Award of the Elephants Heart

Awarded to Kaylee of Cynnabar (modernly known as Kaylee Monarch)

By the Barony of Cynnabar on 2018-12-02

We, Kasha and Ermenrich, know
How Kayley’s fame and honor grow.
She does not flee from those in need,
But gives them food and helpful deeds;
She laughs to scorn not old nor young,
Is of good bearing and good tongue,
And seeing what We most need done
Herself thereto sets at a run,
For well she knows it’s true and right
That many hands make work most light.
As her a worthy one We deem,
She shall receive with Our esteem
Our Elephants Heart from Our own hand,
The which no one shall countermand.
