A squall came over the river
When the moon was but a sliver
As if Andalusia weeping
Sent her tears to river sleeping
Each bead of shimmering water
The land’s love of golden daughter

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1d2129; display: block; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Asking all from Mecca to here
To view bright pearl of Calontir

Alqsar gardens in their splendor
Crave her steps so soft and tender
The elegance that in palace dwells
Envies her pace swift as gazelles
Arches and columns sadly stand
Missing those adorned by her hand

They ask caliph to lend his ear
Hear of bright pearl of Calontir

Through flowing pines a wind so soft
Calls those Allah has held aloft
Matsu Caliph the falcon’s sword
With Elena Calipha’s true accord
Ask Their lords and ladies renowned
To list words of justice profound

Spoken by crafters of things so dear
Attest well bright pearl of Calontir

Garlands of laurels she has earned
With flowing skills both taught and learned
We cannot list the gifts bestowed
As lovely as December’s snow
She has increased your kingdom’s worth
As though she brought heaven to earth

They now pronounce for all to hear
Reward due bright pearl of Calontir

Caliph and Calipha both agree
Such gifts must thus rewarded be
Let her be adorned in trappings old
That recognize such brilliant souls
When horses prance and falcons soar
Fifty years since the lions first roared.

Behold forever the leaves so dear
That adorn bright pearl of Calontir

Behold forever the leaves so dear
That adorn bright pearl of Calontir

This weekend at Calontir's event Horse and Falcons, held in the Barony of Forgotten Sea, it was my honor to witness the elevation of Qadiya Catalina, my first great-granddaughter laurel, to the Order of the Laurel.

Catalina was apprenticed to Her Excellency the Dread Baroness Mistress Eleanor, apprentice to my only apprentice H/E Mistress Jorunn Eydisardottir. Qadiya Catalina was elevated for her expansive knowledge, teaching and enthusiasm regarding all things about the Andulasian culture in period (among other things).

I myself was First Apprenticed and First Laurel daughter to Baron Master Robert of Coldcastle, who Went Ahead this past December. Although greatly missed here on Earth, his legacy lives far beyond us all in his legacy. Each of his apprentices, many now Laurels with apprentices and Laurels of their own lineages, magnificent in their own ways.
Congratulations to Catalina and may all welcome her when you see her. Raise a glass and toast to Baron Bob, as well, for his teaching and gentleness is seen in Qadiya, and all of his lineage.
~Aidan Cocrinn, OL. 55th Laurel of Calontir, First Laurel from Baron Master Robert of Coldcastle. Proud great-grand-nana.
