Crown of Seasons

Four knights stand around a kneeling hero. The knights in full regalia, each wearing a coloured cloak.    The Blue is for Winter,  who is cold yet so very strong.  The Green is for Spring,  who brings life and so much beauty. The Yellow is for Summer,  warm, but as unyielding as Blue.  The Red is for Fall,  close with death yet brings rebirth.
  The Crown of Seasons is only imparted on those heroes who embody the most virtuous of ideals, that hero who proves themselves worthy of respect of peoples from all corners of the world. An Everice Wanderer, a Greenknight, a Son of the Golden Sanctum, and one from Order of the Red Haze surround the receiver and each speak their words blessing them and their deeds, then one by one they lay their own weapons down and kneel before them while they stand to give their own words of acceptance.

History

Only two heroes have ever gained enough renown and respect from each of the Four Orders to get them to agree on bestowing this honour. The first was Nula Thrice-Slain, an Eleb woman and mother of three (eventually heroes in their own right), who led her people through the desert for forty days to safety from the Wrahm, who then is said to have died defending her children from Kiavrynarth the Cruel (taking the dragon down with her). She returned to fight off ice giants with her eldest son, and died again wrestling a saber-toothed tiger to save her grandson. After she brought the World Seed to the Lotus Springs and after receiving the Crown, she gave her life one last time protecting the city of Bloom from certain destruction, inspiring its meagre defenders to a very unlikely victory.
