Award of Arms - Osanna Schade

Given March 1, 2025 at the Crown's A&S Championship, during the reign of King Matthew and Queen Fiamuin. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay long enough to attend the court, but I did get to briefly meet the recipient at her A&S display! She was such a delight, and I loved learning the game she was teaching from the time period.

I spoke with her then-fiance via Facebook about her interests, and knew I wanted to go all-in on the yellow and black theme she has created with her heraldry and usual garb.

Also pictured is the recipient's cat, Spaghetti. Reference photo provided by her partner. I didn't have it in me to make her own cat one of those silly medieval cats, so I found a more "normal" reference.

Behold Spaghetti the cat

Words

It is known throughout Our Realm that the East has a wealth of talents. 

Let all hear of one who does it all. In nigh on two years, Osanna Schade has faithfully served the Barony of An Dubhaigeainn, taken up the rapier and wielded it well at the Pennsic War and beyond, and won a Balfar’s Challenge. She has used her passion for the arts to teach and encourage others. In all things, she has proven herself a force, worthy of recognition.

So shall it be that We, Matthew and Fiamuin, King and Queen of the East, do recognize Osanna Schade with this Award of Arms. Given at the Crown's A&S Champions Competition, A.S. LIX, in the Barony of Settmour Swamp.
