to foster and nurture the gentle arts among Her subjects.
Towards this end, each Queen takes into Her patronage
such warriors, archers, and horsemen as have pleased Her
by their courtesy, chivalry, and growth as gentlepersons.
It is the function of the Queen's Guard to both guard their
leige Lady
and to serve Her as She may require. Beyond this, however,
they must ceaselessly strive to progress as gentlepersons,
and to serve as examples for those of lesser accomplishments.
Now therefore do We, {NAME}, Queen of Caid,
call to service in Our Guard the following individuals:
Lord X...
It is the duty of the Captian of the Queen's Guard to
serve
as an example of honor and grace to the rest of the Guard.
Therefore does Her Majesty call before Her {NAME},
to serve as Her Captain.
Those named present themselves to Her Majesty to receive their baldrics. When Her Majesty is finished, all bow and exit.

One of Her Majesty's responsibilities is to act as
patron
for those who strive not with sword and shield, but with bow and arrow.
It is Her Majesty's pleasure to take into Her service
those who not only excel in the field of archery,
but who show themselves to be gracious to all in the Realm.
Therefore, it pleases Her Majesty, [NAME], to name to the Queen's Archers:
N...,
and as captain, X.
Those named present themselves to Her Majesty to receive tokens of Her patronage. When Her Majesty is finished, all bow and exit.

to call to Her service:
Lord N...
and as captain, X.
