TO ALL AND SINGULAR to whom these presents shall come, I, Levald Aurelius, Herald Emcee of the College of Arms, of the Kingdom of Wessex send greetings.

WHEREAS Otto Osterwind has shown Gallantry and Dedication during his esquirage to Sir Bastor Sharpeye, he has this while been knighted and elevated to the rank of Cavalier. Subsequently, he was desirous of having Letters Patent of Armorial Ensigns granted and appointed unto him and duly recorded in His Majesty's College of Arms, and accordingly did rightly request the favor of His Majesty’s Warrant for our granting and assigning such Arms.

AND FOREASMUCH as His Majesty, King Manus did by Warrant under his hand and Seal authorize and direct me to grant and assign such Arms and Crest and in the same Patent such Device and Badge accordingly, Know Ye therefore that I in pursuance of His Majesty's Warrant and by virtue of the Letters Patent granted by The King's Most Excellent Majesty do by these Presents grant and assign unto the said Otto Osterwind, Cavalier of the Royal Garrison the Arms following,
