The Order of Chiron

At the Crown's pleasure prior to the ceremony the herald shall assemble the Companions of the Order.

HERALD

At this time, Their Majesties summon the presence of all members of the Order of Chiron.

As the members of the order assemble, the herald continues.

The art of archery is an ancient one, and many are its practitioners. Among them are those who combine great skill with the bow with exceptional manner and deportment, thereby promoting honor and chivalry in this Our Kingdom; these archers are especially deserving of reward.

From the past we draw the example of Chiron the Centaur, teacher of heroes and healers, who at his death was set in the heavens where we see him to this day as a centaur with drawn bow, in the constellation men call Sagittarius.

Thus was created the Order of Chiron, to honor those whose skill with the bow is exceptional, and is equally matched by their gentle deportment and manner. This order bears with it a Grant of Arms and ranks equally in precedence with all other Grant-bearing Orders of Caid.

At this time Their Majesties summon N. to present himself/herself before the Throne of Caid.

Promissory:

N., well pleased by your skill at archery, and by your courteous demeanor, We are moved to admit you to the Right Noble Order of Chiron.

By Our hand this (n)th day of (month), Anno Societatis (year).

N., Rex Caidis, N., Regina Caidis.
