Order of Saint Barbara of Cynnabar
Awarded to Temur
By the Barony of Cynnabar on 2019-06-01
You, Temur, cast off onto the ground
The heavy wood that was on Our neck.
You removed the pile of wood
That was at Our collar.
Like rats
We shall gather with each other;
Like black crows
We shall scoop up with each other
Whatever is outside.
Like a windbreak of felt
We shall try together with each other
To protect you.
Like a windbreak of felt
We shall try together with each other
To shield your yurt.
Thus We, Ermenrich and Kasha, call you a friend of Our people, of the Order of Saint Barbara of Cynnabar.
Let none countermand Our words.
