This was another favorite of mine for a friend with a roman persona. Based on this and the fact is for the armiger Archery award I looked to the Aeneid for inspiration. This is what I came up with:


Hear, O Clarice della Luna most worthy to be praised, You, and the hard fate of your trials , and your most noble deeds, do Ozzur Rex, and Fortune Regina say shall not pass In silence, if an act so great as yours shall be believed by any future age!

Know of the daughter of Apollo Aegletes, prowess on the archery range, her work marshaling in the Queen’s own home Shire of Quintavia, and the mentoring of new folks with a ready smile.

Wherever Fate may lead us, whether on or backward, let us follow. Whatsoever occurs, all Fortune must be overcome By endurance, with none so ascendant as our servant Clarice, and as such do We induct her into the Order of the Apollo’s Arrow.

And so declaring, We do set below our ensigns manual for those whose memory is less Eidetic than Clarice , upon the 14th day of September in the fifty Fourth year of the Society in our fair Barony of Carolingia.

Words by Matthias Grunwald,  Inspired by the Aeneid


A couple of personalization “the hard fate of your trials” was in reference to some sad news with pets. “Aegletes” is a surname for Apollo that generally refers to radiant/bright. Clarice has one of the brightest smiles that I know of.
