Awards Received

In August of 2016, the Shire of Quintavia was the first recipient of the Company of Fellowship, given by the hand of Kenric III and Avelina III. The Company of Fellowship is awarded once per reign to a local group who displays exceptional hospitality, service to the kingdom, and cooperation with other groups.

The group receives a banner to display alongside their heraldry: Azure, a saltcellar shedding salt within an orle argent. The initials of the bestowing King and Queen are added to the banner.
