In the SCA, we like to recognise people for achievement in various fields, such as Arts and Sciences, Combat, or Service.
The Crown of Lochac grants various awards; Canon Lore lists those held by citizens of the City of Ildhafn and those held by the citizens of Cluain.
As well as awards being made by the King and Queen, the Barony of Ildhafn has orders, membership of which is awarded by the Baron and Baroness of Ildhafn to give particular local recognition to a deserving person. Membership of these orders carries no formal precendence within the Kingdom of Lochac; for an explanation of precedence, please see this excellent page.
As happens with all best intentions, some of the records of awards given out may have been mislaid temporarily. If you know of an award you or someone else received at an event which isn't listed here, please contact the herald (Noble Saga).

Flower of Ildhafn

Mistress Katherina Weyssin first presented the Flower Jewel to the Baron and Baroness at the Ildhafn Summer Event in December AS54, with these words:
“To glance around this hall is to know that our Barony is graced by many artisans, for on all sides are things we have made, that are wondrous.
Yet there are arts one cannot touch, which shine for but a moment, like the flower which unfolds its petals to the morning sun, and by evening lives only in memory.
In these arts our Barony is a Jewel in the kingdom, a Jewel of unrivalled splendour.
So I give Your Excellencies this Jewel, to adorn those among your people who excel in music, plays, stories, songs, dance - whose performance brings us joy, moves us, inspires us.
The one who receives this should wear it proudly.
It is the tangible, touchable memory of a shining moment.
This Flower does not fade with the evening.
But do not wear it over long. The next time we folk gather, or the time after that, it shall be your duty to advise their Excellencies who should wear it next.
None may bear this gem a year, for it is beyond belief that in this Barony a year could pass without an inspiring performance.
I give you this Flower, and I thank you for being the finest patrons any artists could hope to serve.”
These words of praise are now conveyed at each passing of the Flower to the newest recipient that they are recognised for their contribution to the art of performance.
