ALTERNATIVE:

In the shadowy depths, where the light grows dim and the pressure is great, the Sea Dragon holds its domain. Great and powerful, the Sea Dragon rises from the abyss a harbinger of its kind and its arte. The Sea Dragons found on Atlantia's waters consistently rise above the tide, providing protection to her abounding subjects, as well as a Warning to all those that would bring discontent upon our shores. Let all know that <name> is such a protector: skilled and ever prepared to remind our foes that Atlantia is a kingdom of the Sea, and there be Dragons Here. We <name> and <name>, Rex and Regina Atlantiae, do hereby induct <name> into Our Order of the Sea Dragon. We further confer upon [him/her] all the honours, privileges, and responsibilities inherent there unto. (In recognition of this do We Award <name> the sole right to bear without hinderance these arms to wit: <blazon>.)

ALTERNATIVE:

Sea Dragons slice through the water leaving behind waves of froth in their wake. Atlantia’s rapier fighters slice through the enemy swiftly and deadly with power and might, leaving behind the defeated enemy. One such fighter is <name> who has struck terror in the hearts of those who oppose [him/her]. Strong of battle, swift in parry and a good dresser as well, <name> is worthy of recognition. Therefore do we <name> & <name> King and Queen of Atlantia induct [him/her] into our Order of the Sea Dragon for [he/she] has proved as mighty as the Dragon and as Strong as the Sea. (Furthermore we do raise [him/her] to the ranks of nobility and Award [him/her] Arms, to wit: <blazon>).

ALTERNATIVE:

The fighter stands upon the field. He takes the measure of his opponent. Swift and sure he begins the bout. His guard is sure, his tempo on target. Sure of blade and keen of wit, Atlantia’s rapier fighter stands out among the crowd. One such has come to the notice of the Crown. Therefore do we <name> & <name> King and Queen of Atlantia acknowledge the skill of <name> upon the rapier field and induct [him/her] into our Order of the Sea Dragon. May [his/her] sword continue to strike with surety and strength. (Furthermore we do raise [him/her] to the ranks of nobility and Award [him /her] Arms, to wit: <blazon>). .
