Illumination & Calligraphy by TH Lady Ana Yanka. Wording by TH Lord Dietrich von Sachsen. Faux-Cyrillic script. Russian manuscripts were often based on Byzantine manuscripts. Based on a page from the Amida Gospels, Walters Art Museum, Ms W.541, fol. 113r (https://www.flickr.com/.../57039.../in/set-72157626684143896). Wording based on the Declaration of Arbroath. To the most Learned and Gracious Sciath, by the will of the Lupine Crown Baroness of Rising Waters and Defender of the Niagara, her humble and devout kinsmen and kinswomen Eithne, Seneschal and Marshal of the Arte of Thrown Weaponry; Aidan, Exchequer and Captain of Archers; Muirghein, Chatelaine; Rose, Chronicler; Seamus, Pursuivant; Amelye, Minister of the Arts and Sciences; Berenger, Captain of Foot; Jessica, Marshal of the Arte of Defense; and Neala, Deputy of Alle Things; and the other lords, ladies, and freeholders and the whole community of the realm of Trinovantia Nova send all manner of filial reverence, with devotion and noble wishing. Most Noble Baroness, we know from the chronicles and books of the ancients that we find amongst other goodly lands our own, Trinovantia Nova, has been graced with renown and the goodwill of many peoples. It journeyed from the heart of Ealdormere by way of Septentria and it dwelt for a long course of time in Ramshaven, but never could it be diminished by any people. Thence it came, thirty-five years after the first King of the West, to its home in the Forest of Trinovantia, where it still remains to this day. Of the high qualities and merits of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, shine forth clearly enough from this: that the most diligent and noble line of those who sit upon the High Seats over the demesne of the Chalice called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the Kingdom, almost the first amongst their friends and kin. Most Learned Baroness, you and your predecessors gave careful heed to these things and strengthened this same shire and people with many favours and numerous privileges; and to that, we beseech your Excellency with our most earnest wishes and supplicant hearts, inasmuch as you will in your sincerity and goodness, accept our gratitude and in so doing let us name you, and your people, as Friends of Trinovantia Nova. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor favours that we do this, but for honour alone, which no honest shireling gives up but with life itself. May the Most High preserve you in happiness and health for many days to come; and inspire us all with courage and bring our endevours to fruition. Given at our 20th Celebration of our Shire, in Trinovantia Nova on the ninth day of the month of May in the year of the society fifty-five and the second month of the reign our King Rattanicus and our Queen Isabel.

The People of Ealdormere say three things of Emer nic Aiden: She is a defender of the meek, the hungry, and the unseen. She seeks justice, truth, and love. She has persisted through Rhiannon's trials of motherhood, Manawydan's trials of poverty, and the theft of her Selkie skin. The Bards of Ealdormere say three things of Emer nic Aiden: She knows well the answer to three riddles: who breathes dreams; who hears the lost music; who knows the riddle of the ring. Her voice and song underpin our traditions. She is a true Bard of the North. Rattanicus King and Isabel Queen of Ealdormere say three things of Emer nic Aiden: She knows well three crafts: bard-craft, needle-craft, and weave-craft. Her wisdom and honor enrich the Kingdom of Ealdormere. She is a true Mistress of the Laurel. So it was said and done upon the Fourth Day of December, in the Year of the Society LVI, at the Feast of Wassail. Wording by Ollamh Emer ingen Uí Áedán.
