Their Majesties invited Mistress Karana Yabokchi to attend Them,
whereupon (to nobody's surprise), she offered them a plate of
culinary delicacies. She also asked whether They had had any word
of another gentle famed for culinary delicacies; Their Majesties
noted that They hoped to have word soon.
Their Majesties summoned Master Alastar Scott MacCrummin into
Their Presence, and asked whether he had taken counsel of the
Companions of the Most Noble Order of the Pelican, as They had
instructed some time ago. Master Alastar replied that he
had taken such counsel and would be pleased to accede to Their
Majesties' wishes and proceed with elevation to such Order.
Their Majesties then called forth the Companions of the Most
Noble Order of the Pelican, and as is customary, asked to hear
words concerning Master Alastar. Having heard from His
Excellency, Syr Bera the Wallsbane; Sir Kadan Chakhilgan ger on
Echen; Master Creature Twyne Dragon; Mistress She'erah bat
Shlomo; and Her Excellency, Judith of Kirtland, Their Majesties
declared Themselves pleased with all They had heard, and asked
that Alastar be invested with regalia appropriate to his new
station. Their Majesties called for a cloak, placed about
Alastar's shoulders by his lady wife, THLady Myfanwy ferch
Rhiannon, and noted that several medallions were present:
the Ancestral Medallion of AEthelmearc, presented by Master
Creature Twyne Dragon; the medallion of Master Johan von
Traubenberg, who had long argued with Alastar over the virtues of
Pelican kitchens vs. Laurel kitchens, presented by his lady wife,
Her Excellency, Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope; and a medallion
made specially for Alastar by the hand of Her Excellency,
Mistress Aleea Bagah. Their Majesties then received Alastar's
Oath of Fealty, and presented him to the assembled
populace. Promissory scroll by Her Excellency, Mistress
Graidhne ni Ruaidh.
Their Majesties asked to have words with Mistress Amaryllis
Coleman. They noted with praise not only her many years of
clothing the populace, but also her years of teaching others the
tailor's and costumer's arts, and her happy talent for turning
shapeless piles of cloth into wondrous forms of clothing.
They then summoned the Companions of the Most Noble Order of the
Laurel, and instructed Amaryllis to take counsel of them, that
she might return before Their successors, Rurik and Angelik, at
the AEthelmearc 10th Year Celebration, there to answer the
question whether she will accept elevation to said Order.
