Quarterly sable and gules, a portcullis argent within a bordure argent, masoned sable.”

Cave Canes! “Beware of the Dogs” is the motto of this fair Barony. And well said — the knights, huscarls, fyrdmen, fighters, archers, and equestrians of this Barony have given us ample reason to be proud of each area of endeavor in the martial arts; thus this award is given to those who are a part of our martial presence at tournaments held in the Lonely Tower and throughout Calontir and the Known World. Recipients of this award are known as Defenders of the Gate or, affectionately, DoGs.

Do you know of someone who regularly participates in fighting tournaments? Write a recommendation and send it to the Baron and Baroness!
