To all who shall see these presents, greetings:

Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity and abilities of Patchiz of Clew, I do hereby appoint this fighter a Basic Tabard holder in the Belegarth Realm of An Tir Dearg to rank as such from the 3rd day of February, Two Thousand Twelve.

This member 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 this Appointee is 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.

Let's give a hearty huzzah to Patchiz for a job well done!

The tabard trial is no cake walk, and she knocked it out of the ball park. No only did she pass her knowledge of the Book of War test with gusto, but she fought with remarkable tenacity in the combat trials against her peers. I will never forget her clinging to the spear and being dragged across the field, with two stabbed legs, pulling herself up the shaft to kill Zach. Additionally, Patchiz was the first guinea pig of the Realm's new weapons checking test requirement and she performed well and helped us immensely in working the kinks out of the new regimen. The dedication of time, sweat, blood, and money to make her 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.

This woman has been weighed and measured, and her mettle tested. We welcome Patchiz of Clew into the ranks of the Basic Tabard holder as a full fledged member of the Realm of An Tir Dearg. Please congratulate her when you next see her and help guide and support her as she tests her footing in this era of reaffirmed and new found abilities, responsibility, leadership, and trust.
