The calligraphy and initial are based on one of my favorite late-period German manuscripts, Johan Herring's modelbook. The W is found on fol. 62, with the structure of it given on fol. 65. Funnily enough, this is the same exemplar and style that I used for Kane Ragnarsson's Dragons Pride, but the two turned out very different!
The text reads:
We Joel and Valda prince and princess of Insulae Draconis do hereby in the presence of all gathered here eelvate the right noble and our well-beloved cousin lord Wolfram Burkchardt von Flakenstein to the Order of Ffraid. viii * xii * lii *
