Following the first edition, Koenas-Mamej Annika and the Royal Family has taken the time to research and record the extravagant history of the Crown Jewels of Hanseti-Ruska for all to read and study. This being said, it is only right to go back in time to appreciate the rich and prestigious history our blessed nation holds in the second part to Her Majesties research.

 

Harbinger 
A master-crafted longsword, spanning a total 1.4 meters and weighing 1.1 kilogram. The 1 meter long blade is made from daemonsteel of the highest quality, bearing a Spirograph Damascus pattern, a leaf-shape and a bread fuller, its edge surpassing the sharpness of a razor. Under the blade sits an ornate cross-guard of blackened Daemonsteel, its slightly upward-curving bars made to look like the heads of great dragons sat atop their scaled necks, rubies forming their eyes. Another draconic head sits in the centre of the guard, on each side, their ruby eyes bearing a most radiant shine. The grip is made from Daemonsteel, wrapped in alternating strands of silver and black wire. It is tipped by a disc pommel of blacked Daemonsteel, inlaid with a large rhombic ruby on each side. 

 

 

Silver Cross of Lorraine
This is an expertly crafted silver-clad cross of Lorraine. A singular marquise-cut blue gem of lapis is set in the centre. The cross comes with a minisculely-linked iron chain to allow its owner to adorn his or her neck with it. This cross was once blessed by Pontain III.

 

 

Sword of Saint Godwein
The arming sword has on it etched in flexio the name of its once owner, The metal is somewhat rusted which denotes its age. Whether proper care could return it to its former glory is not entirely known. Its cross-guard has a hollow space in its middle where once a gem of splendour sat. the hilt is made of a long greened bronze that once would have shone brightly. 

 

 

Face of the North
A golden trinket with a lion carved into it forged by the order of the Golden Lance. It was supposedly found within the far north of Anthos shortly before the realm’s destruction. When worn, the wearer feels ready for anything. 

 

 

Medals of the Teutonic Order
A sturdy case made from dark wood and locked with a brilliant brass keyhole. Inside could be found a neat array of finely crafted medals, held in place by tiny strips of leather. These medals were given to Saraints of the Teutonic Order for their achievements on and off the battlefield. 

 

 

Golden Sky
A set of barding, made completely from gilded steel, with a silver trim resembling crowns, each decorated with three diamonds. The crinet is engraved with a larger murder of crows in flight, each eye being a diamond. Both flanchards and the croupiere are formed by scales, each engraved with a singular crow in flight, a diamond as the eye. The peytral resembles a crow, made from blackferrum, a large diamond forming each eye, its wings reaching back to the saddle, talons stretched forward. Beneath the barding sits a caparison of thick, golden and black cloth, stitched into which is the Royal Crest of House Barbanov. 

 

 

The Crown Jewels of Petrus
A sparkling sapphire that would be slightly translucent and have a red ruby encased in the centre. This unique gem would be from the city of Petrus on Athera and recovered during the Siege of Petrus. The unique gem would be around an inch in diameter. This gem could easily be fastened into a necklace or cut into multiple rings.
