Ryan's Pelican Scroll

[lumineaux]

Andreas the Fourth, King of the East, always august, and Gabriella the Second, Queen; as a perpetual memorial of this matter. Inasmuch as We, through the office by which We possess the imperial dignity, are singularly empowered to recognize the good, worthy and notable works of Our subjects by bestowing upon them certain honors, and inasmuch as the labors of our subject Ríán Mac Faoitigh, known by some as Ryan McWhyte, as archer, archery marshal, Central Region Archery Commander, youth marshal, Queen’s guard and herald have aided and sustained this, our glorious East Kingdom, and inasmuch as persons of good character and noble rank have attested to the qualities and virtues of the said Ríán, We do now promulgate, decree and recommended for ratification the present charter. We decree, and, by the present imperial and ever valid edict, do sanction of certain knowledge and from the plenitude of the imperial power: that Ríán Mac Faoitigh be and hereby is elevated, endowed and inducted into the Order of the Pelican and shall henceforth enjoy such rights, privileges, duties, as attend thereon. We decree moreover and command that the said Ríán be and hereby is invested with Arms by letters patent, to wit: Sable, a pale counter-ermine fimbriated between in chief two lozenges argent. This we have done in our solemn court at River War, in the Barony of Iron Bog, amid a numerous multitude of princes, counts, barons, magnates, nobles and citizens; after mature deliberation, from the fullness of our imperial power; sitting on the throne of our imperial majesty, adorned with the imperial bands, insignia and diadem; in the year of our Society XLIV, upon the 26th day of September.

Based on the Golden Bull of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor

"Inasmuch as We, through the office by which We possess the imperial dignity"

I will never be able to forget this particular line, right as the silly Pelican hat was placed on his head....

Followed by some giggling fits at "after mature deliberation,".


Just the same, thank you so much for doing the words on his scroll. I don't think wild horses could have held you back from doing it. :)

Yay! I love your words and the way you steal words, but I suspect you know that already.

Odd. The number of comments says 4 and I was seeing 3 just then.

And I have not been drinking anything other than Starbucks and water...

It's broken. I tried to post my comment. It said 3, but my comment wasn't there. So I posted my comment again. Then it said 4, but there was still only one copy of my comment (that I could see, anyway). I wonder if lumineaux saw two emails about it (if she has that set up) or one.

This happened to me once before in someone else's journal too. I should probably file a bug report, but as of now, I'm too lazy ;)
