The Award of the Azure Trident was created on pergamenata with Windsor-Newton gouache and Speedball calligraphy ink. The text reads as follows:
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. Know by these words that Crispin and Gianna, Baron and Baroness of Cleftlands, do hereby recognize and bestow unto Muldonny McVriw the Award of the Azure Trident of the Cleftlands. We grant him the right to bear the badge: Fieldless, a trident azure within and conjoined to an annulet argent estencelly gules. Done by our hands this 22nd day of September, AS 53 at our Standard Bearers Baronial Championship.
