We, Etain and Valfreya King and Queen of
Ealdormere do agree with wise counsel that TSivia bas Tamara v’Amberview has
for some time been displaying those noble virtues accustomed to be observed in
companions of Our faithful and respected Order of the Pelican. This lady espouses the virtue of Faith
through her unbroken oaths, seeking the right and good in all. She espouses
Hope through her example and her care for the future of the Kingdom. She
espouses Charity in her generous nature and caring spirit for all those in
need. She espouses Fortitude through strength of character and action, and
Justice through striving to do what is right. She espouses Temperance by
seeking the way of moderation, and Prudence through her thought and deeds,
governed by wisdom. As the Pelican
nourishes her young with her blood through self-sacrifice, so has Tsivia served
her Crown and Kingdom. It has been remarked that this lady’s steps should be
imitated; thus We are further encouraged to recognize her as a Companion of Our
Order of the Pelican. She shall agree to observe the statutes, laws, privileges
and liberties of this noble Order in good faith. We also require that she will
uphold the honour of Our kingdom, and will counsel the Crown in things lawful
and honest. In return this Mistress of the Pelican shall have and possess, now
and hereafter all honors, tokens, titles, burdens and privileges afforded to
one of such station, including these Arms by Letters Patent as previously
conferred which she may freely and without impediment carry with her both
coming and going, throughout all lands. Moreover we will and decree that these
things made known on this seventh day of March anno Societatis forty three in
Our Shire of Trinovantia Nova be recorded by Our Heralds so that all may know
of this worthy accomplishment. As witness our hands and seal.
By Magistra Nicolaa de Bracton
