Text: Know by these presents that We, King Cuan VII and Signy, Our Dread Queen, do recognize and raise up for special recognition the works of Our subject: Ginevra Fiammetta di Silvestri.
​
She has labored to ensure, without asking for recognition or recompense, and only reluctantly accepting payment for fabric and notions, that no less than three generations of the Atlantian Royal Family (so far) may appear before the Kingdom and the Knowne World dressed and accoutered as before the Crowned Heads of the Best Kingdom of the World!
​
There, with the concurrance of William and Alyna, and Dietrich and
Thora, do We name her a Baroness of Our Court, and Grant her Arms to be borne without let or hindrance. To wit: Per pale azure and vert, in saltire an arrow inverted and a needle inverted, and on a chief argent three closed books palewise sable. Further do We augment her Arms and authorize Our Triton Principal Herald to register the following augmentation: A golden scissorts in such position as may best suit Our Loyal Subject.
Done by Our Hands this twenty-seventh day of May, Anno Societas LII being two thousand seventeen Gregorian, at Ruby Joust in Our Barony of Caer Mear.
