Malcolm complained that this one was full of tongue-twisters, but I'm really sorry-not sorry :-) Although honestly, I should have remembered I did this to the herald and offered to read it myself.
Forasmuch the royal highness of our splendid progenitors Akbar and Khadijah, in their abundant munificence, caused the Order of the Silver Crescent to be created and constituted into law; and forasmuch as the said Order has put rightful petition before Us to add Brennan MacFergus to their number; and forasmuch as We have, from our own certain knowledge, discerned much good, great and substantial benefit to the Realm from the deeds and labors of the said Brennan; Therefore, We, Ivan and Matilde, Tsar and Tsaritsa, with our especial grace and favor, do now give, grant and confirm unto our servant Brennan the status, repute and renown of a member of the aforenamed Order, with all rights, privileges, freedoms, liberties, emoluments, royalties and commodities appertaining thereunto. That this our gift may remain unshaken by any sinister persecution, we have caused this charter to be written and validated by the protection of our signatures.
And now updated to add an image of the scroll itself, with the initial cadell by Mistress Elizabeth Elenore Lovell and the calligraphy by the newly-minted Mistress Tola knytr!
