PREAMBLE 

 

In the early years of 1878, a young brunette girl traveled the back roads from Guise, her family home and the only land outside of the Orenian capital of Vianne the young child had ever seen. At the sharp age of seven and a half, the little girl finally arrived in Karosgrad where she'd received word that the Orenian prince was being held and her sisters had journeyed a move to. 

 

Deciding to see for herself exactly what Haense was. She encountered Her Majesty Amadea for the first time when speaking to the Queen about her upbringing. From then on, the kind Queen brought Emèlie into her temporary home, entirely renovating offices in the barracks just to keep the girl happy. Soon once the palace had finished, she would move all three de Falstaff girls into the ward building in the palace ensuring they were taken care of while the war raged on. Over the next thirteen years, the young Emèlie, Manon, and Ophelie were taken care of by her majesty's warm heart.

COMPENSATION

 

To thank the queen for housing the three girls in the ward building while they're family went through tremendous trial and hardship. The eldest Ashford de Falstaff left, found it only right to gift the queen quite an expensive and luxurious gift. One that cost countless hours of embroidery, forging, crafting, and designing.

THE KOKOSHNIK 

 

Upon sight of the luxurious gift one would be greeted with a dim glimmer under the light. It was apparent at first sight the Kokoshnik was entirely made of carefully mended gold and followed with a delicate silk embroidery veil.

 

The golden Kokoshnik had been forged in the dead of night under the torch and flames of a brick furnace just outside of Karosgrad, thirteen indentions outlined the placement where the gems would be stored. Small chains of gold hung just down from the Kokoshnik creating the traditional links to hang upon the Queen's forehead.

 

However impressive the gold might be, the very apparent stone at the center of the crown lay the most shocking of all.

A dark red Titans Eye had been placed delicately in the center. At a closer look, one would see swirls of orange and brighter reds flowing as a fine red mist seemed to always be pulling around the crystal. Though the refined beauty of the Kokoshnik was clear. Those who place the royal crown upon their head would feel rising senses of passion, love, and pride However in a bitter mood they would be swayed to stand in anger. Due to the swirls of orange present in the gem, one could also lean more productive, Content and enthusiastic.

 Along the two sides flowing down from the gem would be carefully placed ruby's which had been installed with pearls surrounding the blood red stones in a circular motion. At the mark of the sixth stone down from the center on each side, there would be two diamonds, presenting the blue to represent that differences within the culture should still be respected. Specifically this highlights the Orenian origins both Amadea and Emèlie had come from. Growing as people and deciding to take the Haenseni-Ruska culture by choice.

THE VEIL

 

Once a wandering eye traveled to the back of the lustrous Kokoshnik they would be greeted with beautiful embroidery. Golden thread created soft embroidered lines that folded into the design. Two simple lines stretched along the edge, then in between held vines that curved in and about before stopping to center the great crow of Haense.

FINAL TOUCHES

 

The enticing and beautiful crown held a certain touch to it, upon tapping the crown in the center three times, a loud hum would emit leaving those around with goose bumps and a fading sense of the noise.
