Calon Lily scroll text (written by Ms Alessandra de Piro)
The golden rays of dawn's first lightCast down from heaven unto Sheba's garden below The mother's beak with feathered wings aglow Watches as her silver-winged butterfly glides from sight. To the Lilies she goes. Her flight gracefully flows
From azure skies to ore fields She lands upon the lily as gently as a swan wakens And from the lily, it is knowledge that is taken To give to others to wield. Her words are known by those who listen Jewels of wisdom that in the sun, glisten.
We have seen her hand upon the scrolls of old Their radiant Majesties do declare. Each word well weighted so it may bear It's full potence; though gentle or bold. Yet what of the Lilies present before,Is the Lady Chiara ready to soar?
Though she hails from the skies above Heaven brought her just the same. It is our wish that she take our name, Becoming a Lily with all of our love Then let it be so on this day For this, time must not delay!
A great library of scrolls, books, and text In the County of Pontmerci is yours to own. Where you may teach and learn; for this is now your home. In return your continued services we do expect Lady Chiara di Paxiti be called now what you are A Lily of the Kingdom who will bloom afar.
Done this day, the 14th day of June, A.S. XLVIII, on Our fields at Lilies War.

Cross of Calontir scroll text
(written by Master Rhodri ap Hywel)
The falcon soars across the shining sky
with swiftest wings to claim a northern breeze
Zephyr that lifts him is the softest sigh
as he circles over towers and trees
and to the wind he sends a searing cry
when thus with eyes aware a prize he sees
below him is a sweet daughter of peace
performing deeds that seem to never cease.
Oft she appears when giants make their wars
as fierce as brinded cats with flashing swords
for golden crowns the reddest blood they pour
their greatest joys and deeds she right records
then she to those with deepest wounds succors
with water sweet relieving wounded hordes.
When she completes such deeds, what spies his eye?
why tis but sweetest purple butterfly.
The falcon’s eyes not only ones that see
for Logan king and Ylva queen are wise
so Chiara di Paxiti must be
for deeds so collected clearly comprise
a Cross of Calontir now must decree
and title given not her only prize
from Pontmerci bestowed ten saccato
and her sworn lady’s love now all shall know.
