"Gold and silk can weigh heavier than any chain when the whole kingdom hangs from them."
Regalia in Everwealth are not mere decorations or baubles of ceremony, they are burdens forged into metal and stone, worn so that others may remember who must bear them. These objects are symbols of living authority, painstakingly crafted to embody the duties, scars, and triumphs of those who hold them. From the weight of The Ram's Horns, the curled circlet that has crowned monarchs since the earliest days of The Civil Age, to the ram-spired scepters of dukes, every piece of regalia ties the present to the oaths of the past. Each item is unique, never replaced lightly, and said to remember the touch of its bearer long after they are gone. To steal or desecrate a piece of regalia is not just treason, it is a curse, a betrayal felt by an entire kingdom. In Everwealth, such objects are revered not for their beauty, but for the quiet, invisible weight they place upon those who dare wear them.
