Order of the Golden Pheon

The Order of the Golden Pheon is a Kingdom-level Award of Arms Order in the Kingdom of the Outlands. It honors individuals who have demonstrated excellence in archery or thrown weapons and who have given notable service in support of these disciplines within the Kingdom. This award was chartered on the 18th day of July, A.S. XXXIII (1998), during the reign of King Hrothger II and Queen Madigan. At that time, Pendar the Bard served as White Stag Principal Herald.

Purpose and Recognition

This award recognizes skill, dedication, and ongoing contribution to the martial arts of archery and thrown weapons. It is often given to those whose service helps to grow and support these disciplines at both local and Kingdom levels.

Recipients of this award are entitled to use the post-nominal letters [CGP] after their name.

The Order bestows an Award of Arms upon the recipient, if they do not already possess one.

Precedence

This Order carries the precedence of an Award of Arms. If the recipient already holds an AoA, their precedence remains unchanged but the honor is added to their list of recognitions.

Badge

Vert, a pheon inverted environed of a stag's attire, all within a bordure embattled Or.

Recipients are entitled to display the badge of the Order and may wear appropriate regalia.

Optional Additions for Arms

If the recipient does not already hold an Award of Arms, the following line may be added after the first sentence in paragraph (4):

We further wish to reward him/her/them with an Award of Arms. We award [Lord/Lady/Noble Name] the right to bear those Arms approved by the College of Arms, [BLAZON], throughout the lands of the Known World as a sign of his/her/their great merit.

The heraldic attestation must also be included:

The College of Arms, finding no impediment to the Arms here blazoned, has assigned their exclusive use to [Recipient's Name].

White Stag Principal Herald

If the recipient has no registered Arms, use this language instead:

We further wish to reward him/her/them with an Award of Arms, and charge [Lord/Lady/Noble Name] to consult with Ourselves and Our heralds to determine suitable and unique Arms.

Heraldic Achievement Notes

If the scroll conveys an Award of Arms, a full heraldic achievement may be used. The shield may be encircled with a ribbon (no chains) from which hangs the badge of the Order: a pheon inverted environed of a stag's attire on a green field, within a bordure embattled Or. The ribbon may be any color except white.

If no AoA is conveyed, the recipient’s Arms should not be displayed in achievement.
