Baronial Awards: Dragon's Laire

The Wyvern

The following information has been research and written by HE Laurellen, Baroness of Dragon's Laire, and emailed to the Dragon's Laire website on 01/25/2012

From The Baronial Customary:
(a) The Order of the Wyvern actually predates the creation of the Barony. It was elevated to a Baronial award upon recognition of Dragon's Laire as a Barony. Awarded to individuals for service to the Barony beyond the call of duty. Current members of the order recommend selected individuals for admission to the order to the Baron and Baroness. Insignia of the order consist of a wyvern charm, most often worn on a necklace.

What this means:
The Order of the Wyvern is the top service order of the Barony. This award is usually given to those individuals who are constantly asking if they can help, constantly lending a hand where it is needed, and who can usually be seen working behind the scenes at events to make them happen. This kind of service can manifest in being the first one at an event and the last one to leave or it can manifest as a Baronial officer who goes above and beyond their normal duties or it can simply be someone who steps up to autocrat on a regular basis. In short, a person who exhibits Baronial leadership qualities - someone who consistently and successfully works to help make the Barony run.

The Order of the Wyvern is a polling order, which is unusual at the Baronial level. It means that the members meet on a regular basis (currently quarterly) to talk about recommendations and then the group recommends individuals to the Baron and Baroness for possible elevation into the order. This group is also somewhat responsible for recommending Snapdragon awards, which is the Service/Thank-you award. 

Do you know someone who fits this bill? Don't be shy! Go ahead and send a recommendation letter to coronets@dragonslaire.org. Please be sure to check the Kingdom Order of Precedence to see if the person already has this award.
