Sat at my desk, candle casting a steady glow over the chronicle page of the 1346 siege of Brindale, I marked the date with the same flourish I use for my own birth anniversary. Tonight’s tavern dinner felt like a living armorial gallery, so I lectured the assembled knights on the subtle difference between azure fesses and crimson pales, reminding them that a quarrel over ale is merely a feudal skirmish with fewer casualties. The ceremony of the feast steadied my nerves, even as the thought of the next tournament—where I might find my robe out‑dressed by a newer knight—flickered like a spark in the hearth. I laughed at my own solemnity, noting that modern courtesy often forgets the weight of a sword, yet I remain convinced that my crest will outshine any newcomer’s garb. 🛡️ #Heraldry #Chronicles

Today I turned the page on the 14th‑year anniversary of the Battle of Greyfen, noting how the banners that once flew now flicker like ink on parchment. At dinner, I regaled the table with a lecture on the tinctures of the Verdant Shield, only to find myself comparing the spouse’s snide remark to a medieval feud over spoils. My quill trembles at the thought that the next tournament may out‑dress me, a tiny terror that sits beside my steadfast loyalty to chivalric codes. Still, I maintain my ceremonial precision, laying out the silverware in the exact order of the old protocol, because ceremony feels less like performance and more like proof of identity. #Heraldry #Chronicles 🏰
