It is a longstanding Rosarian tradition for the Archduke to bestow a gift to scions of the ducal line upon their coming of age. These bracers, dyed in the red of the star Metia, were what Elwin’s father chose for him, and formed part of a set of clothes kept in Eastpool for when he and his family would summer there.

One amongst the old kingdoms that now make up the Republic of Dhalmekia took the mural crown Or as its emblem. Though romantics choose to believe the symbol reflects a lost golden age of wealth and prosperity, historical scholars are of a different opinion: that it is naught but the representation of a stony desert citadel—of strength in collective struggle against the unforgiving elements.

Fashioned after those pictured adorning the wrists of the mythical Founder in ancient engravings, Archduke Elwin intended to gift these bands to his beloved sons upon their coming of age, that they might serve to remind them of the unbreakable bonds they share as proud scions of the ducal line, and the unwavering devotion that would be required to see their duty done.

Only when she saw the drake no longer stirred and his eyes were grey with oblivion did she remove belt and bracelet, casting them into the wyrm’s maw where they might rest for an eternity.“
