Words by Ollam Lanea:
<poem>
Listen as I extol this Noble scholar,
Ether tamer, wisdom weaver,
Pervading darkness and light
To grant us safe passage through the
Tangled labyrinth of thought.
Then capturing the Sun’s punishing heat
And water’s rushing stream,
Harnessing the harvest
In the bee loud glade.
May their vessels be bathed
And their wort run clear.
And let their brews drive our songs
At regal fete and humble twmpath.
Let none oppose the honey’s gift
As long as the world remains
And Harmonies resound.
Bard and Bevy sing praise
Of Noble Owain Weale,
Star of magnificent stars,
Wending the webs of words and ways,
Through the ruddy reaping of the steep
And so calls this morning raven
To the blue tinged wings of dawn.
So we, Abran King and Anya Queen,
Name Noble Owain Weale a member of the Order of the Golden Dolphin
And Grant them arms, this 18th day of February
At the tournament of Ymir
</poem>

==Persona==
Owain was raised by family of mine owners in Dartmoore where they received a basic education and became well connected within regional trade routes. Around their age of majority, the family mines were made fully property of The Crown and Owain was appointed to a land management position in southern Wales. This position was defined as overseeing the development of the territory surrounding Neath Abby. In this position they balance the priorities of the surrounding population, the Cistercian order of the Abby, and the trade and strategic interests of the Norman aristocracy. Owain takes a special interest in the local production of grains, pride in the quality of ale the people produce, and the dedication of the militia to their archery training. In all of these things, Owain takes the time to get directly involved and is content with their moderate station in life.

== Miscellany and Sundry ==

*Owain uses they/them pronouns.
*In case of acute asthma, Owain carries a rescue inhaler. Please feed and water Owain if they are outside brewing all day.
*In case of court, please contact Lady Gwenhwyfar.

Words by Ollam Lanea:
<poem>
Listen as I extol this Noble scholar,
Ether tamer, wisdom weaver,
Pervading darkness and light
To grant us safe passage through the
Tangled labyrinth of thought.
Then capturing the Sun’s punishing heat
And water’s rushing stream,
Harnessing the harvest
In the bee loud glade.
May their vessels be bathed
And their wort run clear.
And let their brews drive our songs
At regal fete and humble twmpath.
Let none oppose the honey’s gift
As long as the world remains
And Harmonies resound.
Bard and Bevy sing praise
Of Noble Owain Weale,
Star of magnificent stars,
Wending the webs of words and ways,
Through the ruddy reaping of the steep
And so calls this morning raven
To the blue tinged wings of dawn.
So we, Abran King and Anya Queen,
Name Noble Owain Weale a member of the Order of the Golden Dolphin
And Grant them arms, this 18th day of February
At the tournament of Ymir
</poem>

==Persona==
Owain was raised by family of mine owners in Dartmoore where they received a basic education and became well connected within regional trade routes. Around their age of majority, the family mines were made fully property of The Crown and Owain was appointed to a land management position in southern Wales. This position was defined as overseeing the development of the territory surrounding Neath Abby. In this position they balance the priorities of the surrounding population, the Cistercian order of the Abby, and the trade and strategic interests of the Norman aristocracy. Owain takes a special interest in the local production of grains, pride in the quality of ale the people produce, and the dedication of the militia to their archery training. In all of these things, Owain takes the time to get directly involved and is content with their moderate station in life.

== Miscellany and Sundry ==

*Owain uses they/them pronouns.
*In case of acute asthma, Owain carries a rescue inhaler. Please feed and water Owain if they are outside brewing all day.
*In case of court, please contact Lady Gwenhwyfar.
