This song was written for Grand Court at Estrella XIV. Her Majesty of An Tir
wished to do something a bit different during the “gift-exchange” and so had
me write and sing this for the gifting. The verses can be sung in any order and
were intended that way because we had no way of knowing which gifts would be
given at which times.
Aethelmarc:
C F We honor this fine kingdom, who stands so straight and tall, C F G C We sing of Aethelmarc, the youngest of us all!
An Tir:
All honor to you An Tir,
full well may you boast,
We sing of mighty An Tir, the Brave and Bonny Host!
Ansteorra:
Now honor Ansteorra, Known both wide and far,
We sing of Ansteorra, at the rising of the Star!
Artemesia:

We sing of Artemesia, no honor do you lack!
Atenvelt:
The land of the Phoenix, the
land of the sun,
Proud father of kingdoms,

Atlantia:
The bravest of warriors, and

The kingdom of the Crescent,

The Eastrealm has the

All honor to the Eastrealm,

Meridies:
Honor to this kingdom side to

Let us praise the chivalry of
the silver and the black.
My heart still holds you
dear, my home, though I wander all my days,

fine Meridies!
Midrealm:
Much glory and much honor,
with ceremony grand,
We praise the Middle Kingdom,
who’s known throughout the land!
Outlands:
Persistence and rich valor,
the Outlands are so bold,
The stag upon the green
field, embattled by the gold!
Trimaris:
A kingdom by the water,
Trimaris stands so proud,
So let us sing their praises;
we sing them strong and loud!
West:
The first one and the
foremost, and some might say the best!
So let us sing the praises of
the Kingdom of the West!
