Court Heraldry at [[Pennsic War 2009]] by Court Herald [[Giles Hill]].

==Closing Ceremonies Start (unused)==
:Far from Caid we’ve journied eastward,
:And greetings from our home we bring.
:Now hear the words of Mora and Edward,
:Of Caid the Queen and the King.

==Closing Ceremonies End (unused)==
:The Court of Edward and Mora is ending;
:Their majesties’ words have been heard.
:Homeward our way we soon will be wending,
:And this cheer our hearts now does stir: 
:Long Live the King!  Long Live the Queen! Long Live Caid!

==Opening of Court==
:Far away is the realm of royal Caid  
:The warm ocean waves wash the sand
:And far have we journied and tired are our steeds
:And we’re come to this green pleasant land.

:Although we are far from our hearth and our home
:Where the crescents so gallantly wave
:Caid journies with us wherever we roam
:And we’re guarded by warriors brave.

:This is the high court of Edward and Mora,
:the sovereigns of royal Caid
:let all be silent, and nature be quiet
:and to their good words, pay heed.

==Closing of Court==
:There being no business that’s left to transact
:We come to the end of this Court
:Our arrows are racked and our bags are all packed
:And we’re heading for Caid’s home port.

:Now Edward our King, both mighty and strong
:Of him do the minstrels all sing.
:And lasts long the song, sounding all the day long
:Long live the King!  Long live the King!

:For Mora, our Lady, who makes us rejoice
:And who frequently dresses in green
:Let us cry with glad hearts, with a loud and clear voice
:Long live the Queen!  Long live the Queen!

:Noble the kingdom we honor and love,
:And noble our hearts and our deeds,
:With our mighty shout let the prayer ring out: 
:Long             live            Caid!
:Hip Hip, Hurrah! Hip Hip, Hurrah! Hip Hip, Hurrah!
