// Also, historic purposes here, crown-games (Edited slightly):

> l at crown on zehren

This golden crown shines brightly and is beset by several rubies and
emeralds. The crown is high, with three twisting arches reaching out in
different directions, angling their way and eventually pointing diagonally
downwards. All the metal of the crown is found in the round circular part
and the three arches. The centre of the crown is covered in silk, which is
clearly visible even when the crown is seen horizontally. The silk has
three large rectangles, two of which are green, while the last rectangle is
red. At the very front of the crown, without the arches blocking the view,
is an engraved golden heart, decorated with runes running along its edges.
Engraved around the crown in small but clearly visible writing are the
words: His Royal Majesty, Zehren Eagleowl, Monarch of the Kingdom of Rinsed
Curds, Sovereign of all Cheeseness.
It is in prime condition.

You emote: Tanriel steps behind Zehren[halfling].
