It's both. :)

Tailoring the text to the individual is always great, but if someone would like to modify a period song into scroll text, that would/could be really nice or modified period manuscript text, that would be nice too. Of course scribes don't have to take it that far but they could if they wanted too.

It seems like Master Richard and even Maestra Cassandra are going to solve that issue for us if supplied the images. Let me know if I should send them or if you will be sending them.

I was also not a scribe for Baron Colum and Baroness, now Mistress Briana, though the text on some of the same scrolls I have that Baron Mors has is different so I'll assume that they didn't have a standard text that they preferred for use when scrolls were made for them, maybe Earl Mika and Mistress Ursula did.

If there were 3 to 4 different award text examples, that would be nice, just like in the Atlantian Handbook, as long as the scribes are aware that that text does not need to be used, that they are just examples and scribes are free to write their own text. I can look through my scrolls and Baron Mors scrolls for potential examples.
