Creatures
Bear

Flying Golden Boar
One of the wonders made by the dwarves in Norse mythology.
Fox

Horn
Keeping with the Norse/Saxon history and making it subtle to avoid the appropriated symbology.
- Order of ‘The horn’. A silver (or gold) drinking horn on a field of purple, referencing the mead of poetry.
Unfortunately, Glean Abhean has horn-based awards since their mascot is a ram.
Ring
Keeping with the Norse/Saxon history and making it subtle to avoid the appropriated symbology.
- Order of ‘The ring’ or ‘golden ring’. A gold ring on a purple field, referencing the golden arm ring Draupnir crafted by the dwarves for Oden during one of Loki’s crafting challenges.

Then you can also tie it to Roses have thorns and what do consorts become after they are done reigning is roses...
