The induction of Companions into this Order is at the discretion of the Baron and Baroness of North Woods with recommendations from the populace and support of the Order. After the induction of the Premier Companions, this Order will be considered a Polling Order.
Whereas, from the beginning of time we have recognized honor, virtue,leadership, and service with sundry tributes and remembrances, so let such be recognized now. Numerous commendable actions, done repeatedly and for a significant period of time, benefitting the Barony of North Woods and its Cantons, and thus for the good of the Middle Kingdom, have been the contributions of these nobles gentles to the Dream. Words alone are insufficient to express our gratitude and thanks for their devotion, loyalty, and deeds.

In June 2020, North Woods suddenly lost one of its very talented musicians to cancer. We feel that we were just beginning to see how much this noble man had to offer. He was quiet and avoided the limelight, but he was gifted in so many ways and he was starting to blossom. We don’t want his gift or his memory to be forgotten. It is with great sadness of heart but joy in the doing, that we present Lord Cailin’s Golden Trope Award for contributions, accomplishments, and inspiration in music.
In the most simple terms, a music Trope is a musical or lyrical addition or substitution. Lord Cailin was most certainly an addition. In his memory, it is with great sadness of heart but joy in the doing, that we present Lord Cailin’s Golden Trope Award for contributions, accomplishments, and inspiration in music.
