This is the newest fighting award for Ansteorra.  It is a grant level
award for Excellence in fighting.

Mistress Rayah as a member of the order of the Centurions of the Sable
Star and a friend of the person who made the original charter (Misstress
Anastacia Maria Travarra) I will tell you that the awards have in the
past been painted with the likeness of the recipient.  From the long
golden hair of Tarl, to the grin of Alrek, to the rosey cheeks of
Alicia, the painter has tried to capture the recipient's likeness (mine
even has striped tights and ruffs).  If you know a member of the order
who does not have a scroll yet...there are lots who don't...I am sure
they would love for you to paint them one

Thank you,

Sir Alrek Kanin
Order of the Centurions of the Sable Star of Ansteorra
