Award of the Elephants Heart

Awarded to Charles Gotzfürboter (modernly known as Hunt Charles French)

By the Barony of Cynnabar on 2018-12-02

Kasha and Ermenrich, etc., to the judges, bailiffs, and all authorities of the Barony: With the favor of Their Royal Majesties, to Whom We attribute all good deeds done by Us, We wish that Charles Gotzfurboter, made proficient by study and practice, will become useful to Us, for the administration of Justice and of the laws.

We have therefore decided that We will allow him to live in a place where everything is in abundance, where the customs of everyone are affable, and where one can easily transport by sea or land what is necessary to human life. We will free him from many labors, and from the necessity of long trips. The best house will be given to him, and his rent will be at most two ounces of gold. And We will grant to him Our Award of the Elephants Heart.

We herewith order all of you to let these things be known to all and everywhere.
Let none countermand Our words.
