Their Majesties invited the Companions of the Most Noble Order of the  
Pelican to attend Them, and asked the order whether they had had  
words with an individual, as They had directed.  The Order having  
answered affirmatively, and Their Majesties and the Order being in  
agreement regarding the individual's accomplishments, Their Majesties  
requested the attendance of Master Creature Twyne Dragon.  Their  
Majesties asked Master Creature whether he would accept elevation to  
said Order, and receiving Creature's assent, asked to hear from  
others.  After hearing the words of Their Excellencies, Judith of  
Kirtland and Barak Elandris Bear the Wallsbane; Sir Ængus Mac Bain;  
Sir Kadan Chakhilghan; Master Alastar Scott MacCrummin; Mistress  
Aleea Bagah; Mistress Leonora of the Willows; Her Excellency, Arianna  
of Wynthrope; and Mistress Karana Yabokchi, and being greatly pleased  
with all They had heard, Their Majesties again asked Creature if it  
was his wish to continue with his elevation.  Having again received  
Creature's assent, They called for the Ancestral Medallion of the  
Pelicans of Æthelmearc, presented by Maestra Giulietta da Venezia as  
well as a personal medallion presented by Lady Chi an Ling, Master  
Creature's lady wife.  Their Majesties also called for a mantle,  
whereupon a most wondrous hood in the form of a fish, made by the  
hand of Lady Brianna Eileen Taithlach,  made its appearance, to the  
delight of Their Majesties and the assembled populace.  In  
recognition of the fact that there might be occasions for which the  
fish-hood was not appropriate, a second, more formal hood was also  
presented.  Their Majesties then created Creature Twyne Dragon a  
Companion of the Most Noble Order of the pelican, and Master Creature  
reaffirmed his pledge of service to Their Majesties and the Kingdom.   
Scroll by Master Jonathan Blaecstan.

The Court of Their Majesties was closed.
