Creatures
Bear
Strong, sort-of lives in Calontir
Chimera of Owl and ?
Cow
"Cowontir"
Demobison
aka Flying Bison, see Flying Golden Boar
Flying Golden Boar
One of the wonders made by the dwarves in Norse mythology.
Fox
Clever, lives in Calontir
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.
Drachenwald has the Order of the Ring as their catch-all (?) GoA order.
Rulers and other measuring tools.
We all use them. Whether we're measuring millimeters, milligrams or milliseconds.
Thorn
A golden thorn on a purple background. People sometimes collect thorns to make needles out of them. Needles that then get used to make various things (sewing, nailbinding, leather working?!). You are creating a TOOL to make other things. Even that tool itself is a pretty thing and requires making. Then you can also tie it to Roses have thorns and what do consorts become after they are done reigning is roses...
