Additional Comments:    5th scroll. I was in an architectural mood at the time I was working on this *as a blank*. Initially, I thought I would try to create a blank suitable for each barony, including Concordia of the Snows (The two 'angels' over the doorway were supposed to be Balthasar and Lucia. When the assignment came in, their coronets were erased...). The 'handle' on the "church doors" (gutter between text columns creates the look of closed doors)  has the two insignias on it representing some of what Katrina was recommended for (waterbearing and Chronicler of Bhakail).

If I could do a couple of things differently with this scroll (20-20 hindsight), I'd change the rosette to something more closely resembling the real thing, and add more depth to the piece by shading the columns on either side of the page a little. Just the same, I'm glad she liked it. :)
