Golden Link

The Golden Link is the Service award for the Barony of Montengarde. The long form is the Order of the Golden Link of the Minotaur's Chain. It is bestowed on by the Baron and Baroness to those that have done service for the Barony. It's members are recommended from the Populace and from the members of the Order.

History of the order

There are those whose tireless service and sacrifice allows us to enjoy the many events and functions that are to be found in the Barony of Montengarde. It is their example which best typifies the volunteer spirit that is the backbone of our Society, without which the tapestry would most certainly all unravel. With this in mind, in the seventeenth year of the Minotaur, being the thirty first year of the Society, Thorwulf and Sapphira chose to create the Baronial Order of the Golden Link, reflecting the chain that is found on the neck of the Baronial Charge and the long tradition of service attached to the Minotaur's Chain.

During the Reign of Malabar and Hero, 7th Baron and Baroness of Montengarde, the tradition of calling the order forward to see the range of gentles who have been inducted into this order. Also for new members to see how many have gained this honour, and to see who is missing from it's rolls.
