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In 4th place, we have the wonderful Lady Brigit and her hart Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In third place we have Giogionni and his tumultous steed Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In second place...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We have the wonderful Jastalyn and her delightful charger Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And in first place we have the resilient and two time competitor Ifanna Aynesworth upon Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the play &amp;quot;Of Ash and Honor&amp;quot;, a play written by [[Delindra]] and performed at Cholen&#039;s Temple in Solhaven during the spring of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]].  It has been edited to focus on the performance and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Auditorium]&lt;br /&gt;
The Performance Hall is a grand chamber filled with rows of cushioned benches facing a stage at the far end.  The stage has generous proportions -- heavy indigo curtains flank it on either side.  A row of lanterns placed along its lip are hooded on the sides facing the audience, with all their illumination directed toward center-stage.  You also see the Sirona disk, a ruby-set copper crate, a white monir table burned with a keep-overlooked seaside cityscape with some stuff on it, a grand arched doorway and the proscenium steps.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Xorus, Dame Deavon who is sitting, Sister-in-arms Mourdeyan, Protector Kilthal who is sitting, Lady Erienne, Leifa, Master Fisher Aerocus who is sitting, Saesyra, Sir Tebon, Sirona who is sitting, Xanthalas who is sitting, Kasgar who is sitting, Magister Raelee, Kippe, Gardener Brigit, High Lord Everall, Dame Evia, Goldstr, Riend who is sitting, Ashendoth who is sitting, Lady Raindove who is sitting, Sir Balantine who is sitting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Common language, it reads:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                    The Order of the Silver Gryphons Presents:&lt;br /&gt;
                                 &amp;quot;Ash and Honor&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
                     A Historical Reenactment of Our Origins&lt;br /&gt;
                          Written by Delindra Talissen&lt;br /&gt;
                                 Performed by:&lt;br /&gt;
                       Kothos - Lieutentant Wellesborne&lt;br /&gt;
                       Jisandra - Lady Wanton&lt;br /&gt;
                       Missoni - Lady Cinabar&lt;br /&gt;
                       Peatwyn - Lord Welan&lt;br /&gt;
                       Guarrin - Sir Maldon&lt;br /&gt;
                       Cryheart - Sir Brinn&lt;br /&gt;
                       Delindra - Messenger&lt;br /&gt;
                       Perigourd - Baron Hochstib&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                       18 Ivastaen, 5125&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balantine recites quietly:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Welcome one and all, playbills are in the crate, and refreshments on the table&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The auditorium lights slowly dim as a hush fills the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Perigourd who is sitting&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sir Guarrin just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos folds his hands behind his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd sits behind a richly appointed desk of mahogany, shuffling papers with an air of nonchalance. He does not look up as Sir Maldon and Lieutenant Wellesborne enter, allowing them to wait for him in silence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin folds his hands behind his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd crisply asks, &amp;quot;Sir Maldon.&#039; He glances briefly at the older man, then the younger. &#039;Lieutenant Wellesborne. I trust your journey was without incident?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin stands before Baron Hochstib, posture rigid, eyes fixed straight ahead. He exudes an air of military efficiency, tempered with quiet command bred from years of experience in the field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd glances between Guarrin and Kothos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin formally says, &amp;quot;Aye, Baron Hochstib. The roads were clear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos casts a glance at Sir Maldon, then straightens his posture as if to mimic the older man. He speaks with eager, youthful vigor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos adds, &amp;quot;We made good time from Vornavis.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd stands up from the desk, turning his back to the two men as he gazes outward, surveying the lands of Jantalar through a wide window. He nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd decisively says, &amp;quot;Good. I have use for men of action.&#039; He pauses, turning to face the older knight. &#039;Sir Maldon, I am assigning you command of a Holding near Wehnimer&#039;s Landing. It holds strategic value for expanding Jantalar&#039;s influence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin interestedly asks, &amp;quot;A Holding, milord?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd turns to face Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd declares, &amp;quot;A foothold. The Landing wallows in independence. You will bring order and fly Jantalar s colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin nods once and issues a crisp salute, sharp gaze focused straight ahead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin states, &amp;quot;I will serve, milord.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd turns to Lieutenant Wellesborne, surveying him up and down before issuing his next order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos turns to face Perigourd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows to Perigourd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;And *you*, Lieutenant, are bound for Talador. There&#039;s unrest in the mines. Dwarven filth, elven agitators criminals. They forget who rules them. Remind them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos straightens further, issuing a salute that mirrors Sir Maldon&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos crisply says, &amp;quot;Yes, milord.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd declares, &amp;quot;I want order restored. These sympathizers are not citizens. They are *property*. Make them remember.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd&#039;s entire body tenses as he clenches his fist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin states, &amp;quot;As you command.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos states, &amp;quot;Long live Jantalar.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd sits back down at his desk, making a noncommittal gesture to dismiss both men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd just went through the stage left entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin moves across the stage as the light shifts, casting the Baron&#039;s study in darkness. The faint suggestion of a stone hallway appears as he and the Lieutenant walk together in silence for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos turns to face Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos stops suddenly, forcing Sir Maldon to come to a stop alongside him. He hesitates, then speaks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos stares at Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos haltingly says, &amp;quot;Sir Maldon... I must speak. The mines... the prisoners in there. I&#039;ve heard of the conditions. They are dying there, Sir. And I&#039;ve heard rumors. That it&#039;s not just criminals. It&#039;s... anyone who speaks out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin turns to face the Lieutenant, regarding him for a moment, then places his hand on Wellesborne&#039;s shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Xorus, &amp;quot;Well, then.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin states, &amp;quot;Remember our duty. We do not question our liege lord. The mines punish the disloyal and enrich the realm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos hesitantly asks, &amp;quot;But what if it&#039;s wrong?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos stares at Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin pauses a long moment, giving the question serious consideration. He speaks slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin heavily says, &amp;quot;Then we carry it   so others don&#039;t have to.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos slowly empties his lungs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos quietly says, &amp;quot;Yes, Sir Maldon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos folds his hands behind his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin gives the Lieutenant a respectful, approving nod. He continues through the hallway as Wellesborne lingers behind, watching the older man depart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos stares at the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sir Guarrin just went through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos softly says, &amp;quot;Yes... Father.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos just went through the stage left entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Kothos who is sitting&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos sits behind a battered field desk, the walls of a command tent strung up about him. From without, the sounds of fighting ring, though distantly. He holds a quill in hand, scrawling a letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra strides in, stopping short before Lieutenant Wellesborne and managing a ragged salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra hastily says, &amp;quot;My Lord, the mines. They cannot hold much longer. The prisoners are making a final push... your officers will soon be overrun.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos put a metallic onyx raven feather quill in his leather satchel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos glances at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos rises from his chair and folds the crisp parchment in his hand in one movement. He hands the letter to the messenger, then retrieves his sword belt from the stand beside his chair, pulling it on with practiced ease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos states, &amp;quot;You must take this letter to my father.&#039; He hesitates, then speaks with quiet reluctance. &#039;We shall do as the Baron commands. We shall hold the line.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra slowly empties her lungs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos offers Delindra a piece of plain white paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra nods slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra accepts Kothos&#039;s plain white paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra nods once and rushes out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra just went through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos strides out on the heels of the messenger, sword leaving its sheath in a hiss as he charges forth. The stage goes dark. The sounds of battle grow louder. All that can be heard is the clash of steel upon steel, voices crying out in victory and defeat as weapons find their homes in flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos grabs a lacquered toy modwir sword from inside his thick leather knapsack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos just went through the stage left entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra recites:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The sounds of battle fill the mines&lt;br /&gt;
     Betrayal, worst of the nobles&#039; crimes&lt;br /&gt;
     Through the chaos, shadow cloaked&lt;br /&gt;
     The mines are felled, the entry choked.&lt;br /&gt;
     In the rubble, a fallen son&lt;br /&gt;
     This one mistake: all faith undone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra just went through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos flicks a match as the flame lights his face and the area around him. Bodies are sprawled among the images of fallen rocks and beams, the space small and claustrophobic. Lieutenant Wellesborne surveys his surroundings, all hope gone from his expression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bitterly says, &amp;quot;The cost of obedience to a liege lord who has forgotten all Nobility.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows his head as the flame gutters out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos hangs his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Sir Guarrin&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin is settled around a campfire with his retinue, who are raising mugs of ale high as laughter permeates the air. The scene is interrupted by the sound of hoofbeats announcing the arrival of a messenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra just came through the stage right entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra dashes in, bedraggled and covered in dust. She immediately approaches Sir Maldon, oblivious to the other soldiers around him. She renders a hasty salute and extends the missive with her other hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra offers Guarrin a piece of plain white paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra breathlessly says, &amp;quot;Sir Maldon! Urgent dispatch from Talador.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin accepts Delindra&#039;s plain white paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin rises from his place by the fire as the laughter fades, replaced with silent dread. All look on, watching with trepidation. Sir Maldon unfolds the worn parchment, eyes roving over the page as his face remains passive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Kothos recites clearly:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Father:&lt;br /&gt;
     I have done my best to carry my duty with honor.  I wish for you to know that.  Still, I worry that I have not done enough.  That I have fallen short of the legacy you hoped I would uphold.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin clenches his fist as he continues reading, a look of dread crossing his features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Kothos recites concernedly:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;There are rumors.. whispers that the mines will be collapsed to end the uprising in one brutal stroke. I pray it is not true. I pray the Baron would not do such a thing. But even in doubt, I have tried to believe in his vision. In his nobility.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Kothos recites firmly:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We make one final push tonight. If we succeed, I hope to return to Jantalar... and see you again with honor intact.&lt;br /&gt;
     If we fail... I hope you will forgive me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin slowly lowers slowly lowers the letter, his face unreadable in the firelight. He turns to the Messenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin curtly asks, &amp;quot;The mines?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra hesitates, lowering her gaze. A hush falls over the camp like a veil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra quietly says, &amp;quot;The tunnels collapsed, Sir. I heard the crash as I left the camp. From the rumors that followed me here... They say... no one made it out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra pauses, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra haltingly says, &amp;quot;Your son. He... was inside when it happened.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin does not move as the fire crackles behind him and his soldiers look on, silent. Slowly, he folds the letter, then lifts his gaze, staring into the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin murmurs, &amp;quot;And so may end the line of Wellesborne.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin lowers his gaze again as the stage goes dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Jisandra, Sir Guarrin, Sir Cryheart, Lady Missoni, Peatwyn&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra stands among a group of townsfolk, the surroundings of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing depicted in sharp relief in the background. Opposite the group stands Sir Maldon and his retinue, the banners of Jantalar hanging limply at their backs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra flatly says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s close enough, knight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn calls, &amp;quot;Yes. Lady Wanton is right - keep your distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni fixes her gaze on Guarrin.  Her eyes narrow and she exhales a stifled-sounding *huff*.  Is she trying to glare at him?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni states, &amp;quot;You are not welcome here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart growls, &amp;quot;What makes you think you can come here?&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra moves forward to confront Sir Maldon directly, her hand on the hilt of her weapon, though she does not draw it yet. Her eyes are fierce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra growls, &amp;quot;We ve heard what your Baron s done in Talador. You won t bring his tyranny here - not while we still draw breath. This is our town. Lady Cinabar and I will not stand aside - neither will Lord Brinn or Lord Welan - and let you take it as you please.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni strides over to stand before Jisandra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni nods her agreement, stepping up beside Lady Wanton, her arms folded and jaw set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin stands still and silent, his gaze lowered. He takes a deep breath, then seems to come to a decision. He steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin quietly announces, &amp;quot;I did not come here for conquest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni glances skeptically at Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra narrows her eyes with suspicion, regarding Maldon with a scowl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin quietly continues, &amp;quot;I believed in my liege lord... in Baron Hochstib. I believed I served a vision of order and strength. But I was wrong.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin removes his gauntlet and lets it fall to the ground with a muted clink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin softly says, &amp;quot;My son died in Talador. Crushed beneath stone... in a trap laid for innocents and called justice.&#039; He pauses, then continues, the weight heavy in his voice. &#039;And I stood by. I called it duty.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni furrows her brow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra skeptically asks, &amp;quot;And yet you come here, clad in those colors, the banners of conquest behind you. Why should we trust you?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin regards Lady Wanton for a long, tense moment, then turns. He seizes one of the banners held by a member of his retinue, who makes only the smallest gesture of protest. He rips the banner from its stand and flings it to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin states, &amp;quot;I stand here, not as a commander of Jantalar - but as a man who seeks to atone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra raises an eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin firmly continues, &amp;quot;I seek to build something better. Not for conquest, but for brotherhood. If the Landing had its own knightly order, standing against cruelty, whose charge is to protect the people - an order dedicated to defending honor, not power... then perhaps we stand a chance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin lifts his gaze to address the townspeople at large.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin loudly demands, &amp;quot;Who among you would stand with me?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra tilts her head and gazes at Sir Maldon long enough for his words to echo into silence. Then, she steps forward, bringing her fist to her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni glances at Jisandra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra quietly says, &amp;quot;For my town and for the people here who cannot protect themselves... I will.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni firmly says, &amp;quot;For so long as your cause is just, I shall ally myself to your cause.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart quickly says, &amp;quot;And so shall I...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn eagerly says, &amp;quot;And I.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn nods grimly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin regards the line forming before him and nods with satisfaction. Behind, the glow of the village shifts from stark and grey to warm amber. As the stage fades to black, an emblem is revealed unfurled above the proscenium, the image of a gryphon depicted in silver overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Jisandra who is sitting, Sir Guarrin who is sitting, Sir Cryheart who is sitting, Lady Missoni who is sitting, Peatwyn who is sitting&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn sits with his feet propped up on a table that was once grand and ornate, but has succumbed to the ravages of time. Around him are walls of time-worn stone and crumbling finery, the vestiges of a keep that has fallen to ruin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn laughingly says, &amp;quot;...so I was watching this fellow square off with an ogre twice his size. I was going to help, but then he trips and his sword goes flying *backward* into a tree. I thought for sure that was it, but then the ogre *slips*--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni laughs at Peatwyn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni disbelievingly gasps, &amp;quot;It did not!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn swears, &amp;quot;My hand to Koar, it did!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn laughingly continues, &amp;quot;The thing&#039;s club flew up in the air, came down on its own head, knocking it out cold! This poor fellow gets up, spots me watching and just kind of dusts his hands off, yells out - no joke - yells out, &#039;Just as I planned!&#039; and strolls off without another word!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni shakes her head, totally at a loss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra skeptically laughs, &amp;quot;Not a word? Did he even get his sword back?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn starts chortling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn amusedly says, &amp;quot;He tried, but it was well and truly stuck. I managed to free it, hopefully I&#039;ll run into him again sometime so I can get it back to him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra shakes her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart chides, &amp;quot;You must be joking. There&#039;s no way...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn rebukes, &amp;quot;Would I lie to you?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The corners of Peatwyn&#039;s sea green eyes wrinkle as he grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart raises an eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin firmly says, &amp;quot;That is enough, for now. We are not here to re-live old battles, but to prepare for new ones.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra cocks her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni tilts her head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin continues, &amp;quot;We are here because we are united in a common purpose, and because these fortifications offer us what we need - a place to rally, and a place to build upon the mission we all share.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni gruffly asks, &amp;quot;And we do all share that mission, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni looks pointedly at Sir Maldon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin meets Lady Cinabar&#039;s gaze without malice, and inclines his head in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni glances appraisingly at Guarrin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra narrows her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin quietly says, &amp;quot;I know I have done little, yet, to earn your trust, but I hope for this to be a beginning. For us, and for protecting the Landing&#039;s freedom.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra rises, pacing the room for a moment as if restless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni gazes with interest at Jisandra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra firmly says, &amp;quot;We shall see. For now, it appears we need your help, regardless.&#039; She pauses, hesitating before admitting, &#039;I do not think anyone else here has helped to form a knightly order before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart nods his agreement, frowning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart admits, &amp;quot;Before hearing about it from you, I was under the impression chivalry was what someone did if they spent too long in Icemule without a cloak.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra stares at Cryheart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni groans at Cryheart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin grumbles to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart winks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra gazes heavenward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn interjects, &amp;quot;But Wanton and Brinn have a point. We are not alone in our purpose. Many people protect the Landing. We owe our lives to a lot of them. But that won&#039;t be enough for Baron Hochstib and his ilk.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni nods firmly at Peatwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni affirms, &amp;quot;And that&#039;s why he&#039;s here.&amp;quot; She gestures to Sir Maldon, her gaze not softening. &amp;quot;And not skewered. If we&#039;re to make Jantalar see us as a force to be reckoned with, he has the best chance of showing us how.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin calmly says, &amp;quot;Jantalar - Baron Hochstib - he looks down on people he deems to be common. He recognizes strength in nobility. And the virtues of following such a path are a source of great strength, when wielded by the right hands. Hands that are not corrupted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin looks away for a moment, his features twisted into a bitter scowl before he composes himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra firmly says, &amp;quot;We need something to rally around. A banner. A symbol.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart raises an eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart suggests, &amp;quot;... an oath?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni gazes with interest at Cryheart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn nods thoughtfully as the torchlight flickers. The group lapses into a thoughtful silence as the curtains slowly lower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra cocks her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Perigourd&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd stands before his polished mahogany desk, a missive held in his hand that he reads via torchlight. Military maps are strewn out before him, dotted with carved markers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd glowers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd grimly says, &amp;quot;So... Sir Maldon&#039;s sense of honor has been skewed. Corruption spreads quickly in the Landing, so I&#039;ve heard.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd paces to a pedestal, hand resting lightly on a glowing shard that sits atop it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd picks idly at a Mandis Crystal shard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd growls, &amp;quot;Defiance will not bring you freedom. You shall only receive what the Mandis crystal shall bestow... ruination.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd drops his hand from the pedestal and steps back. The Mandis crystal pulses as all else goes dark, a beating heart stilled only as the &lt;br /&gt;
curtain falls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly opens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glancing up on stage you see...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;
The stage lighting -- created by evenly spaced oil lamps hung over the proscenium -- illuminates the wide-planked stage.  A new coat of polish is unable to hide the scuffs and marks left by decades of actors.  You also see the stage left entrance, the stage right entrance, the proscenium steps and the stage curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Jisandra, Sir Guarrin, Sir Cryheart, Peatwyn, Lady Missoni&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious exits: none&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra stands shoulder to shoulder with Lady Cinabar, Lord Brinn, Lord Welan, and Sir Maldon, all lit against an otherwise bare stage. The banner of a silver gryphon emblazoned on an ebony background, encircled with a ruby border, hangs overhead. Lady Wanton steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra clearly says, &amp;quot;In the years that followed, Baron Hochstib did not forget our defiance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni moves forward to stand alongside Lady Wanton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni raises her chin slightly in a show of defiance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni states, &amp;quot;He tried to grow his empire far beyond the borders of Jantalar. By threat, by trickery, and by blood.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn steps up next to Lady Cinabar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn declares, &amp;quot;He wielded the Mandis crystals, gifts from Empress Myanal&#039;lyanna herself, trying to suppress the magic that helped to protect the Landing from his invading forces. He tried to silence those who would resist.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart strides forward to stand beside Lord Welan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart narrates, &amp;quot;He ordered the assassination of Baron Malwind of Vornavis, attempting to remove one of the last noble voices that stood against him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin aligns himself with Lord Brinn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin says, &amp;quot;He sought to occupy the Landing, and Icemule trace, trying to add them to his holdings. But he did not move unchecked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra says, &amp;quot;At every turn, the citizens of the Landing stood in his way, and the Order of the Silver Gryphon opposed his every move. And from that, our oath, and our purpose, was born.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;To protect those who cannot protect themselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn recites:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;To aid those who are in need, if their cause is just.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart recites:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;To serve with honor, by example and deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin bows his head, and the others follow suit. As the lights fade, only the banner of the Silver Gryphon remains illuminated, until finally the stage goes dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni hangs her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peatwyn hangs his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain slowly closes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Cholen&#039;s Temple, Stage]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== The Shadowy Abyss ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Randomly, adventurers appear to be overcome by either visions or they spontaneously recite lines of poetry.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 06.03.2025 - Thus far, there doesn&#039;t seem to be a theory or connection on who sees the visions or recites the poems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rhymes ===&lt;br /&gt;
Individuals who recite the poems seem to see a vision of a scroll or document announcing the title of the poem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hollybear&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;One of us still walks the tide,&lt;br /&gt;
     Though flesh is gone and tears have dried.&lt;br /&gt;
     Her comb was taken from the sea,&lt;br /&gt;
     Now she dreams of being free.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aesom&#039;s expression grows distant as he murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Who dares disturb the salt-kissed dead,&lt;br /&gt;
     Who sleep where no sun has ever tread?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The captain lies in a watery keep,&lt;br /&gt;
     Still gripping the comb that binds her to sleep.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Her sisters sing from reef and foam,&lt;br /&gt;
     We beg you, send her comb back home.&lt;br /&gt;
     Or watch the mist crawl up the quay,&lt;br /&gt;
     And feel her sorrow fill the sea.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anferis&#039;s expression grows distant as he murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;She once swam proud through Charl&#039;s wide blue,&lt;br /&gt;
     Now chained to planks, her song struck through.&lt;br /&gt;
     The price of love turned cold and cruel,&lt;br /&gt;
     The comb now keeps her bound by rule.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Eyes in the sky and mist turned green,&lt;br /&gt;
     He sees all who touch what should not be seen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jisandra&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The sea will not rest, nor the storm be still,&lt;br /&gt;
     &#039;Til her comb is returned to the deep against will.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aleko&#039;s expression grows distant as he murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;He held her with a sailor&#039;s knot,&lt;br /&gt;
     Now ghosts drift where they once fought.&lt;br /&gt;
     The shell that once her fingers knew,&lt;br /&gt;
     Is cursed for all who keep it too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Your own voice fills your ears as you recite:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;She once swam proud through Charl&#039;s wide blue,&lt;br /&gt;
     Now chained to planks, her song struck through.&lt;br /&gt;
     The price of love turned cold and cruel,&lt;br /&gt;
     The comb now keeps her bound by rule.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Riend&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Bring back the gift or drown in regret,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the pearl&#039;s price is not paid yet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Your own voice fills your ears as you recite:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Eyes in the sky and mist turned green,&lt;br /&gt;
     He sees all who touch what should not be seen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your own voice fills your ears as you recite:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Bound by love, betrayed by keep,&lt;br /&gt;
     A pearl was lashed where anchors sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
     Her voice was stolen, her soul confined,&lt;br /&gt;
     Return what&#039;s hers, or be entwined.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Your own voice fills your ears as you recite:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;She sang once sweetly, now silence remains,&lt;br /&gt;
     Her voice held fast by salt-forged chains.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni&#039;s expression grows distant as she murmurs a quiet verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;She dreams in coral and broken shells,&lt;br /&gt;
     And wakes when a greedy hand dwells.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Visions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some adventurers report slipping into a trance and seeing something obscure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the Cavalcade of Mounts at Rumor Woods during the sprint of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]].  It has been edited to focus on the performance and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;In an hour, join the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and Azure Sun at Rumor Woods for the cavalcade of Mounts! Join the parade and then the competition for a raffle and prizes, including mounts ranging from common to rare!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You reach inside one of the containers hanging from the steel and hide harness and grab the sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at wastes&lt;br /&gt;
You see a colossal gold wastesdragon, whom you have named &amp;quot;Gulveig.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His wedge-shaped head is masked in black, with tiny pupilless burnished gold eyes peering out from beneath low ridges.  Breaking up the darkness, a daubed pattern of gold scales begins just past his brow and extends all the way to the tip of his tail.  With a thick-scaled hide eye-catching in both contrast and depth of color, his form is stout, his body and tail thick, and his neck and legs short.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a twisted black rope harness, a copper-traced pectoral of overlapping faenor leaves, a soft knitted hunter green and cobalt blue tartan blanket and a selshis skin nakaten with gold cantle spikes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently riding a colossal gold wastesdragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Rumor Woods, Junction]&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple game trails converge on this section of track, their winding tracks sending them deeper into the western and northern confines of the flame-topped aspen grove.  Westerly pathways flank the edges of an enormous jousting field surrounded by high viewing stands topped with colorful pennants.  The ringing sound of anvil strikes echoes from the northeast and is punctuated by the soft sound of neighing from the southeast.  A large wooden sign post laden with signs offers information on the area.  You also see the Roelaren disk, a dark oak and steel wagon, a dwarven blacksmith assistant, a freshly cut stump with a Rumor Woods map on it and an old has-been jouster.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Brother-in-arms Perigourd, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren who is sitting, Four Winds Resident Brimzstone&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest, west, northwest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Riend, Arelder says, &amp;quot;I have been practicing, but as I told Sister Ifanna earlier, I am a bit uncertain I could compete against such talent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder nods to you in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen turns toward you and renders you a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Bristenn muffles something encouraging within the depths of his steel heaume.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder leans forward in his wide saddle, and, using the stirrups as leverage to lift himself farther up, he gives his white stallion a little rub between his ears.  Once he sits back down, he ensures his feet are properly angled in the stirrups, then relaxes his legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Jarnsaixa and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Odelgarde and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Knight Bachelorette.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She is tall and has lean, well-muscled form.  She appears to be mature.  She has round, slightly hooded and green-tinted hazel eyes and bronze skin.  She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull with each sporadically banded in gold-wired coils.  She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.  An angry, ragged scar trails down her left arm starting at her shoulder and ending at her wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a pair of fleece-lined kidskin gloves, a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a rugged grizzly bear pelt throat-clasped in a pennanular brooch, a pair of golvern spurs, and a cross-body swan tartan plaid over a suit of gold-edged full plate of damascened krodera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Oxhammer&#039;s command, a coal black sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his wedge-shaped head.  Oxhammer pulls his double rope harness over the sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s snout and hoists himself up onto the beast&#039;s back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  He tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;We would be honored to have you in parade with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods.&lt;br /&gt;
S &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn wryly adds, &amp;quot;What&#039;s a tourney without a parade?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride him and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn affixes her reins to her rose-sheened charger&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni affixes her reins to a white unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride the unicorn and settles onto her bare back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;She and Athalia have been trying to convince me to be team Bee...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;The only team to bee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I have had to remind her that I&#039;m Kindred.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;That sounds un-bear-able.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Giantman to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Bears like honey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Punching his toe into a niche near a reticulated rhinoceros beetle&#039;s thorax, Perigourd swings his leg over the top and settles on the soft webbing that serves as a joint between the head and thorax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Not you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Delindra asks, &amp;quot;Did he just tell a pun in kindred?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa grins at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito glances at a white bear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You glance skeptically at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Edited so Delindra will never know&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows to Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh, worth noting. Delindra here is our newest member.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa balls her hand into a fist and pounds it against a knotwork bronze brooch worn at her shoulder.  Once, twice, and three times she strikes as a fierce look of determination settles about her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;My formor squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart smiles at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa bows to Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra bows to Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod approvingly at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poised atop her white horse, Ifanna carefully rests her fingers atop the upright pommel of the horse&#039;s lion-emblazoned saddle with, seemingly, a feather-light touch.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;She was an excellent squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I can hear in your voice the pride.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, she made me proud.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectedly says, &amp;quot;And a wonderful Mentor I had as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;Final call to join the cavalcade. We are gathering at the jouster in rumor woods. The competition will begin after the parade!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon leans forward and rests against a grey destrier&#039;s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectionately adds, &amp;quot;He did an exceptional job working wiht a Cholenite protege.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, you say, &amp;quot;We all face challenges.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Greetings all, the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and the Azure Sun welcome you to the Second Annual Cavalcade of Mounts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In a moment we will mount our steeds and parade across the lists to the Roar of the Stars to enjoy an evening of equestrian excellence in which we encourage you all to raise your standards, crests, and calls of fealty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn softly says, &amp;quot;Only one Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn rubs a rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We shall begin the parade on upon the hornblast and the entourage will cavort slowly to the bonfire&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee affixes her reins to her chestnut mare&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a bronze-fit walnut leather saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos affixes his reins to a black unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride the unicorn and settles into a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lifts his pale golden warhorn to his lips and gives a mighty blow, loosing a low resounding blast from the warhorn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr waves his leather reins through the air and a white horse arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Onward!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brother-in-arms Perigourd rides southeast on a mechanized rhinoceros beetle, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wear a sable standard displaying an argent tri-winged charge, securing it to show over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart waves his black banner around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Quickly raising the horn to your lips, you seal your mouth tightly around the mouthpiece and blow into it, trumpeting a piercing alarm which echoes through the surrounding area.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise your sable standard high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lets loose a loud whoop of delight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise yourself up in the nakaten, weight balanced entirely on your stirrups, and survey your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride her and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd pauses for a moment atop your golvern rhinoceros beetle, his profile perfect as he gazes around expectantly.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon raises his matte ebon maul high over his head, letting loose a battle cry as if preparing to deal a crushing blow!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen lightly brushes her fingers against the horse&#039;s healthy coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd waves his doe trippant standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jarnsaixa rolls her shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd gets a firm grip on the staff of his doe trippant standard and turns it in a wide, fluttering circle overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Arelder rolls back onto his seat bones in his wide saddle, squares his shoulders over his hips, and sits up straight atop his white stallion as he assumes a proper riding posture.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos gently rubs the neck of the black unicorn he is mounted upon, causing him to whinny softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna waves her Vornavian silk pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You lean forward over your nakaten&#039;s pommel ring and sweep your palm along your gold wastesdragon&#039;s neck.  His daubed, gold hide quivers at your touch, and he gives a sudden, jerky shake of his wedge-shaped head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd rides on a mechanized rhinoceros rhinoceros beetle up a winding track, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren waves her black and red standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni gently lays a hand on a mottled grey elk&#039;s neck, causing him to turn his eyes to meet her.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan rubs her sleek crystal sphere, and within moments a blue fire races across the crystalline surface of the statue within, flickering and burning with a pulsating radiance.  The surface of the statue ruffles with ghostly, spectral feathers as the glow rises up from within the glass, shining with the icy hues of frigid snow-capped mountains.  The silhouette of a fiery bird rises upwards from the sphere and takes shape, the twin blazing orbs of its eyes reflecting a miniature world of blizzards and raging storms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then the silhouette dims slightly, revealing the form of an ethereal deep blue phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd taps his doe trippant standard on the ground before him in a slow, rhythmic beat, drawing attention to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;arrive at the &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Riders may dismount!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd removes a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs from in his green leather cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde moves to stand behind Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd carefully sets a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn pats a dun charger firmly on his hindquarter.&lt;br /&gt;
A well-muscled dun charger whinnies and gallops off into the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder smiles at the owl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot; This year we are celebrating the 30th year of the founding of the Silver Gryphons and are honored to offer as prizes for our top three competitors one of a common, an uncommon, or a rare mount with first place being given first choice and so forth. Performances will be judged on aesthetics of the rider and mount, creativity, and the content of their performance. All performances should not exceed three minutes in length.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It&#039;s our privilege to have as our expert panel of judges Sir Guarrin Hjeldin, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, Sir Bristenn Mires, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Azure Sun, and Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr, Imperial Blade and Knight of the Turamzzyrian Empire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;At this time I would ask that all competitors whisper to me their official name and title as well as that of the trusted mount they will be performing with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;If the judges could gather around me so we can discuss the competitors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We also have some tokens of appreciation for attendees in the cornucopia for all to enjoy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Evening to you both.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You are leading Jarnsaixa and Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods understandingly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the contestants are getting situated, our first door prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos lays his hand on a regal black unicorn&#039;s flank, causing her to jump, slightly startled.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;Easy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon waves his grey leather reins through the air and a grey destrier arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
A black unicorn suddenly tenses, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looks at his surroundings.  Kothos slips his shoulder beneath his neck, his gaze following the path that he is looking at, and lightly touches his cheek in a reassuring gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito collects a white iron medallion from a large compartment inside the amaranth kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito removes a thick raw reindeer steak from in his black suede jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dipping into a lazy dive, the coppery barn owl glides to the ground and lands.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
A white bear snuffs Yukito&#039;s hand noisily, prying a thick raw reindeer steak from his fingers with surprisingly gentle jaws.  Any semblance of gentility ends there, though, as he devours the steak in a loud, wet series of chomps before having the mostly good graces to lick his chops clean afterward.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Gripping firmly with both hands, Giogionni moves his clenched fists together and then yanks them back, pulling a set of lustrous black leather reins taut with a loud &amp;quot;T H W A P&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;First up we have the gallant Giogionni Wyvernspur, upon their faithful mount Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;I hope so!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Giogionni Wyvernspur.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D&#039;ahranal.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall, straight, and well-postured.  He appears to blend confidence with a seasoned perspective.  He has starry, lost-in-thought emerald green eyes and flawlessly smooth, sun-touched skin.  He has chin length, wind-blown moonlight silver hair caught in a chaotic style of pale and dark-streaked strands.  He has a sculpted, refined face, a pair of silver-framed spectacles perched upon his nose and a sharply defined jawline.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a silver-traced emerald flame tattoo on his finger, a tattoo of winding dark tendrils and jagged lightning on his leg, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his right wrist, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his left wrist, an elaborate series of overlapping silver sigils tattoo on his right forearm, a silver knotwork tattoo on his right shoulder, a House Sovyn tattoo on his neck, and an inked spiral of tightly coiled silver tendrils on his temple.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a set of lustrous black leather reins in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a tailored jet black ataela longcoat with an upturned collar, an argent brocade waistcoat fastened with emerald-set silver buttons, an open-necked black silk shirt with silver cufflinks, a knotwork-etched wide silver armband, a knotwork-etched wide silver band, a slender black leather belt with a knotwork-etched silver buckle, a pair of pleated jet black ataela pants, and some polished black leather shoes with silver-tipped laces.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Giogionni, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Than you may proceed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn.&lt;br /&gt;
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven&#039;s wing.  His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing.  His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids.  A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a knitted wisp-patterned viridian pashmina blanket, a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle, a length of arabesque-embroidered silk, a quintet of kaleidoscopic glass rings and a curved silver filigree spiral adorning his horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni gives a heavy sigh as Nyx whinnies and shakes her mane.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde quietly asks, &amp;quot;Its exciting, isn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni stares blankly at Nyx, who looks away in the opposite direction, deciding instead to start walking backwards.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;Not backwards!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni shakes his head in disbelief as Nyx continues walking backwards, her tail swishing back and forth.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni assertively says, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s move on to the diagonal!  Di.  Ag.  On.  Al.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni watches in disbelief as Nyx, in perfect defiance, walks toward the judges&#039; panel.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;You are not here to flirt with the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni mischievously says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s my job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni unsuccessfully pulls on the reins as Nyx gives the judges a slight nod.  She then raises her hoof as if to wave!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exasperatedly asks, &amp;quot;How about galloping?  Ya think ya can manage to gallop properly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni waits impatiently as Nyx remains perfectly still, a mischievous glint in her eyes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;He&#039;s stealing YOUR act, stubborn one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;Fine.  Just....  do whatever ya want.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni looks hopeful as Nyx performs a perfect pirouette.  And then another.  And another.  His hope fades to a look of utter defeat as Nyx spins faster and faster.  She finally stops spinning and stand perfectly still, though her mane and tail are a twisted, tangled mess.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni folds his arms across his chest, watching Nyx expectantly.  &amp;quot;Are ya done?&amp;quot;  Upon hearing the word &amp;quot;done,&amp;quot; Nyx takes off in a full gallop toward the exit, a delighted whinny echoing through the arena as she disappears from sight.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Giogionni and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around him in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;Ladies and gentleman!  That was....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;That was....  Whatever that was.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;A moment while the judges discuss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Also, if any other individuals wish to perform, again just let me know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni nods knowingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart turns toward Kothos and renders a sharp salute with his honey drop biscuit.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges confer, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Perigourd, &amp;quot;Scoring completed, ready for the next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Next we have the incredibly tough Sister-at-arms Ifanna Aynesworth, Standard Bearer of the Order of the Azure Sun, upon the magnificent Goldberry of the Order&#039;s  well kept stables!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd asks, &amp;quot;Are you ready ma&#039;am?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her Vornavian silk pennon high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking brightly to Perigourd, Ifanna answers, &amp;quot;Aye!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna wears an argent Vornavian silk pennon emblazoned with a fiery azure sunburst, securing it to show over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna removes some white leather reins from in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;At your leisure then!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly declares, &amp;quot;Me name is Ifanna Aynesworth, Sister-at-armes an&#039; Standard Bearer ov th&#039; Order of the Azure Sun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna confidently announces, &amp;quot;T&#039;night I will be demonstratin&#039; Tilting at th&#039; Rings, once ageen on me steed ov th&#039; order th&#039; courser Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna rubs a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You see a lithe white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
She stands about 16 hands at the withers.  She has a lithe body with a healthy white coat.  She has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears.  She has a long mane that flows loosely over one shoulder, and a full black tail.  &lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an embossed soft suede harness, a golden lion-emblazoned saddle and some iron horseshoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her arm and motions with one of her steel-plate gauntlets towards the grounds. Out of the crowd, several assistants in grey livery trundle out, some dragging with them a number of wooden frames and others sandbags. Each  of the six frames is outfitted with a twine-tied iron ring dangling from its joist.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna cheerfully continues, &amp;quot;One&#039;ve th&#039; many hastlitudes ov knoights an&#039; men-t&#039;armes, Ring Tiltin&#039; is a trainin&#039; game &#039;longside ridin&#039; th&#039; quintain. One&#039;ve been playin&#039; fer th&#039; better ov me career!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly explains, &amp;quot;T&#039;night not only will I be ridin&#039; down one, but &#039;aff a dozen wit&#039; me lance &#039;ere in a loop-- in full &#039;arness, as tho&#039; I were ridin&#039; inty combat, and fer speed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna draws an iron lance from one of the straps underneath her leather saddle bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her iron lance high as the grey liveried assistants finish setting up the loop of frame-hung rings around the bonfire. They scamper back into the assembled crowd.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna moves to stand near her white horse&#039;s head, facing it, and takes hold of the pastern on her left leg, stretching the leg forward, then does the same for right side, ensuring no wrinkles are present under her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brushing her fingers down a lithe white horse&#039;s neck, Ifanna then moves back several steps to grip one of the stirrups hanging down from a lithe white horse and gives it good, hard tug, ensuring that it won&#039;t slip once weight is applied to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pulls down the visor of her visored steel armet.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd takes a moment to observe Ifanna.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna affixes her reins to her white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a golden lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna nudges her white horse slightly with her heels, urging her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna briskly shouts, &amp;quot;Hiah!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna spurs her horse into motion with a sudden thunder of hooves, all the while hoisting her iron lance in a vertical position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna continues her horse&#039;s short yet all out gallop towards the first of the rings, bringing down her iron lance into position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna&#039;s iron lance couched just at the last second, she scores a hit, tearing the ring from its twine as it rattles down the length of her iron lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a quick nudge with her silver spurs, urging her forward. In a flash, she approaches the second ring of the first loop, this one higher than the other, and cleanly skewers it!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna brings her horse to bear on the third and final ring of the loop&#039;s first half, and with the distinct noise of metal sliding against metal, she skewers this one as well! With a snap of the ring&#039;s twine, the frame wobbles back and forth under its sandbags while she slows and rounds the bend.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Yunni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Collecting a log from a nearby pile, a young aelotoi girl tosses it into a large blazing bonfire, causing flickering embers to rise into the star-strewn sky.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a firm nudge with her silver spurs, springing her into action again as she rounds the bend! Her lance couched, she takes aim at the fourth ring, this one lower than the last three.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna handily skewers the fourth ring with her iron lance as she passes by, snapping the twine and sending the frame tumbling to the ground from the force behind her!)&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna leans forward in her saddle, lance still couched and at the ready, as she passes by the fifth ring-- this one nearly a moment late, but snapped from its twine all the same and clattering down the length of her iron lance.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna nudges her horse once again with her silver spurs, suddenly leaning back as she adjusts her position for the sixth and final ring. With the clear, crisp note of metal against metal, the ring clatters straight down the length of the lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Ifanna and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna breathlessly lowers her lance as her horse thunders to a slow trot, whinnying and shaking her mane. Finally, she slows to a halt, turning her horse with the weight of her body and a brief tug of the reins.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her iron lance in triumph!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants, trying to catch her breath.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In a daring display of acrobatics, Ifanna tucks her legs up under herself, momentarily balancing her toes on her lion-emblazoned saddle, then leaps off of it, neatly landing next to her white horse in an overly dramatic dismount.  She reaches up and detaches some white leather reins from her horse&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
Sweeping her arm outward, Ifanna bows low in a grand fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra waves her battle standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna idly leans up against a lithe white horse, resting her head against the side of her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Quite a wonderful performance! we will await the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna plants a quick smooch on a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna beams happily!&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans on her lance.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking encouragingly to Ifanna, Everall says, &amp;quot;Well done indeed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While we await our illustrious judges, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready for the next competitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna put some white leather reins in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna walks over to the boulder and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And now we&#039;re happy to present the irrepressible Jastalyn Dragorth, riding her svelte rose-sheened charger named Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Today, we bring forth more than a display of strength and elegance&lt;br /&gt;
      we offer a living tribute to the divine grace of Oleani, goddess of love.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;As you gaze upon this noble steed and their devoted rider, see not just flesh and form, but a symbol of harmony between heart and spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Let your hearts open, as Oleani&#039;s light guides this bond between horse and rider, a dance of trust, elegance, and divine affection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Without futher ado, I give you the one and only, Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wrapping her hand around the vaalorn idol pinned to her chest, Jastalyn bows her head forward in prayer.  Ethereal rose light seeps through her fingers in a dazzling spiral along with the fading sound of a charger&#039;s whinny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Moving to a rose-sheened charger&#039;s side, Jastalyn pats her affectionately on her neck.  She nickers in response, the sound eerily similar to a humanoid chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a svelte body that exudes beauty and elegance.  Her coat is satiny and gleams with a rose-sheened hue that catches the light impeccably.  Perky ears stand attentively atop her delicate face, which is framed by a forelock that is gently draped over her forehead.  She has a long, flowing mane that spills softly down her neck, creating a stunning cascade that enhances her exquisite appearance.  Her soft cream, pert, voluminous tail adds to her overall allure, the perfect vision of majestic grace.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a simply woven garland of showy Elanthian snow roses and rose-dyed eyelet lace ribbones, a delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk capelet, a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star and some delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk leg wraps.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn reaches up and attaches her star-patterned reins to the charger&#039;s bridle, then drapes them over the upright pommel of charger&#039;s light beige saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
Lightly placing her right foot in the stirrup on the charger&#039;s saddle, Jastalyn pushes off of her left foot and transfers her weight into the right as she gracefully mounts her charger&#039;s light beige saddle.  She twists her body so that her left foot floats over her charger&#039;s girth and slides into the left-side stirrup.  As she positions herself atop her saddle, she takes her reins in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn&#039;s battle standard leaps to her hand as she pulls it off her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn raises her battle standard skyward!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she coaxes her charger into a galloping gait before the judges, waving her standard in wide, exaggerated arcs. The breeze from the standard ruffles a few stray strands of her gently curled hair.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn pats her charger gently on the neck before leading her back to the center of the judging area.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn settles a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen at her back and canted over one shoulder, where it holds fast despite a lack of bindings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn removes a pale white firework from in her hooded starsilk mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully sets a pale white firework on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully lights the fuse on a pale white firework, which immediately begins to issue forth a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn issues a command to her charger and the animal responds by high-stepping in place, each foot in turn, while spinning in a slow circle and flicking her tail in a sweeping arc from side to side.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns away into the body of the firework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The white firework issues a violent torrent of pale white sparks from its base and shoots off into the air.  A bright trail of pale white light rises into the nighttime sky above Rumor Woods, vanishing from sight a heartbeat later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleetingly, the black unicorn gazes at Kothos with what can only be described as a bemused yet knowing expression as he touches his a horn to his forehead.  Kothos instantly slips to the ground in a deep slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill whistle precedes a large *BOOM* as glittering points of bright light erupt in the nighttime sky.  A scintillating bright pony trots across a luminous green field before slowly winking out, bits of ash floating towards the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she gives her charger a gentle nudge with the heel of her boot. The charger rears up on its hind legs and whinnies.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Securing her right foot in the saddle&#039;s stirrup, Jastalyn twists her body back and to the left, gliding her left leg over the backside of her rose-sheened charger as she gracefully dismounts and detaches some star-patterned reins from her charger&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In the name of Oleani, may you carry forward the spirit of love in every step you take, in every word you speak, and in every kindness you offer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May compassion guide your path, and may you always find beauty in even the gentlest moments.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn gently taps the blush rose charm attached to her silver charm bracelet.  An array of platinum sparks ripples over its surface before settling into a tiny banner of light, the wavering image of a cresting Oleani symbol set into its rippling surface in hues of roseate.  It shimmers for a brief second before fading into a spray of dying platinum and roseate motes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn and her charger bow low in unison towards the judges.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Jastalyn and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges deliberate, this will be the last call for entrants!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;A good time for another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni places a mechanical electrum beetle on the palm of her hand and cranks some shifting urnon gears on its thorax.  The beetle begins gyrating in a circle, some glowing veniom appendages moving rapidly into a blur of motion.  It comes to a stop, buzzing a pair of glass-tiled wings at Kothos!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;We have concluded our discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And our final entrant for the evening, the magnificent Lady Brigit upon their true and faithful Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit gazes across the crowd from her perch.)&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit shifts her weight slightly backward and makes a small click with her tongue.  A pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit reaches down and gives a pristine white hart a playful pinch on his ear.  He goes stock still for a moment, then quick as a flash, he darts his head back and catches her ankle between his teeth, nipping lightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit hisses a warning between her teeth, and a pristine white hart tenses, lowering his head slightly and clenching his muscles, preparing to lunge.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit stops and listens to a buzzing bee.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit lowers her head slightly and places a hand atop a pristine white hart.  Brigit starts to make a low growling noise deep in her throat, and after a moment, he begins to growl along, his muscles bunching beneath her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The hart is wearing a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading, some twisted ebon silk ribbons trailing across his antlers, and a knitted honeycomb-patterned pale gold ruhani wool blanket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit laughs at Frost&#039;s imitation of a bear.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans far back, and a pristine white hart rears up beneath her as she grips tightly to his sides with her legs.  He paws at the air once, then twice, his head thrown back in an effort to maintain his balance, before allowing himself to fall back to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans forward and plants a light smooch between a pristine white hart&#039;s ears and he grunt softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans slightly to her right atop a pristine white hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit climbs down from a pristine white hart neck and carefully detaches a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading from him.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit removes a wild carrot from in her tapestry-weave backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
Sniffing curiously at the wild carrot in Brigit&#039;s palm, a pristine white hart opens his mouth around the offering and snatches it out of her hand, relishing the treat with slow bites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit grabs the hide on both sides of a pristine white hart&#039;s neck and gives him a friendly shake.  He opens his mouth and lets his tongue loll out slightly as he tosses his head in time with the motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;A very majestic beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit gently pushes down on a pristine white hart&#039;s forehead and makes a small click with her tongue.  Eyeing her carefully, a majestic pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Brigit and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We will await the judges final judging and overall scores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges tally their scores, a final door prize! Some quite lucky socks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;During this time I&#039;d invite everyone to keep their eyes and ears open as we continue to celebrate the Silver Gryphons thirtieeth year anniversary throughout the year with an event each month. We are very grateful for all those who have come to support us and to enjoy the evening with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And with that the judges have finished conferring and come to their decision.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;With such wonderful performances, we will also be awarding a 4th place prize this evening as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In 4th place, we have the wonderful Lady Brigit and her hart Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In third place we have Giogionni and his tumultous steed Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In second place...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We have the wonderful Jastalyn and her delightful charger Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And in first place we have the resilient and two time competitor Ifanna Aynesworth upon Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from the Cavalcade of Mounts at Rumor Woods during the sprint of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]].  It has been edited to focus on NPCs, spoken dialogue, and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;In an hour, join the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and Azure Sun at Rumor Woods for the cavalcade of Mounts! Join the parade and then the competition for a raffle and prizes, including mounts ranging from common to rare!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You reach inside one of the containers hanging from the steel and hide harness and grab the sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at wastes&lt;br /&gt;
You see a colossal gold wastesdragon, whom you have named &amp;quot;Gulveig.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His wedge-shaped head is masked in black, with tiny pupilless burnished gold eyes peering out from beneath low ridges.  Breaking up the darkness, a daubed pattern of gold scales begins just past his brow and extends all the way to the tip of his tail.  With a thick-scaled hide eye-catching in both contrast and depth of color, his form is stout, his body and tail thick, and his neck and legs short.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a twisted black rope harness, a copper-traced pectoral of overlapping faenor leaves, a soft knitted hunter green and cobalt blue tartan blanket and a selshis skin nakaten with gold cantle spikes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently riding a colossal gold wastesdragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Rumor Woods, Junction]&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple game trails converge on this section of track, their winding tracks sending them deeper into the western and northern confines of the flame-topped aspen grove.  Westerly pathways flank the edges of an enormous jousting field surrounded by high viewing stands topped with colorful pennants.  The ringing sound of anvil strikes echoes from the northeast and is punctuated by the soft sound of neighing from the southeast.  A large wooden sign post laden with signs offers information on the area.  You also see the Roelaren disk, a dark oak and steel wagon, a dwarven blacksmith assistant, a freshly cut stump with a Rumor Woods map on it and an old has-been jouster.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Brother-in-arms Perigourd, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren who is sitting, Four Winds Resident Brimzstone&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest, west, northwest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Riend, Arelder says, &amp;quot;I have been practicing, but as I told Sister Ifanna earlier, I am a bit uncertain I could compete against such talent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder nods to you in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen turns toward you and renders you a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Bristenn muffles something encouraging within the depths of his steel heaume.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder leans forward in his wide saddle, and, using the stirrups as leverage to lift himself farther up, he gives his white stallion a little rub between his ears.  Once he sits back down, he ensures his feet are properly angled in the stirrups, then relaxes his legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Jarnsaixa and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Odelgarde and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Knight Bachelorette.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She is tall and has lean, well-muscled form.  She appears to be mature.  She has round, slightly hooded and green-tinted hazel eyes and bronze skin.  She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull with each sporadically banded in gold-wired coils.  She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.  An angry, ragged scar trails down her left arm starting at her shoulder and ending at her wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a pair of fleece-lined kidskin gloves, a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a rugged grizzly bear pelt throat-clasped in a pennanular brooch, a pair of golvern spurs, and a cross-body swan tartan plaid over a suit of gold-edged full plate of damascened krodera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Oxhammer&#039;s command, a coal black sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his wedge-shaped head.  Oxhammer pulls his double rope harness over the sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s snout and hoists himself up onto the beast&#039;s back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  He tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;We would be honored to have you in parade with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods.&lt;br /&gt;
S &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn wryly adds, &amp;quot;What&#039;s a tourney without a parade?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride him and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn affixes her reins to her rose-sheened charger&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni affixes her reins to a white unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride the unicorn and settles onto her bare back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;She and Athalia have been trying to convince me to be team Bee...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;The only team to bee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I have had to remind her that I&#039;m Kindred.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;That sounds un-bear-able.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Giantman to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Bears like honey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Punching his toe into a niche near a reticulated rhinoceros beetle&#039;s thorax, Perigourd swings his leg over the top and settles on the soft webbing that serves as a joint between the head and thorax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Not you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Delindra asks, &amp;quot;Did he just tell a pun in kindred?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa grins at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito glances at a white bear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You glance skeptically at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Edited so Delindra will never know&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows to Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh, worth noting. Delindra here is our newest member.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa balls her hand into a fist and pounds it against a knotwork bronze brooch worn at her shoulder.  Once, twice, and three times she strikes as a fierce look of determination settles about her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;My formor squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart smiles at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa bows to Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra bows to Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod approvingly at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poised atop her white horse, Ifanna carefully rests her fingers atop the upright pommel of the horse&#039;s lion-emblazoned saddle with, seemingly, a feather-light touch.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;She was an excellent squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I can hear in your voice the pride.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, she made me proud.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectedly says, &amp;quot;And a wonderful Mentor I had as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;Final call to join the cavalcade. We are gathering at the jouster in rumor woods. The competition will begin after the parade!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon leans forward and rests against a grey destrier&#039;s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectionately adds, &amp;quot;He did an exceptional job working wiht a Cholenite protege.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, you say, &amp;quot;We all face challenges.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Greetings all, the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and the Azure Sun welcome you to the Second Annual Cavalcade of Mounts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In a moment we will mount our steeds and parade across the lists to the Roar of the Stars to enjoy an evening of equestrian excellence in which we encourage you all to raise your standards, crests, and calls of fealty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn softly says, &amp;quot;Only one Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn rubs a rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We shall begin the parade on upon the hornblast and the entourage will cavort slowly to the bonfire&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee affixes her reins to her chestnut mare&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a bronze-fit walnut leather saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos affixes his reins to a black unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride the unicorn and settles into a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lifts his pale golden warhorn to his lips and gives a mighty blow, loosing a low resounding blast from the warhorn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr waves his leather reins through the air and a white horse arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Onward!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brother-in-arms Perigourd rides southeast on a mechanized rhinoceros beetle, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wear a sable standard displaying an argent tri-winged charge, securing it to show over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart waves his black banner around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Quickly raising the horn to your lips, you seal your mouth tightly around the mouthpiece and blow into it, trumpeting a piercing alarm which echoes through the surrounding area.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise your sable standard high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lets loose a loud whoop of delight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise yourself up in the nakaten, weight balanced entirely on your stirrups, and survey your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride her and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd pauses for a moment atop your golvern rhinoceros beetle, his profile perfect as he gazes around expectantly.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon raises his matte ebon maul high over his head, letting loose a battle cry as if preparing to deal a crushing blow!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen lightly brushes her fingers against the horse&#039;s healthy coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd waves his doe trippant standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jarnsaixa rolls her shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd gets a firm grip on the staff of his doe trippant standard and turns it in a wide, fluttering circle overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Arelder rolls back onto his seat bones in his wide saddle, squares his shoulders over his hips, and sits up straight atop his white stallion as he assumes a proper riding posture.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos gently rubs the neck of the black unicorn he is mounted upon, causing him to whinny softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna waves her Vornavian silk pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You lean forward over your nakaten&#039;s pommel ring and sweep your palm along your gold wastesdragon&#039;s neck.  His daubed, gold hide quivers at your touch, and he gives a sudden, jerky shake of his wedge-shaped head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd rides on a mechanized rhinoceros rhinoceros beetle up a winding track, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren waves her black and red standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni gently lays a hand on a mottled grey elk&#039;s neck, causing him to turn his eyes to meet her.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan rubs her sleek crystal sphere, and within moments a blue fire races across the crystalline surface of the statue within, flickering and burning with a pulsating radiance.  The surface of the statue ruffles with ghostly, spectral feathers as the glow rises up from within the glass, shining with the icy hues of frigid snow-capped mountains.  The silhouette of a fiery bird rises upwards from the sphere and takes shape, the twin blazing orbs of its eyes reflecting a miniature world of blizzards and raging storms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then the silhouette dims slightly, revealing the form of an ethereal deep blue phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd taps his doe trippant standard on the ground before him in a slow, rhythmic beat, drawing attention to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;arrive at the &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Riders may dismount!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd removes a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs from in his green leather cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde moves to stand behind Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd carefully sets a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn pats a dun charger firmly on his hindquarter.&lt;br /&gt;
A well-muscled dun charger whinnies and gallops off into the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder smiles at the owl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot; This year we are celebrating the 30th year of the founding of the Silver Gryphons and are honored to offer as prizes for our top three competitors one of a common, an uncommon, or a rare mount with first place being given first choice and so forth. Performances will be judged on aesthetics of the rider and mount, creativity, and the content of their performance. All performances should not exceed three minutes in length.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It&#039;s our privilege to have as our expert panel of judges Sir Guarrin Hjeldin, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, Sir Bristenn Mires, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Azure Sun, and Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr, Imperial Blade and Knight of the Turamzzyrian Empire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;At this time I would ask that all competitors whisper to me their official name and title as well as that of the trusted mount they will be performing with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;If the judges could gather around me so we can discuss the competitors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We also have some tokens of appreciation for attendees in the cornucopia for all to enjoy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Evening to you both.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You are leading Jarnsaixa and Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods understandingly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the contestants are getting situated, our first door prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos lays his hand on a regal black unicorn&#039;s flank, causing her to jump, slightly startled.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;Easy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon waves his grey leather reins through the air and a grey destrier arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
A black unicorn suddenly tenses, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looks at his surroundings.  Kothos slips his shoulder beneath his neck, his gaze following the path that he is looking at, and lightly touches his cheek in a reassuring gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito collects a white iron medallion from a large compartment inside the amaranth kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito removes a thick raw reindeer steak from in his black suede jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dipping into a lazy dive, the coppery barn owl glides to the ground and lands.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
A white bear snuffs Yukito&#039;s hand noisily, prying a thick raw reindeer steak from his fingers with surprisingly gentle jaws.  Any semblance of gentility ends there, though, as he devours the steak in a loud, wet series of chomps before having the mostly good graces to lick his chops clean afterward.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Gripping firmly with both hands, Giogionni moves his clenched fists together and then yanks them back, pulling a set of lustrous black leather reins taut with a loud &amp;quot;T H W A P&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;First up we have the gallant Giogionni Wyvernspur, upon their faithful mount Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;I hope so!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Giogionni Wyvernspur.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D&#039;ahranal.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall, straight, and well-postured.  He appears to blend confidence with a seasoned perspective.  He has starry, lost-in-thought emerald green eyes and flawlessly smooth, sun-touched skin.  He has chin length, wind-blown moonlight silver hair caught in a chaotic style of pale and dark-streaked strands.  He has a sculpted, refined face, a pair of silver-framed spectacles perched upon his nose and a sharply defined jawline.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a silver-traced emerald flame tattoo on his finger, a tattoo of winding dark tendrils and jagged lightning on his leg, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his right wrist, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his left wrist, an elaborate series of overlapping silver sigils tattoo on his right forearm, a silver knotwork tattoo on his right shoulder, a House Sovyn tattoo on his neck, and an inked spiral of tightly coiled silver tendrils on his temple.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a set of lustrous black leather reins in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a tailored jet black ataela longcoat with an upturned collar, an argent brocade waistcoat fastened with emerald-set silver buttons, an open-necked black silk shirt with silver cufflinks, a knotwork-etched wide silver armband, a knotwork-etched wide silver band, a slender black leather belt with a knotwork-etched silver buckle, a pair of pleated jet black ataela pants, and some polished black leather shoes with silver-tipped laces.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Giogionni, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Than you may proceed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn.&lt;br /&gt;
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven&#039;s wing.  His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing.  His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids.  A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a knitted wisp-patterned viridian pashmina blanket, a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle, a length of arabesque-embroidered silk, a quintet of kaleidoscopic glass rings and a curved silver filigree spiral adorning his horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni gives a heavy sigh as Nyx whinnies and shakes her mane.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde quietly asks, &amp;quot;Its exciting, isn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni stares blankly at Nyx, who looks away in the opposite direction, deciding instead to start walking backwards.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;Not backwards!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni shakes his head in disbelief as Nyx continues walking backwards, her tail swishing back and forth.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni assertively says, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s move on to the diagonal!  Di.  Ag.  On.  Al.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni watches in disbelief as Nyx, in perfect defiance, walks toward the judges&#039; panel.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;You are not here to flirt with the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni mischievously says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s my job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni unsuccessfully pulls on the reins as Nyx gives the judges a slight nod.  She then raises her hoof as if to wave!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exasperatedly asks, &amp;quot;How about galloping?  Ya think ya can manage to gallop properly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni waits impatiently as Nyx remains perfectly still, a mischievous glint in her eyes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;He&#039;s stealing YOUR act, stubborn one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;Fine.  Just....  do whatever ya want.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni looks hopeful as Nyx performs a perfect pirouette.  And then another.  And another.  His hope fades to a look of utter defeat as Nyx spins faster and faster.  She finally stops spinning and stand perfectly still, though her mane and tail are a twisted, tangled mess.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni folds his arms across his chest, watching Nyx expectantly.  &amp;quot;Are ya done?&amp;quot;  Upon hearing the word &amp;quot;done,&amp;quot; Nyx takes off in a full gallop toward the exit, a delighted whinny echoing through the arena as she disappears from sight.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Giogionni and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around him in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;Ladies and gentleman!  That was....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;That was....  Whatever that was.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;A moment while the judges discuss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Also, if any other individuals wish to perform, again just let me know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni nods knowingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart turns toward Kothos and renders a sharp salute with his honey drop biscuit.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges confer, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Perigourd, &amp;quot;Scoring completed, ready for the next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Next we have the incredibly tough Sister-at-arms Ifanna Aynesworth, Standard Bearer of the Order of the Azure Sun, upon the magnificent Goldberry of the Order&#039;s  well kept stables!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd asks, &amp;quot;Are you ready ma&#039;am?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her Vornavian silk pennon high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking brightly to Perigourd, Ifanna answers, &amp;quot;Aye!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna wears an argent Vornavian silk pennon emblazoned with a fiery azure sunburst, securing it to show over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna removes some white leather reins from in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;At your leisure then!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly declares, &amp;quot;Me name is Ifanna Aynesworth, Sister-at-armes an&#039; Standard Bearer ov th&#039; Order of the Azure Sun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna confidently announces, &amp;quot;T&#039;night I will be demonstratin&#039; Tilting at th&#039; Rings, once ageen on me steed ov th&#039; order th&#039; courser Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna rubs a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You see a lithe white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
She stands about 16 hands at the withers.  She has a lithe body with a healthy white coat.  She has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears.  She has a long mane that flows loosely over one shoulder, and a full black tail.  &lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an embossed soft suede harness, a golden lion-emblazoned saddle and some iron horseshoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her arm and motions with one of her steel-plate gauntlets towards the grounds. Out of the crowd, several assistants in grey livery trundle out, some dragging with them a number of wooden frames and others sandbags. Each  of the six frames is outfitted with a twine-tied iron ring dangling from its joist.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna cheerfully continues, &amp;quot;One&#039;ve th&#039; many hastlitudes ov knoights an&#039; men-t&#039;armes, Ring Tiltin&#039; is a trainin&#039; game &#039;longside ridin&#039; th&#039; quintain. One&#039;ve been playin&#039; fer th&#039; better ov me career!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly explains, &amp;quot;T&#039;night not only will I be ridin&#039; down one, but &#039;aff a dozen wit&#039; me lance &#039;ere in a loop-- in full &#039;arness, as tho&#039; I were ridin&#039; inty combat, and fer speed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna draws an iron lance from one of the straps underneath her leather saddle bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her iron lance high as the grey liveried assistants finish setting up the loop of frame-hung rings around the bonfire. They scamper back into the assembled crowd.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna moves to stand near her white horse&#039;s head, facing it, and takes hold of the pastern on her left leg, stretching the leg forward, then does the same for right side, ensuring no wrinkles are present under her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brushing her fingers down a lithe white horse&#039;s neck, Ifanna then moves back several steps to grip one of the stirrups hanging down from a lithe white horse and gives it good, hard tug, ensuring that it won&#039;t slip once weight is applied to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pulls down the visor of her visored steel armet.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd takes a moment to observe Ifanna.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna affixes her reins to her white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a golden lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna nudges her white horse slightly with her heels, urging her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna briskly shouts, &amp;quot;Hiah!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna spurs her horse into motion with a sudden thunder of hooves, all the while hoisting her iron lance in a vertical position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna continues her horse&#039;s short yet all out gallop towards the first of the rings, bringing down her iron lance into position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna&#039;s iron lance couched just at the last second, she scores a hit, tearing the ring from its twine as it rattles down the length of her iron lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a quick nudge with her silver spurs, urging her forward. In a flash, she approaches the second ring of the first loop, this one higher than the other, and cleanly skewers it!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna brings her horse to bear on the third and final ring of the loop&#039;s first half, and with the distinct noise of metal sliding against metal, she skewers this one as well! With a snap of the ring&#039;s twine, the frame wobbles back and forth under its sandbags while she slows and rounds the bend.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Yunni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Collecting a log from a nearby pile, a young aelotoi girl tosses it into a large blazing bonfire, causing flickering embers to rise into the star-strewn sky.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a firm nudge with her silver spurs, springing her into action again as she rounds the bend! Her lance couched, she takes aim at the fourth ring, this one lower than the last three.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna handily skewers the fourth ring with her iron lance as she passes by, snapping the twine and sending the frame tumbling to the ground from the force behind her!)&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna leans forward in her saddle, lance still couched and at the ready, as she passes by the fifth ring-- this one nearly a moment late, but snapped from its twine all the same and clattering down the length of her iron lance.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna nudges her horse once again with her silver spurs, suddenly leaning back as she adjusts her position for the sixth and final ring. With the clear, crisp note of metal against metal, the ring clatters straight down the length of the lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Ifanna and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna breathlessly lowers her lance as her horse thunders to a slow trot, whinnying and shaking her mane. Finally, she slows to a halt, turning her horse with the weight of her body and a brief tug of the reins.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her iron lance in triumph!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants, trying to catch her breath.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In a daring display of acrobatics, Ifanna tucks her legs up under herself, momentarily balancing her toes on her lion-emblazoned saddle, then leaps off of it, neatly landing next to her white horse in an overly dramatic dismount.  She reaches up and detaches some white leather reins from her horse&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
Sweeping her arm outward, Ifanna bows low in a grand fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra waves her battle standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna idly leans up against a lithe white horse, resting her head against the side of her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Quite a wonderful performance! we will await the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna plants a quick smooch on a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna beams happily!&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans on her lance.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking encouragingly to Ifanna, Everall says, &amp;quot;Well done indeed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While we await our illustrious judges, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready for the next competitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna put some white leather reins in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna walks over to the boulder and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And now we&#039;re happy to present the irrepressible Jastalyn Dragorth, riding her svelte rose-sheened charger named Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Today, we bring forth more than a display of strength and elegance&lt;br /&gt;
      we offer a living tribute to the divine grace of Oleani, goddess of love.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;As you gaze upon this noble steed and their devoted rider, see not just flesh and form, but a symbol of harmony between heart and spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Let your hearts open, as Oleani&#039;s light guides this bond between horse and rider, a dance of trust, elegance, and divine affection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Without futher ado, I give you the one and only, Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wrapping her hand around the vaalorn idol pinned to her chest, Jastalyn bows her head forward in prayer.  Ethereal rose light seeps through her fingers in a dazzling spiral along with the fading sound of a charger&#039;s whinny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Moving to a rose-sheened charger&#039;s side, Jastalyn pats her affectionately on her neck.  She nickers in response, the sound eerily similar to a humanoid chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a svelte body that exudes beauty and elegance.  Her coat is satiny and gleams with a rose-sheened hue that catches the light impeccably.  Perky ears stand attentively atop her delicate face, which is framed by a forelock that is gently draped over her forehead.  She has a long, flowing mane that spills softly down her neck, creating a stunning cascade that enhances her exquisite appearance.  Her soft cream, pert, voluminous tail adds to her overall allure, the perfect vision of majestic grace.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a simply woven garland of showy Elanthian snow roses and rose-dyed eyelet lace ribbones, a delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk capelet, a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star and some delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk leg wraps.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn reaches up and attaches her star-patterned reins to the charger&#039;s bridle, then drapes them over the upright pommel of charger&#039;s light beige saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
Lightly placing her right foot in the stirrup on the charger&#039;s saddle, Jastalyn pushes off of her left foot and transfers her weight into the right as she gracefully mounts her charger&#039;s light beige saddle.  She twists her body so that her left foot floats over her charger&#039;s girth and slides into the left-side stirrup.  As she positions herself atop her saddle, she takes her reins in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn&#039;s battle standard leaps to her hand as she pulls it off her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn raises her battle standard skyward!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she coaxes her charger into a galloping gait before the judges, waving her standard in wide, exaggerated arcs. The breeze from the standard ruffles a few stray strands of her gently curled hair.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn pats her charger gently on the neck before leading her back to the center of the judging area.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn settles a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen at her back and canted over one shoulder, where it holds fast despite a lack of bindings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn removes a pale white firework from in her hooded starsilk mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully sets a pale white firework on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully lights the fuse on a pale white firework, which immediately begins to issue forth a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn issues a command to her charger and the animal responds by high-stepping in place, each foot in turn, while spinning in a slow circle and flicking her tail in a sweeping arc from side to side.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns away into the body of the firework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The white firework issues a violent torrent of pale white sparks from its base and shoots off into the air.  A bright trail of pale white light rises into the nighttime sky above Rumor Woods, vanishing from sight a heartbeat later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleetingly, the black unicorn gazes at Kothos with what can only be described as a bemused yet knowing expression as he touches his a horn to his forehead.  Kothos instantly slips to the ground in a deep slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill whistle precedes a large *BOOM* as glittering points of bright light erupt in the nighttime sky.  A scintillating bright pony trots across a luminous green field before slowly winking out, bits of ash floating towards the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she gives her charger a gentle nudge with the heel of her boot. The charger rears up on its hind legs and whinnies.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Securing her right foot in the saddle&#039;s stirrup, Jastalyn twists her body back and to the left, gliding her left leg over the backside of her rose-sheened charger as she gracefully dismounts and detaches some star-patterned reins from her charger&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In the name of Oleani, may you carry forward the spirit of love in every step you take, in every word you speak, and in every kindness you offer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May compassion guide your path, and may you always find beauty in even the gentlest moments.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn gently taps the blush rose charm attached to her silver charm bracelet.  An array of platinum sparks ripples over its surface before settling into a tiny banner of light, the wavering image of a cresting Oleani symbol set into its rippling surface in hues of roseate.  It shimmers for a brief second before fading into a spray of dying platinum and roseate motes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn and her charger bow low in unison towards the judges.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Jastalyn and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges deliberate, this will be the last call for entrants!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;A good time for another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni places a mechanical electrum beetle on the palm of her hand and cranks some shifting urnon gears on its thorax.  The beetle begins gyrating in a circle, some glowing veniom appendages moving rapidly into a blur of motion.  It comes to a stop, buzzing a pair of glass-tiled wings at Kothos!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;We have concluded our discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And our final entrant for the evening, the magnificent Lady Brigit upon their true and faithful Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit gazes across the crowd from her perch.)&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit shifts her weight slightly backward and makes a small click with her tongue.  A pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit reaches down and gives a pristine white hart a playful pinch on his ear.  He goes stock still for a moment, then quick as a flash, he darts his head back and catches her ankle between his teeth, nipping lightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit hisses a warning between her teeth, and a pristine white hart tenses, lowering his head slightly and clenching his muscles, preparing to lunge.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit stops and listens to a buzzing bee.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit lowers her head slightly and places a hand atop a pristine white hart.  Brigit starts to make a low growling noise deep in her throat, and after a moment, he begins to growl along, his muscles bunching beneath her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The hart is wearing a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading, some twisted ebon silk ribbons trailing across his antlers, and a knitted honeycomb-patterned pale gold ruhani wool blanket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit laughs at Frost&#039;s imitation of a bear.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans far back, and a pristine white hart rears up beneath her as she grips tightly to his sides with her legs.  He paws at the air once, then twice, his head thrown back in an effort to maintain his balance, before allowing himself to fall back to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans forward and plants a light smooch between a pristine white hart&#039;s ears and he grunt softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans slightly to her right atop a pristine white hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit climbs down from a pristine white hart neck and carefully detaches a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading from him.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit removes a wild carrot from in her tapestry-weave backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
Sniffing curiously at the wild carrot in Brigit&#039;s palm, a pristine white hart opens his mouth around the offering and snatches it out of her hand, relishing the treat with slow bites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit grabs the hide on both sides of a pristine white hart&#039;s neck and gives him a friendly shake.  He opens his mouth and lets his tongue loll out slightly as he tosses his head in time with the motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;A very majestic beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit gently pushes down on a pristine white hart&#039;s forehead and makes a small click with her tongue.  Eyeing her carefully, a majestic pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Brigit and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We will await the judges final judging and overall scores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges tally their scores, a final door prize! Some quite lucky socks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;During this time I&#039;d invite everyone to keep their eyes and ears open as we continue to celebrate the Silver Gryphons thirtieeth year anniversary throughout the year with an event each month. We are very grateful for all those who have come to support us and to enjoy the evening with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And with that the judges have finished conferring and come to their decision.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;With such wonderful performances, we will also be awarding a 4th place prize this evening as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In 4th place, we have the wonderful Lady Brigit and her hart Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In third place we have Giogionni and his tumultous steed Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In second place...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We have the wonderful Jastalyn and her delightful charger Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And in first place we have the resilient and two time competitor Ifanna Aynesworth upon Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This log is from the Cavalcade of Mounts at Rumor Woods during the sprint of 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Order of the Silver Gryphon.  It has been edited to focus on NPCs, spoken dialogue, and for clarity.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Log==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2|border=none|font=arial}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;In an hour, join the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and Azure Sun at Rumor Woods for the cavalcade of Mounts! Join the parade and then the competition for a raffle and prizes, including mounts ranging from common to rare!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You reach inside one of the containers hanging from the steel and hide harness and grab the sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;l at wastes&lt;br /&gt;
You see a colossal gold wastesdragon, whom you have named &amp;quot;Gulveig.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His wedge-shaped head is masked in black, with tiny pupilless burnished gold eyes peering out from beneath low ridges.  Breaking up the darkness, a daubed pattern of gold scales begins just past his brow and extends all the way to the tip of his tail.  With a thick-scaled hide eye-catching in both contrast and depth of color, his form is stout, his body and tail thick, and his neck and legs short.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a twisted black rope harness, a copper-traced pectoral of overlapping faenor leaves, a soft knitted hunter green and cobalt blue tartan blanket and a selshis skin nakaten with gold cantle spikes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are currently riding a colossal gold wastesdragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Rumor Woods, Junction]&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple game trails converge on this section of track, their winding tracks sending them deeper into the western and northern confines of the flame-topped aspen grove.  Westerly pathways flank the edges of an enormous jousting field surrounded by high viewing stands topped with colorful pennants.  The ringing sound of anvil strikes echoes from the northeast and is punctuated by the soft sound of neighing from the southeast.  A large wooden sign post laden with signs offers information on the area.  You also see the Roelaren disk, a dark oak and steel wagon, a dwarven blacksmith assistant, a freshly cut stump with a Rumor Woods map on it and an old has-been jouster.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Brother-in-arms Perigourd, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren who is sitting, Four Winds Resident Brimzstone&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest, west, northwest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Riend, Arelder says, &amp;quot;I have been practicing, but as I told Sister Ifanna earlier, I am a bit uncertain I could compete against such talent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder nods to you in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen turns toward you and renders you a sharp hand salute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Bristenn muffles something encouraging within the depths of his steel heaume.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder leans forward in his wide saddle, and, using the stirrups as leverage to lift himself farther up, he gives his white stallion a little rub between his ears.  Once he sits back down, he ensures his feet are properly angled in the stirrups, then relaxes his legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Jarnsaixa and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You turn toward Odelgarde and render a sharp salute with your sable standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Knight Bachelorette.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She is tall and has lean, well-muscled form.  She appears to be mature.  She has round, slightly hooded and green-tinted hazel eyes and bronze skin.  She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull with each sporadically banded in gold-wired coils.  She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.  An angry, ragged scar trails down her left arm starting at her shoulder and ending at her wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a pair of fleece-lined kidskin gloves, a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a rugged grizzly bear pelt throat-clasped in a pennanular brooch, a pair of golvern spurs, and a cross-body swan tartan plaid over a suit of gold-edged full plate of damascened krodera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Oxhammer&#039;s command, a coal black sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his wedge-shaped head.  Oxhammer pulls his double rope harness over the sai&#039;ri monster&#039;s snout and hoists himself up onto the beast&#039;s back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  He tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;We would be honored to have you in parade with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa nods.&lt;br /&gt;
S &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn wryly adds, &amp;quot;What&#039;s a tourney without a parade?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Everall affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride him and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn affixes her reins to her rose-sheened charger&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni affixes her reins to a white unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride the unicorn and settles onto her bare back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;She and Athalia have been trying to convince me to be team Bee...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Perigourd says, &amp;quot;The only team to bee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I have had to remind her that I&#039;m Kindred.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;That sounds un-bear-able.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan grins at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Giantman to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Bears like honey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Punching his toe into a niche near a reticulated rhinoceros beetle&#039;s thorax, Perigourd swings his leg over the top and settles on the soft webbing that serves as a joint between the head and thorax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;Not you, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh aye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, Delindra asks, &amp;quot;Did he just tell a pun in kindred?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa grins at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito glances at a white bear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You glance skeptically at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Edited so Delindra will never know&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kothos bows to Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Jarnsaixa, you say, &amp;quot;Oh, worth noting. Delindra here is our newest member.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa balls her hand into a fist and pounds it against a knotwork bronze brooch worn at her shoulder.  Once, twice, and three times she strikes as a fierce look of determination settles about her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;My formor squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart smiles at Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa bows to Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra bows to Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You nod approvingly at Delindra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poised atop her white horse, Ifanna carefully rests her fingers atop the upright pommel of the horse&#039;s lion-emblazoned saddle with, seemingly, a feather-light touch.&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;She was an excellent squire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Cryheart, Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;I can hear in your voice the pride.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart says, &amp;quot;Aye, she made me proud.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectedly says, &amp;quot;And a wonderful Mentor I had as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[General] You exclaim, &amp;quot;Final call to join the cavalcade. We are gathering at the jouster in rumor woods. The competition will begin after the parade!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon leans forward and rests against a grey destrier&#039;s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra affectionately adds, &amp;quot;He did an exceptional job working wiht a Cholenite protege.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Delindra, you say, &amp;quot;We all face challenges.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Greetings all, the Orders of the Silver Gryphon and the Azure Sun welcome you to the Second Annual Cavalcade of Mounts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In a moment we will mount our steeds and parade across the lists to the Roar of the Stars to enjoy an evening of equestrian excellence in which we encourage you all to raise your standards, crests, and calls of fealty!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn softly says, &amp;quot;Only one Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn rubs a rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We shall begin the parade on upon the hornblast and the entourage will cavort slowly to the bonfire&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raelee affixes her reins to her chestnut mare&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a bronze-fit walnut leather saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos affixes his reins to a black unicorn&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride the unicorn and settles into a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lifts his pale golden warhorn to his lips and gives a mighty blow, loosing a low resounding blast from the warhorn!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr waves his leather reins through the air and a white horse arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Onward!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brother-in-arms Perigourd rides southeast on a mechanized rhinoceros beetle, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wear a sable standard displaying an argent tri-winged charge, securing it to show over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart waves his black banner around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Quickly raising the horn to your lips, you seal your mouth tightly around the mouthpiece and blow into it, trumpeting a piercing alarm which echoes through the surrounding area.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise your sable standard high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd lets loose a loud whoop of delight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You raise yourself up in the nakaten, weight balanced entirely on your stirrups, and survey your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Goldstr affixes his reins to his white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, he swings astride her and settles into a black kidskin-seated saddle with phoenix-etched stirrups.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd pauses for a moment atop your golvern rhinoceros beetle, his profile perfect as he gazes around expectantly.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Tebon raises his matte ebon maul high over his head, letting loose a battle cry as if preparing to deal a crushing blow!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen lightly brushes her fingers against the horse&#039;s healthy coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd waves his doe trippant standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jarnsaixa rolls her shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd gets a firm grip on the staff of his doe trippant standard and turns it in a wide, fluttering circle overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Arelder rolls back onto his seat bones in his wide saddle, squares his shoulders over his hips, and sits up straight atop his white stallion as he assumes a proper riding posture.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos gently rubs the neck of the black unicorn he is mounted upon, causing him to whinny softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna waves her Vornavian silk pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You lean forward over your nakaten&#039;s pommel ring and sweep your palm along your gold wastesdragon&#039;s neck.  His daubed, gold hide quivers at your touch, and he gives a sudden, jerky shake of his wedge-shaped head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd rides on a mechanized rhinoceros rhinoceros beetle up a winding track, followed by his group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren waves her black and red standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni gently lays a hand on a mottled grey elk&#039;s neck, causing him to turn his eyes to meet her.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Mourdeyan rubs her sleek crystal sphere, and within moments a blue fire races across the crystalline surface of the statue within, flickering and burning with a pulsating radiance.  The surface of the statue ruffles with ghostly, spectral feathers as the glow rises up from within the glass, shining with the icy hues of frigid snow-capped mountains.  The silhouette of a fiery bird rises upwards from the sphere and takes shape, the twin blazing orbs of its eyes reflecting a miniature world of blizzards and raging storms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then the silhouette dims slightly, revealing the form of an ethereal deep blue phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd taps his doe trippant standard on the ground before him in a slow, rhythmic beat, drawing attention to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&amp;lt;arrive at the &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Riders may dismount!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd removes a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs from in his green leather cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde moves to stand behind Jarnsaixa.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd carefully sets a woven cornucopia of faewood twigs down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bristenn pats a dun charger firmly on his hindquarter.&lt;br /&gt;
A well-muscled dun charger whinnies and gallops off into the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
Arelder smiles at the owl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot; This year we are celebrating the 30th year of the founding of the Silver Gryphons and are honored to offer as prizes for our top three competitors one of a common, an uncommon, or a rare mount with first place being given first choice and so forth. Performances will be judged on aesthetics of the rider and mount, creativity, and the content of their performance. All performances should not exceed three minutes in length.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It&#039;s our privilege to have as our expert panel of judges Sir Guarrin Hjeldin, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, Sir Bristenn Mires, Knight-Regent of the Order of the Azure Sun, and Dame Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr, Imperial Blade and Knight of the Turamzzyrian Empire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;At this time I would ask that all competitors whisper to me their official name and title as well as that of the trusted mount they will be performing with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;If the judges could gather around me so we can discuss the competitors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We also have some tokens of appreciation for attendees in the cornucopia for all to enjoy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You whisper, &amp;quot;Evening to you both.&amp;quot; to your group.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You are leading Jarnsaixa and Bristenn.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos nods understandingly at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the contestants are getting situated, our first door prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Kothos lays his hand on a regal black unicorn&#039;s flank, causing her to jump, slightly startled.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;Easy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tebon waves his grey leather reins through the air and a grey destrier arrives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
A black unicorn suddenly tenses, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looks at his surroundings.  Kothos slips his shoulder beneath his neck, his gaze following the path that he is looking at, and lightly touches his cheek in a reassuring gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito collects a white iron medallion from a large compartment inside the amaranth kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yukito removes a thick raw reindeer steak from in his black suede jacket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dipping into a lazy dive, the coppery barn owl glides to the ground and lands.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
A white bear snuffs Yukito&#039;s hand noisily, prying a thick raw reindeer steak from his fingers with surprisingly gentle jaws.  Any semblance of gentility ends there, though, as he devours the steak in a loud, wet series of chomps before having the mostly good graces to lick his chops clean afterward.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Gripping firmly with both hands, Giogionni moves his clenched fists together and then yanks them back, pulling a set of lustrous black leather reins taut with a loud &amp;quot;T H W A P&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;First up we have the gallant Giogionni Wyvernspur, upon their faithful mount Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;I hope so!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see Giogionni Wyvernspur.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Sylvankind of the Lassaran D&#039;ahranal.&lt;br /&gt;
He is tall, straight, and well-postured.  He appears to blend confidence with a seasoned perspective.  He has starry, lost-in-thought emerald green eyes and flawlessly smooth, sun-touched skin.  He has chin length, wind-blown moonlight silver hair caught in a chaotic style of pale and dark-streaked strands.  He has a sculpted, refined face, a pair of silver-framed spectacles perched upon his nose and a sharply defined jawline.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a silver-traced emerald flame tattoo on his finger, a tattoo of winding dark tendrils and jagged lightning on his leg, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his right wrist, an elegantly scripted tattoo on his left wrist, an elaborate series of overlapping silver sigils tattoo on his right forearm, a silver knotwork tattoo on his right shoulder, a House Sovyn tattoo on his neck, and an inked spiral of tightly coiled silver tendrils on his temple.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is holding a set of lustrous black leather reins in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a tailored jet black ataela longcoat with an upturned collar, an argent brocade waistcoat fastened with emerald-set silver buttons, an open-necked black silk shirt with silver cufflinks, a knotwork-etched wide silver armband, a knotwork-etched wide silver band, a slender black leather belt with a knotwork-etched silver buckle, a pair of pleated jet black ataela pants, and some polished black leather shoes with silver-tipped laces.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Giogionni, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Than you may proceed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn.&lt;br /&gt;
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven&#039;s wing.  His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing.  His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids.  A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a knitted wisp-patterned viridian pashmina blanket, a scarlet jackdaw-stamped saddle, a length of arabesque-embroidered silk, a quintet of kaleidoscopic glass rings and a curved silver filigree spiral adorning his horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni gives a heavy sigh as Nyx whinnies and shakes her mane.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde quietly asks, &amp;quot;Its exciting, isn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde grins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni stares blankly at Nyx, who looks away in the opposite direction, deciding instead to start walking backwards.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;Not backwards!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni shakes his head in disbelief as Nyx continues walking backwards, her tail swishing back and forth.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni assertively says, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s move on to the diagonal!  Di.  Ag.  On.  Al.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni watches in disbelief as Nyx, in perfect defiance, walks toward the judges&#039; panel.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exclaims, &amp;quot;You are not here to flirt with the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni mischievously says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s my job.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni unsuccessfully pulls on the reins as Nyx gives the judges a slight nod.  She then raises her hoof as if to wave!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni exasperatedly asks, &amp;quot;How about galloping?  Ya think ya can manage to gallop properly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni waits impatiently as Nyx remains perfectly still, a mischievous glint in her eyes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to a rugged white stallion, Arelder says, &amp;quot;He&#039;s stealing YOUR act, stubborn one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;Fine.  Just....  do whatever ya want.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni looks hopeful as Nyx performs a perfect pirouette.  And then another.  And another.  His hope fades to a look of utter defeat as Nyx spins faster and faster.  She finally stops spinning and stand perfectly still, though her mane and tail are a twisted, tangled mess.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Giogionni folds his arms across his chest, watching Nyx expectantly.  &amp;quot;Are ya done?&amp;quot;  Upon hearing the word &amp;quot;done,&amp;quot; Nyx takes off in a full gallop toward the exit, a delighted whinny echoing through the arena as she disappears from sight.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Giogionni and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around him in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni says, &amp;quot;Ladies and gentleman!  That was....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni sighs heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Missoni laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giogionni dejectedly says, &amp;quot;That was....  Whatever that was.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;A moment while the judges discuss.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Of course.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd says, &amp;quot;Also, if any other individuals wish to perform, again just let me know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods at Raelee.&lt;br /&gt;
Yunni nods knowingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Cryheart turns toward Kothos and renders a sharp salute with his honey drop biscuit.&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges confer, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Perigourd, &amp;quot;Scoring completed, ready for the next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Next we have the incredibly tough Sister-at-arms Ifanna Aynesworth, Standard Bearer of the Order of the Azure Sun, upon the magnificent Goldberry of the Order&#039;s  well kept stables!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd asks, &amp;quot;Are you ready ma&#039;am?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her Vornavian silk pennon high into the air for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking brightly to Perigourd, Ifanna answers, &amp;quot;Aye!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna wears an argent Vornavian silk pennon emblazoned with a fiery azure sunburst, securing it to show over her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna removes some white leather reins from in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ifanna, Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;At your leisure then!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly declares, &amp;quot;Me name is Ifanna Aynesworth, Sister-at-armes an&#039; Standard Bearer ov th&#039; Order of the Azure Sun!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna confidently announces, &amp;quot;T&#039;night I will be demonstratin&#039; Tilting at th&#039; Rings, once ageen on me steed ov th&#039; order th&#039; courser Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna rubs a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You see a lithe white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
She stands about 16 hands at the withers.  She has a lithe body with a healthy white coat.  She has a square face, a short forelock, and pointed ears.  She has a long mane that flows loosely over one shoulder, and a full black tail.  &lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an embossed soft suede harness, a golden lion-emblazoned saddle and some iron horseshoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her arm and motions with one of her steel-plate gauntlets towards the grounds. Out of the crowd, several assistants in grey livery trundle out, some dragging with them a number of wooden frames and others sandbags. Each  of the six frames is outfitted with a twine-tied iron ring dangling from its joist.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna cheerfully continues, &amp;quot;One&#039;ve th&#039; many hastlitudes ov knoights an&#039; men-t&#039;armes, Ring Tiltin&#039; is a trainin&#039; game &#039;longside ridin&#039; th&#039; quintain. One&#039;ve been playin&#039; fer th&#039; better ov me career!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna clearly explains, &amp;quot;T&#039;night not only will I be ridin&#039; down one, but &#039;aff a dozen wit&#039; me lance &#039;ere in a loop-- in full &#039;arness, as tho&#039; I were ridin&#039; inty combat, and fer speed!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna draws an iron lance from one of the straps underneath her leather saddle bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna raises her iron lance high as the grey liveried assistants finish setting up the loop of frame-hung rings around the bonfire. They scamper back into the assembled crowd.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna moves to stand near her white horse&#039;s head, facing it, and takes hold of the pastern on her left leg, stretching the leg forward, then does the same for right side, ensuring no wrinkles are present under her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brushing her fingers down a lithe white horse&#039;s neck, Ifanna then moves back several steps to grip one of the stirrups hanging down from a lithe white horse and gives it good, hard tug, ensuring that it won&#039;t slip once weight is applied to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pulls down the visor of her visored steel armet.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd takes a moment to observe Ifanna.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna affixes her reins to her white horse&#039;s bit, and with a firm push off the ground, she swings astride her and settles into a golden lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans forward in her saddle and rubs the side of her horse&#039;s neck, then pats her gently while quietly uttering several words of encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna nudges her white horse slightly with her heels, urging her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna briskly shouts, &amp;quot;Hiah!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna spurs her horse into motion with a sudden thunder of hooves, all the while hoisting her iron lance in a vertical position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna continues her horse&#039;s short yet all out gallop towards the first of the rings, bringing down her iron lance into position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna&#039;s iron lance couched just at the last second, she scores a hit, tearing the ring from its twine as it rattles down the length of her iron lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a quick nudge with her silver spurs, urging her forward. In a flash, she approaches the second ring of the first loop, this one higher than the other, and cleanly skewers it!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna brings her horse to bear on the third and final ring of the loop&#039;s first half, and with the distinct noise of metal sliding against metal, she skewers this one as well! With a snap of the ring&#039;s twine, the frame wobbles back and forth under its sandbags while she slows and rounds the bend.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Yunni lets out a cheer!&lt;br /&gt;
Collecting a log from a nearby pile, a young aelotoi girl tosses it into a large blazing bonfire, causing flickering embers to rise into the star-strewn sky.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna gives her horse a firm nudge with her silver spurs, springing her into action again as she rounds the bend! Her lance couched, she takes aim at the fourth ring, this one lower than the last three.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna handily skewers the fourth ring with her iron lance as she passes by, snapping the twine and sending the frame tumbling to the ground from the force behind her!)&lt;br /&gt;
Roelaren applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna leans forward in her saddle, lance still couched and at the ready, as she passes by the fifth ring-- this one nearly a moment late, but snapped from its twine all the same and clattering down the length of her iron lance.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna nudges her horse once again with her silver spurs, suddenly leaning back as she adjusts her position for the sixth and final ring. With the clear, crisp note of metal against metal, the ring clatters straight down the length of the lance!)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Ifanna and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ifanna breathlessly lowers her lance as her horse thunders to a slow trot, whinnying and shaking her mane. Finally, she slows to a halt, turning her horse with the weight of her body and a brief tug of the reins.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna raises her iron lance in triumph!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Odelgarde waves her vert satin pennon around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants, trying to catch her breath.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In a daring display of acrobatics, Ifanna tucks her legs up under herself, momentarily balancing her toes on her lion-emblazoned saddle, then leaps off of it, neatly landing next to her white horse in an overly dramatic dismount.  She reaches up and detaches some white leather reins from her horse&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
Sweeping her arm outward, Ifanna bows low in a grand fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delindra waves her battle standard around enthusiastically, whipping it back and forth through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna idly leans up against a lithe white horse, resting her head against the side of her lion-emblazoned saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd exclaims, &amp;quot;Quite a wonderful performance! we will await the judges!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna plants a quick smooch on a white horse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna beams happily!&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna leans on her lance.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking encouragingly to Ifanna, Everall says, &amp;quot;Well done indeed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While we await our illustrious judges, another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;The judges are ready for the next competitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna put some white leather reins in her white wool tabard.&lt;br /&gt;
Ifanna walks over to the boulder and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd nods approvingly to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And now we&#039;re happy to present the irrepressible Jastalyn Dragorth, riding her svelte rose-sheened charger named Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face you.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Today, we bring forth more than a display of strength and elegance&lt;br /&gt;
      we offer a living tribute to the divine grace of Oleani, goddess of love.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;As you gaze upon this noble steed and their devoted rider, see not just flesh and form, but a symbol of harmony between heart and spirit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Let your hearts open, as Oleani&#039;s light guides this bond between horse and rider, a dance of trust, elegance, and divine affection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Without futher ado, I give you the one and only, Rosie.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wrapping her hand around the vaalorn idol pinned to her chest, Jastalyn bows her head forward in prayer.  Ethereal rose light seeps through her fingers in a dazzling spiral along with the fading sound of a charger&#039;s whinny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn turns to face a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Moving to a rose-sheened charger&#039;s side, Jastalyn pats her affectionately on her neck.  She nickers in response, the sound eerily similar to a humanoid chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
You see a svelte rose-sheened charger.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a svelte body that exudes beauty and elegance.  Her coat is satiny and gleams with a rose-sheened hue that catches the light impeccably.  Perky ears stand attentively atop her delicate face, which is framed by a forelock that is gently draped over her forehead.  She has a long, flowing mane that spills softly down her neck, creating a stunning cascade that enhances her exquisite appearance.  Her soft cream, pert, voluminous tail adds to her overall allure, the perfect vision of majestic grace.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a simply woven garland of showy Elanthian snow roses and rose-dyed eyelet lace ribbones, a delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk capelet, a light beige saddle burned with an eight-pointed star and some delicate knitted satiny rose starsilk leg wraps.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn reaches up and attaches her star-patterned reins to the charger&#039;s bridle, then drapes them over the upright pommel of charger&#039;s light beige saddle.&lt;br /&gt;
Lightly placing her right foot in the stirrup on the charger&#039;s saddle, Jastalyn pushes off of her left foot and transfers her weight into the right as she gracefully mounts her charger&#039;s light beige saddle.  She twists her body so that her left foot floats over her charger&#039;s girth and slides into the left-side stirrup.  As she positions herself atop her saddle, she takes her reins in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn&#039;s battle standard leaps to her hand as she pulls it off her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn raises her battle standard skyward!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn waves a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen around.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she coaxes her charger into a galloping gait before the judges, waving her standard in wide, exaggerated arcs. The breeze from the standard ruffles a few stray strands of her gently curled hair.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn pats her charger gently on the neck before leading her back to the center of the judging area.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn settles a sacrosanct vibrant red battle standard with a rippling pale pink sheen at her back and canted over one shoulder, where it holds fast despite a lack of bindings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn removes a pale white firework from in her hooded starsilk mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully sets a pale white firework on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn carefully lights the fuse on a pale white firework, which immediately begins to issue forth a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn issues a command to her charger and the animal responds by high-stepping in place, each foot in turn, while spinning in a slow circle and flicking her tail in a sweeping arc from side to side.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns down further, issuing a torrent of multi-colored sparks.&lt;br /&gt;
The fuse on a pale white firework burns away into the body of the firework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The white firework issues a violent torrent of pale white sparks from its base and shoots off into the air.  A bright trail of pale white light rises into the nighttime sky above Rumor Woods, vanishing from sight a heartbeat later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleetingly, the black unicorn gazes at Kothos with what can only be described as a bemused yet knowing expression as he touches his a horn to his forehead.  Kothos instantly slips to the ground in a deep slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill whistle precedes a large *BOOM* as glittering points of bright light erupt in the nighttime sky.  A scintillating bright pony trots across a luminous green field before slowly winking out, bits of ash floating towards the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn smiles as she gives her charger a gentle nudge with the heel of her boot. The charger rears up on its hind legs and whinnies.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn issues some commands to a rose-sheened charger, and she bobs her head up and down in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Securing her right foot in the saddle&#039;s stirrup, Jastalyn twists her body back and to the left, gliding her left leg over the backside of her rose-sheened charger as she gracefully dismounts and detaches some star-patterned reins from her charger&#039;s bridle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In the name of Oleani, may you carry forward the spirit of love in every step you take, in every word you speak, and in every kindness you offer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn recites softly:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;May compassion guide your path, and may you always find beauty in even the gentlest moments.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Jastalyn gently taps the blush rose charm attached to her silver charm bracelet.  An array of platinum sparks ripples over its surface before settling into a tiny banner of light, the wavering image of a cresting Oleani symbol set into its rippling surface in hues of roseate.  It shimmers for a brief second before fading into a spray of dying platinum and roseate motes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Jastalyn and her charger bow low in unison towards the judges.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Jastalyn and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges deliberate, this will be the last call for entrants!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;A good time for another prize!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni places a mechanical electrum beetle on the palm of her hand and cranks some shifting urnon gears on its thorax.  The beetle begins gyrating in a circle, some glowing veniom appendages moving rapidly into a blur of motion.  It comes to a stop, buzzing a pair of glass-tiled wings at Kothos!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking formally to Perigourd, you say, &amp;quot;We have concluded our discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And our final entrant for the evening, the magnificent Lady Brigit upon their true and faithful Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Extending his front leg forward in a graceful motion, the hart lowers himself slightly, allowing Brigit to fasten a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading onto his neck.  With a quick motion, she throws one leg across his back as he straightens, and Brigit settles into a comfortable position astride his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit gazes across the crowd from her perch.)&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit shifts her weight slightly backward and makes a small click with her tongue.  A pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit reaches down and gives a pristine white hart a playful pinch on his ear.  He goes stock still for a moment, then quick as a flash, he darts his head back and catches her ankle between his teeth, nipping lightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit hisses a warning between her teeth, and a pristine white hart tenses, lowering his head slightly and clenching his muscles, preparing to lunge.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit stops and listens to a buzzing bee.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit lowers her head slightly and places a hand atop a pristine white hart.  Brigit starts to make a low growling noise deep in her throat, and after a moment, he begins to growl along, his muscles bunching beneath her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The hart is wearing a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading, some twisted ebon silk ribbons trailing across his antlers, and a knitted honeycomb-patterned pale gold ruhani wool blanket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Brigit laughs at Frost&#039;s imitation of a bear.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans far back, and a pristine white hart rears up beneath her as she grips tightly to his sides with her legs.  He paws at the air once, then twice, his head thrown back in an effort to maintain his balance, before allowing himself to fall back to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans forward and plants a light smooch between a pristine white hart&#039;s ears and he grunt softly in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit leans slightly to her right atop a pristine white hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brigit climbs down from a pristine white hart neck and carefully detaches a white lamb&#039;s wool halter strap stitched with emerald threading from him.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit removes a wild carrot from in her tapestry-weave backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
Sniffing curiously at the wild carrot in Brigit&#039;s palm, a pristine white hart opens his mouth around the offering and snatches it out of her hand, relishing the treat with slow bites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit grabs the hide on both sides of a pristine white hart&#039;s neck and gives him a friendly shake.  He opens his mouth and lets his tongue loll out slightly as he tosses his head in time with the motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jarnsaixa says, &amp;quot;A very majestic beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Brigit gently pushes down on a pristine white hart&#039;s forehead and makes a small click with her tongue.  Eyeing her carefully, a majestic pristine white hart slowly leans backwards, lowering himself to the ground in a graceful bow before rising up once more.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd points his silver hand mortar at Brigit and pulls down its lever, causing an explosion of violet essence dust to sparkle around her in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We will await the judges final judging and overall scores.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missoni recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;While the judges tally their scores, a final door prize! Some quite lucky socks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;During this time I&#039;d invite everyone to keep their eyes and ears open as we continue to celebrate the Silver Gryphons thirtieeth year anniversary throughout the year with an event each month. We are very grateful for all those who have come to support us and to enjoy the evening with us.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And with that the judges have finished conferring and come to their decision.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;With such wonderful performances, we will also be awarding a 4th place prize this evening as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In 4th place, we have the wonderful Lady Brigit and her hart Frost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In third place we have Giogionni and his tumultous steed Nyx!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;In second place...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We have the wonderful Jastalyn and her delightful charger Rosie!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perigourd recites:&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And in first place we have the resilient and two time competitor Ifanna Aynesworth upon Goldberry!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir [[Maldon Wellesbourne]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021.

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Guarrin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Giantman|Kindred]] [[warrior]] and member of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] hailing from the [[Dragonspine | Dragonspine Mountains]]. He is active in [[Solhaven]], [[Landing]] and elsewhere across the continent of [[Elanith]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
Born upon the slopes of the [[Dragonspine Mountains]], Guarrin was raised amongst the T&#039;Kirem clan. As is common with many of his clan, once he passed the trials of his youth, he ventured down the slopes and into the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] where he quickly found work as a mercenary and guard for several merchants and lesser nobles. During his early travels, he also spent time visiting other clans, especially the [[Araime Sun Clan]] and [[Grishknel Wolf Clan]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his time with the [[Araime Sun Clan]], he had his first encounter with Krolvin, setting the stage for many upcoming battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After traveling through the Empire, he eventually found himself at the frontier town of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] where he joined the [[Order of Voln]] after meeting Sir Shirkon, Dame Evia, Sir Morgiest, Sir Cryheart, and Sir Geijon.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Sir Geijon extended an invitation to join the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]]. His first task as a squire was to reform and lead the Protectors of the Citadel, an assignment he would perform for the next several years through the [[Griffin Sword War]] and [[War of Nations]]. Both events would change Guarrin significantly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to his home for a time, and renewing his ancestral obligation to the [[Guardians of Sunfist]], Guarrin returned to Sol Haven and defended the city during the [[Solhaven Cataclysm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the events of the Cataclysm, Guarrin again spent some time traveling the Empire before returning to the highlands of the Dragonspine, and his home amongst the T&#039;kirem. After several years of living amongst his people once again, he returned to the lowlands of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing to fulfill his Oath and obligation to the Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Significant Events===&lt;br /&gt;
Champion and/or Master of multiple events at the [[Highman Games 2010]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elected Leader of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] in 5122-5125.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guarrin was knighted by Baron [[Dunrith Malwind]] in Charlatos of 5122.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Guarrin.jpg|thumb|Guarrin, illustrated by Andre Ihl]] &lt;br /&gt;
:You see Sir Guarrin Hjeldin the Knight-Errant.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Giantman of the T&#039;Kirem.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is of a towering height.  He appears to be full grown.  He has deeply-set piercing steel grey eyes and pale skin.  He has very long, dark blonde hair worn in a trio of thick, interwoven braided twists across the top of his head with the sides shaved close to the scalp. &lt;br /&gt;
:He has a weathered face, a crooked nose and a neatly trimmed, full beard gathered into a single glossy braid with a curled tip.  He has a thin, faded scar across the front of his neck, a long diagonal scar running across his left eye from brow to cheek, and broad shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
:He has an ebon and ivory skeletal gryphon tattoo on his arm, and a weaving Saramar runes tattoo on his arm.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a hammered vultite brooch, a fur-lined iron boar hide cloak, a light linen tunic, a leather swordbelt, a lightweight hunter tartan great-kilt with a long swathe pinned at the left shoulder, some pointille steel-plated sabatons, and a pair of golden spurs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;

        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2025.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon is the first [[MHO]] recognized and pre-dated the system. The group was given a choice to join as an organization or continue outside of it. They are based in [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and have a Holding in the [[Lysierian Hills]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2023.&lt;br /&gt;

==Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
The Oath of the Order&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Aid Those Who Are In Need, If Their Cause Is Just.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Serve With Honor, By Example And By Deed. ”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of the Order==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of the Silver Gryphon was founded in the winter of 5095 by a Jantalarian knight named Sir Maldon Wellesbourne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/About/Founding.php/ Information regarding the Order&#039;s founding].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed within a ruby red circle is a majestic silver gryphon on a field of black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Location==&lt;br /&gt;
The Holding for the Order of the Silver Gryphon is located in the [[Smokey Caverns | Lysierian hills]] above the trails from the [[Old Mine Road]]. It was originally an abandoned holding for a knight from Jantalar named Sir Trevar who was murdered at the location. It was reclaimed by Sir Maldon Wellsbourne and eventually rehabilitated by the members of the Order. It pre-dates [[MHO]] structures, but was absorbed into that system when it was implemented and follows similar rules presently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on room limits the catacombs and test Forge were locked. GMs or special events occasionally will grant access and open them for tours. During the War with [[Jantalar]] when the Holding was overtaken and [[Raznel]] conducted experiments below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gsgryphons.net/GreatHall/Library/HoldingDiscovery.php The log of the discovery of the Holding can be found here.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meetings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regular meetings are held on alternate Sundays at 9:00 p.m. EST., at the Order Holding. A schedule is posted for the year and distributed to members and squires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leadership &amp;amp; Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The Order is led democratically. Maldon along with Brinn and Deavon chaired meetings for the first three years before in 1998 an election component with a leader, followed by a first and a Council (comprised of 3 members and an alternate) formally led the group along with castellan, herald, scribe, and master of squires to manage affairs or specialized task groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Brinn Mithrandir|Sir Brinn Mithrandir]] was the first formal leader of the Order although Sir Hyoko was initially elected to the post in 1998/99. Sir Kinshack was elected leader in 2004 during the 2nd Griffin Sword War and Sir [[Cryheart (prime)|Cryheart]] led the Order from 2005 to 2015. Sir [[Geijon]] served as leader from 2016 through 2021. Sir [[Guarrin]] was elected leader in 2022-2023.&lt;br /&gt;

==Ode to the Gryphons==&lt;br /&gt;
In the winter of 5122, Lady [[Regwen]] performed the following song for the Order at the Holding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Up in the hills above the mining road,&lt;br /&gt;
     Lies the Knightly Order, Silver Gryphon&#039;s hold.&lt;br /&gt;
     A fortress grand, where knights make their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
     Knights brave and bold, who&#039;s tales are forever told.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen forcefully crosses one arm over her brigandine armor and offers a formal bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen plucks her instrument&#039;s lower strings, adding a driving bass foundation to the melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;For their valor and courage they ask no fee.&lt;br /&gt;
     Legendary battles fought with daring feats,&lt;br /&gt;
     For the good of all. That&#039;s what is key.&lt;br /&gt;
     Sacrifices they make for you and for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With nimble fingers, Regwen adds a contrasting countermelody to her song, skillfully creating a dramatic effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;The Coats-of-arms are hung high in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
     To honor the knights who serve the barony.&lt;br /&gt;
     Flowing banners of silk, every color and ilk,&lt;br /&gt;
     A tribute to their vows taken on bended knee.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen accentuates her song with emphatic strums, adding to the intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings powerfully:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Preserving historical lore of the Landing town.&lt;br /&gt;
     Crafting and forging help here can also be found.&lt;br /&gt;
     To promote the chivalric ideals, wearing a bracer as a seal.&lt;br /&gt;
     There is always friendship when they are around.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen bridges her song into a new key, taking it to new heights of intensity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen sings confidently:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They defend our town, both home and heath.&lt;br /&gt;
     They provide aid to those with a just need.&lt;br /&gt;
     They help all innocents,&lt;br /&gt;
        And protect the defenseless.&lt;br /&gt;
     They serve with honor,&lt;br /&gt;
        And by exemplary deed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a final dramatic flourish, Regwen takes her fingers from the strings, letting the notes fade into a profound silence.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
