Vinhold Awards List

The List of Baronial Awards

The Vinhold Grape Leaf
Since the time of Anthony the Sinister, first Baron of Vinhold, it has been the pleasure of the Baron and Baroness of Vinhold to award those gentles who have enriched the Barony by acts of great artistry or service with the Grape Leaf.

VIA
It was the desire of Joseph LaTour, Baron of Vinhold, to recognize those gentles whose deeds prove them to be a vinholder, at least at heart. These are the Good Folk who march to war with us, help us tend our wounded and rejoice with us in peace. To this end, he created the VIA award. These letters V – I – A represent the phrase, “Vinholder in Absentia” as these gentles are absent from our shores, but not from our hearts. The word, VIA, also means  “road” in Latin, and expresses our sincere hope that every road leads home….to Vinhold.

Camarilla de Vinhold
It is the earnest desire of the Barony of Vinhold to acknowledge those who reside outside of its borders yet have given of their loyalty to the barony. Therefore, at All-Hallows in the 32nd year of the Kingdom of the West, did Baron Joseph and Baroness Cassandra create the Camarilla de Vinhold, to honor those individuals who have given of their time and efforts, that all might know of their support for the Barony. As a camarilla is a circle of friends, therefore the token of the Camarilla de Vinhold is a circle of gold dependant from a ribbon.

Opus
An Opus is a body of artistic works, those members of the Barony who consistantly strive for excellence in the research and practise of an Artform or Science, and the sharing of same within the populace, should be rewarded for their artistic/academic endeavours, thus was created the Order of the Opus of Vinhold.
