One of three New Orders in the East Kingdom - "Order of the Gawain"



Order of Gawain - This is an Order of Honor, which means it doesn't carry an AOA, and ranks the same as a QOC, Burdened Tyger, Troubadour, Terpsichore, Tygers Cub. This is an award for Youth, in all of the combat disciplines - youth combat, archery, equestrian, thrown weapons, or anything else that kids can do in a martial area. The proposed badge is a green garter with a gold star on the tab end. I tried to download a picture, but I'm too much of a computer idiot to have done it right. If you've seen the badge of chivalry (white belt looped around in a circle with the belt end hanging down) then it's the same thing only green with a gold star. The kids will be given an actual green garter to wear on their arms.

Words:
Be it known unto all that this dedicated and courteous gentle serves Our Kingdom well.

A founding fighter in his shire’s Youth Combat program, Ajax of Panther Vale not only constructed his own fighting kit but assists others in becoming fully ready for the list field. He diligently attends fighter practice and is a valuable part of demos.

For this and more, We, Gryffith, mighty king of these Eastern Lands, and Aikaterine, beautiful and gracious queen, do recognize his contributions to Our future warriors and induct him into the Order of the Gawain.

Done this 26th Day of May, AS XLII, at Panteria XII in Our fair Shire of Panther Vale.
