Nota bene on the crown: the Forest Crown is delicately shaped out of leaves of several metals.  It is extremely non-fussy and understated (the way I like things), and on the forehead, centered on some kind of undetermined flower, is a star sapphire (ever seen a picture of one of those?  Dark cobalt blue, and a silver/white star).  It was a gift to the High Queen of Tithia from the Dragons (I’m starting to be in favor of non-humans, magic is still in question).  More notes on the coronation and wedding ceremonies later.
