Within these lands of Northshield are many good gentles of talent and skill.  When these talents and skills are shared with others, our Principality is made richer.  It is in recognition of these deeds that we Giulia, Princess of Northshield, patroness of the arts and sciences, by the grace of Hrodir, Our Prince do wish to invite Cianna Karleen into Our Order of the Aegis, for her skill in cordial making.  We hereby extend all rights and responsibilities attendant upon elevation to this rank including the right to bear the badge of the Order.  Done by Our hands this tenth day of July, A.S. XXXIX at Warriors and Warlords XI.
