Their Majesties invited the Companions of the Most Noble Order of
the Pelican to attend Them, and asked the order whether they had
had words with an individual, as They had directed. The
Order having answered affirmatively, and Their Majesties and the
Order being in agreement regarding the individual's
accomplishments, Their Majesties requested the attendance of
Master Creature Twyne Dragon. Their Majesties asked Master
Creature whether he would accept elevation to said Order, and
receiving Creature's assent, asked to hear from others.

called for the Ancestral Medallion of the Pelicans of

for a mantle, whereupon a most wondrous hood in the form of a
fish, made by the hand of Lady Brianna Eileen Taithlach,
made its appearance, to the delight of Their Majesties and the
assembled populace. In recognition of the fact that there
might be occasions for which the fish-hood was not appropriate, a
second, more formal hood was also presented. Their
Majesties then created Creature Twyne Dragon a Companion of the
Most Noble Order of the pelican, and Master Creature reaffirmed
his pledge of service to Their Majesties and the Kingdom.
