The Scroll of Honor was created to commemorate the passing of Evan Graham of Montrose. The project grew from two independent projects, a website maintained for many years by Duchess Jacyntha Argentarius and a list for virtual tavern called the "Prancing Yak" which exists only on the 'Steps of the Cathedral' maintained by Companion Aaron of the Black Mountains.
The rules were only three in number;
- Only An Tir folk are listed on the Scroll (This includes any who considered themselves An Tirian)
- No titles are listed on the Scroll. (Except for Her Serene Highness, Janeltis Karaine, Starfollower)
- The names are entered alphabetically as death is the great equalizer. (So all listed are equally honored.)
The Scroll of Honor, the Steps version of this list maintained by Aaron, hung on the wall of this virtual tavern and it became custom for Aaron to write a short story wherein a 'toast' was offered for the memory of the departed.
These tavern toasts finally resulted in the creation of a physical, paper scroll that could be held and read. Dame Tamlyn of Wyntersea (OL) lead a group of scribes who caligraphed the paper Scroll. This caligraphed scroll is updated with the names of additional losses in our Kingdom.
The An Tir Remembers website, maintained by Jacyntha, was, passed onto the Ladies of the Rose and Valorous Estate once her Grace took on the job of Dexter Gauntlet. So now, several times a year at outdoor Crown Events, the Ladies of the Rose and Valorous Estate present the Riderless Horse Ceremony to announce additions to the scroll. Additions for the Scroll of Honor can also be sent to riderlesshorse(at)hotmail(dot)com.
When the An Tir Wiki came into being, these two separate initiatives had the opportunity to combine their efforts. Jacyntha transfered the entire contents of her website onto the pages here. Having finally passed the burden of maintaining this important piece of An Tir history onto the people of An Tir, she can rest in the secure knowledge that her 5 year odyssey is in good hands.
Both her Grace Jacyntha and Companion Aaron join us at the An Tir Wiki in asking you to take up the mantle of maintenance of this, one of our most important duties: Remembering those who came before us and paying homage to the debt that we all owe them. For as Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants."
Those listed here are our Giants.
