Version 1 (long)
- A Barony is strong only when the Coronets may rely upon the aid of their subjects to help them administer the great fief placed in their care by the Crown. Service is expected of all gentles of Unser Hafen, yet there are those who pour forth their talents unstintingly, beyond what is expected. It is meet then that the Coronets reward such loyal and steadfast retainers.
- Such a one is [Recipient's Name], who has served us well, and helped nurture that flower of the Outlands that is Unser Hafen.
- Therefore do we, [Baron's Name], Baron of Unser Hafen, and [Baroness's Name], Baroness of Unser Hafen, proclaim [him/her/them] a Companion of the Right Noble Order of the Golden Ring. {In token of our high esteem, we convey unto [him/her/them] the right to bear the badge of the Order, to wit: A portcullis vert debruised by an annulet Or.} Further, we do charge [Lord/Lady/Noble] [Recipient's First Name] to continue as [he/she/them] has done in the past, giving unto our fair Barony a wealth of experience and service.
- Done by our hands this ____ day of ______, Anno Societatis _____, being ____ Gregorian.

Version 2 (short)
- A Barony can only be strong when it may rely upon the efforts of its subjects to administer to its daily needs. All good gentles share in the burden, but there are those who willingly give of themselves more than a Coronet may ask.
- One such loyal and steadfast subject is [Recipient's Name], whose service to us pleases us well.
- Therefore do we, [Baron's Name], Baron of Unser Hafen, and [Baroness's Name], Baroness of Unser Hafen, proclaim [him/her/them] a Companion of the Golden Ring. Let all praise [his/her/them] worth and talents! {In token of our high esteem, we confer upon [Lord/Lady/Noble] [Recipient's First Name] the right to bear the badge of the Order, to wit: A portcullis vert debruised by an annulet Or.}
