Purpose
From Starkhafn's website | Orders, Awards, and Honours in the Society:
The following was read into court at Starkhafn's Virtual Cèilidh (31 Oct 2020) on the creation of the order:
"Many years ago, the Baronage of Starkhafn found that there was a need amongst the Populace to recognize members who have, through dedication to service or skill in an art form or martial form, distinguished themselves amongst their peers. Thus was created four polling orders, the Order of St Illuminatus for Arts & Sciences, the Order of the Flame for service, the Order of the Defender for martial forms and the Order of the Commanders of the Flame for extended years of service. As in the past, the Baronage has found that there is further need amongst to Populace to recognize those members who have through their dedication, skill and sharing of their knowledge distinguished themselves amongst their peers. To that end, The Excellencies, would create a new order to recognize those in the field of Ranged Weapons. And so do we, Robartach and Gyda, create the Order of the Rangers of the Flame of Starkhafn and recognize as premiers of the order, THL Paul Stoddard in the field of Archery and Lady Symonne du Charme in the field of Thrown Weapons."
