	* Premier Artisan of the [[Shadowlands]], Tournament of the Round Table IV, April 1986. Of note: I’m pretty sure that Cynric and I came up with the concept of a titled artisan – we were tired of all the titles going to fighters. He was MOAS of the Shadowlands at the time, and I was the herald, so I designed and registered a badge for the Artisan of the Shadowlands, and he held the first Artisan competition at the Tournament of the Round Table IV in April 1986. I entered a marzipan centaur subtlety and an illuminated, calligraphed sonnet and won the title. Shadowlands had the first titled artisan in the kingdom until Steppes created its Artisan of the Steppes title in 1988.		* Premier Artisan of the [[Shadowlands]], Tournament of the Round Table IV, April 1986.

	* Presented a banner of my design of the full Ansteorran achievement to the kingdom at Queen’s Champion, August 1987. [[Eldric de Charbonneau]] and [[Robin of Gilwell]] carried it into court, furled, and let it fall open before their Majesties. It was presented in Aureliane’s honor, and per my request, they didn’t use my name, because I wanted the attention focused on the banner. NOTE: Prior to this, the only full achievement of the kingdom had been one that Aureliane had drawn. I wanted to make one that included representations of every award in the kingdom (at that point). After the crown started using the banner, full achievements briefly became a “thing,” and I designed Bryn Gwlad’s as well, at the request of the baron and baroness.		* Presented a banner of my design of the full Ansteorran achievement to the kingdom at Queen’s Champion, August 1987.
