Red Gryphon of Avacal

Previously Called Griffin of Avacal Registered with the College of Heralds in May 2008

Sample Wording taken from Countess Inga the Unfettered's Red Gryphon Ceremony August Investiture 2009:

Princess: During the reign of Queen Hlutwige and King Tjorkill, the Lion of An Tir was created. It is a mark of favour given once a reign to an individual who embodies the ideals of the Society. Great is the weight that it carries - and it is carried by many a legend in An Tir:

Members include:
 * Duchess Hlutwige
 * Ban Jarla Daedin
 * Duke Dak
 * TEs Berek and Leisel

Prince: During the reign of Einar and Ifathyo, the Red Gryphon was created to mirror the Lion of An Tir. Tradition has dictated that it be bestowed only once a reign, to one who embodies the ideals of the Society, to someone who serves both Avacal and An Tir, to someone who is or will be legendary in Avacal. To date, there are but two members, HE Vik Vikingsson and HE Thorvald Grimsson. Today we wish to add one more to the list:__________________________________.

HH Steinn Vikingsson then took HE Inga's hand and brought her into court. She was inducted into the Order by the hand of Steinn and Gemma~ and was presented a scroll done by her student Marie de Monte.
