The Crown of Sarton
The Crown of the conqueror. The Crown of glory and triumph. The Crown of Sarton!
It was made to dedicate to the reign of the great king, Sarton I, who turned the small town of Valone into the economical giant of the West. And for the next so 400 years the crown have never be passed on to anyone else except the royal family, from the age of kings to the age of emperors.
Light-weight and handy, the crown was made out of pure gold, handcrafted in the shape of wreath. It has sharp golden leaves thoughtout the long golden stem curved in an unclosed circle, with its tips pointing out upward so the wearer's forehead would get cut.
History
It was an idea of the king Rondius I to make the ceremony as the passage of his city's leadership. He didn't wear on his coronation but for his son Sarton, which is then named dedicated to him. It was believed to use golds from Knirk brought by his father, craving by the only surviving friend of his, who was a blacksmith.
Significance
The crown is essential in the coronation, as it is one of the two ceremonial items to be put on the heir of the empire so they can be fully recognized as the new Emperor of Valonia - the other one is the Ring of Val. After the coronation, the emperor can put anytime they wanted or store it away - the crown is theirs. Usually, it is stored in the personal vault inside the grand palace. Only selected family members can access to it.
In theory, the emperor can wear it on whatever duties they attended, but it is so rare. Most of the time the crown has been wore in a public are during sport events and some visitting.
The Great Transition
Considered the oldest accessory of the emperor outfit is somehow not too far from reality. The crown and the ring was made around the same time but the former last more. The crown even survived the fall of Valone in 30 BVE when the ring was unfortunately taken away from his finger of a dying king Ike III, the last king of Valonia and the father of Valus, who revenged them.
The ring was remoulded, but the crown survive safely in the vault. Valus wore the crown in 1 VE at the rivalty city, Knirk. Since then, the crown continue its duties as the symbol of Valonian's power and wonderful.
Ooo, it sounds so pretty. <3
