The Award of the Azure Trident was created on pergamenata with Windsor-Newton gouache and Speedball calligraphy ink. The text reads as follows:

Before these here assembled, know that we, Crispin and Gianna, Baron and Baroness of the Cleftlands send greetings. Like the three barbs of Poseidon's mighty trident, our martial forces are made victorious by those who field rattan, rapier, or bow and who excel at displaying their passions for the arts martial in defense of their barony and their kingdom. One such individual has been commended highly to us. Although she may be known more for her animated, if not metallic, smile, it is her infectious enthusiasm on the lists and her acts as an emissary at demonstrations which we celebrate today. Henceforth, it is our wish to recognize Aethelwynn Skerra Dimma as the premier recipient of our Award of the Azure Trident of the Cleftlands. We grant her and all who follow her the right to bear the badge: Fieldless, a trident azure within and conjoined to an annulet argent estencelly gules. Done by our hands this 9th day of June, Anno Societatis 53 at Northern Oaken War Maneuvers.
