To all who shall see these presents, greeting:

Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity and abilities of Ogre and Bear, I do hereby appoint these men Basic Tabard holders in the Belegarth Realm of An Tir Dearg to rank as such from the 3rd day of August, Two Thousand Eleven.

These members will therefore carefully and diligently discharge the duties of the grade to which appointed by doing and performing all manner of things thereunto pertaining. And I do strictly charge and require all personnel of lesser grade to render obedience to appropriate orders, instruction, and safety announcements. And these Appointees are to observe and follow such orders and directives, from time to time, as may be given by Superiors acting according to the rules and articles governing the discipline of the Belegarth Realm of An Tir Dearg.

Given under my hand at Washington, UT this 3rd day of August, in the year of our Lord Two Thousand Eleven.

Let's give a hearty huzzah to Ogre and Bear for a job well done!

The tabard trial is no cake walk, and these men knocked it out of the ball park. No only did they pass their knowledge of the Book of War test with gusto, but they dominated the combat trials against their peers. The dedication of time, sweat, blood, and money to make their own weapons and garb,to show up regularly at practice, and to study required knowledge is a testament to their character and abilities.

Earning this title comes with much well deserved pride and is reflected by wearing the outer symbol of this status: the Basic Realm Tabard. But with status comes responsibility - responsibility to the Realm to maintain a safe fighting field, to teach newcomers our rules and culture compassionately, and to shoulder the task of heralding and correcting so that everyone may enjoy themselves on an honorable field.

These men been weighed and measured, and their mettle tested. We welcome both Ogre and Bear into the ranks of the Basic Tabard holders as full fledged members of the Realm of An Tir Dearg. Please congratulate them when you next see them and help guide and support them as they test their footing in this era of reaffirmed and new found abilities, responsibility, leadership, and trust.
