Aileth Gardiner is admitted to the Order of the Rose Leaf, Queen Eliana places the token
around her neck, while King Jade watches. Herald (King's side): Eilis O'Boirne,
Herald (Queen's side): Anne of Montagne du Roi.
"The token I was given actually has a history ... after Christian de Holacombe was
awarded her Rose Leaf, the token went on walkabout. So she was given another one
and made it into a beaded necklace so it would be harder to lose. Of course, the
original token then showed up, and Christian donated the one on the necklace to the
needleworker's guild for when a special guild member was awarded their Rose Leaf. I
was very moved by the fact that it was decided that person should be me." -- Aileth Gardiner
