Award of the Elephants Heart

Awarded to Ravenna

By the Barony of Cynnabar on 2018-08-08

For there is in each person the bitter and the salt, the sweet and the acid, the sour and the insipid, and a multitude of other things having all sorts of powers. These powers, when all mixed and mingled up with one another, are beneficial; but when any of them is separate and stands by itself, then it can do no good.

Likewise, the various person of Our Barony, with their sundry talents and characters, are increased in health and strength by the addition of those who bring new and admirable qualities.

Therefore We, Kasha and Ermenrich of Cynnabar, recognize Ravenna as a member of Our Barony and grant her Our Award of the Elephant’s Heart. Let none countermand Our words.
