===The Original Three Medallions===
Prior to our [[3rd Vindheim Coronet]], Micauley and Caterina, naming [[Zubeydah]] their Bastion during their step down Court, they presented the previously named Bastions, [[Charles the Grey of Mooneschadowe]] and [[Vincenti da Murano]] with a handsome medallion created by [[Skjoldulfr Hildibjarnarson]]. At the time the medallions had been commissioned, information was not available regarding the registration of the official insignia. The design utilized was Sable, a cog voided gules fimbriated Or,  charged with a mullet of six points Or. In the weeks following being named Bastion, Zubeydah reached out to Princess Emmalina, our [[4th Vindheim Coronet]], about having the medallion inscribed with the numeral III, and be passed down to the next individual thus named. The first and second Bastion also pledged to pass down their medallions as well.
