At Septentrian Court, Septentrian 12th Night (January 2002), Colyne and Thorfinna were named Baronial Bards of Septentria. This lasted until

Baron Cynred and Baroness Gaerwen stepped down in February 2003.

At Septentrian Court, Pennsic War XXXI (August 2002), Colyne was

given the byname 'Wordsmith' in recognition of his bardic pursuits.
