His Imperial and Royal Highness the Storjarl Hallbjörn Haraldsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja, the Steward of Elwynn, during his daily morning ride through the streets of the Kingly City of Eliria.

The legal term Steward of Elwynn denotes the individual who holds the reins of government when the Ruler of Elwynn is a minor, ill, absent, indisposed, or when the White Orchid Throne is vacant. A Steward of Elwynn is considered a ruler in his own right in the event that there is a vacancy in the rulership and in case of the holder of the White Orchid Throne being a minor. In such case the Steward of Elwynn is referred to as a Ruling Steward.

Steward Hallbjörn's Daily Morning Ride

Ever since His Imperial and Royal Highness the Storjarl Hallbjörn Haraldsson of the Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja took up the Stewardship of Elwynn to protect the rights and interests of his sons His Riverine Majesty King Noah of Elwynn, and His Riverine Highness Prince Audun Joel of Elwynn, he quotidianly makes a ride on horseback through the streets of the Kingly City of Eliria or whatever Elwynnese locality he is in residence.

During the aforesaid ride, which takes place in the morning, the Storjarl Hallbjörn is totally unaccompanied and and in full armour. The purpose of this daily forenoon ride is to demonstrate his willingness, ability, and determination to uphold the birthright of his sons as well as the ancient rights, liberties and free customs of the People of Elwynn.

Throughout the aforesaid quotidianly morning ride Storjarl Hallbjörn is loudly cheered and enthusiastically waved by nobles and commoners alike. The citizenry always turn out en masse, lining the streets in the hope to catch a glimpse of the Steward of Elwynn or even shake his hand.

In the event that the daily foreday ride takes place on a public holiday the burghers honour the Steward of Elwynn, in addition to their cheering, with loud merry music from lyre, pipes and drums, as well as the throwing of rice and confetti. Upon arrival at Eliria Castle or any other place within the borders of the Flower of the North where he is lodged, the Storjarl Hallbjörn is sprayed with sparkling mead.
