The
Jewels of Ivory
While Ivory has not been an independent country for long, it is deep and rich with history. Most of the Royal Regalia of Ivory comes from various royal families that ruled over various cities, dukedoms, or areas within Ivory at some point in time in the past. This is a priceless collection of masterpiece works. The regalia are used in coronation ceremonies only. Otherwise, they are kept under the most secure of situations, and often replacements or duplicates ae put on display for the public as the curators of some of the pieces swap at random.
Coronations in Ivory always occur in Vespal Cathedral in downtown Seston, Ivory and are conducted by the current High Priest of Malacia, who is elected by 80% approval from all priests of Malacia and serves until death.

Carefully crafted by the artisans of Lartia, this brooch is made completely out of the Ivory Michael Sneed and Kerrinne brought back from their travels while they were married. The rose brooch has a 4" diameter, and the petals are so delicate that when the brooch is carried (it is never worn) it must have protection on all sides from wind that could damage it, which is why people often comment that it's a rose so lovely only the birds can see it! This royal artifact is protected and cared for by the Order of the Rose based in Lartia. |

The Ivory Elephant
This is perhaps the most celebrated piece in the Ivory Royal Regalia. It's valued at being priceless, due to the amount of Ivory in this foot long piece as well as the many splendid and flawless gems it contains. This piece was given as a gift to Kerrinne and Lord Michael Sneed during their travels around the world by the Jaffna kingdom (modern day northern Sri Lanka). It was said to be a token of good luck and hope, because Kerrinne had tended their young King Singai Pararasasegaram while he was deathly ill. He went on to live after her treatment as one of the most successful kings of the area and fathered eight children among three wives. |
