Annex 7 - Whiffling Crowns

Crowns are a special type of accessory for Whifflings-- if a Whiffling has a crown, it is a treasured and rare item. It may seem a bit antiquated in human society, but many Whifflings have heard fairy tales and stories considering they themselves have been compared to fae and similar, being little imps, and find the majesty of them enthralling.

Of note, it has been seen that flowers or other natural materials (leaves, etc) for crowns are used by general Whifflings. A Whiffling who finds enough flowers in the wild for such a creation is celebrated, though some just use faux flowers. All other crowns are restricted types. There are three types or ranks of crowns, Copper, Silver, and Gold.

Copper is the lowest rank, it grants you a Copper crown, of course. This crown can have any number of gems, but may only be of copper metal. Any style is allowed, and other less “plant based” natural material like stone are allowed as well.

Silver is the middle rank, it grants you a Sterling Silver crown. It can also have gemstones, but must be made from silver, or silver mixed with copper pieces. Something silly or fun like a food crown or similar “type” of uncommon “scent” crown would work as well at this level.

Gold is the highest rank, it grants you a Gold (white, rose, or yellow color) crown. Like the others, it can have inset gemstones- but can have gold, silver, and copper metals mixed and with different inlays. At this point, any other materials you can dream of are also allowed.

You can include the Crown the Whiffling is wearing on the Masterlist Image, but it is not required. It will be given the crown trait appropriate for what it has earned regardless.
When you gain a new crown, you can update the Masterlist Image with no Snapshot required as long as you are simply adding the crown and not having other design updates. (Note, you can have a different pose/art piece as the reference.)

Whifflings earn their crowns through helping others, humans primarily. There has been a network of recording “Marks of Recognition” through which a Whiffling can gain or upgrade a crown.

Marks of Recognition are a character-attached currency, meaning that you have to earn them with the Whiffling who you want to get the crown for.
Whifflings earn one (1) Mark for every completed Crown Task (see the Bulletin Board below for a list of tasks).

Marks of Recognition act as milestones, meaning that a Whiffling earns crowns once they own the following amounts:
1 - Copper Crown
3 - Silver Crown
6 - Golden Crown

1. Choose and complete a Crown Task from the Bulletin Board. (Make sure to choose a task from the correct season!)
   1. Please note that you may only collaborate on a Crown Tasks if you and the collaborator co-own every participating Whiffling.
2. Submit your completed artwork/writing to the Crown Tasks gallery folder.
3. Submit your gallery link to the Crown prompt. Make sure to mention which task you completed!
   1. If the Mark being earned by this submission is your Whiffling's first/third/sixth, please mention this in the prompt submission so they can be granted their Crown trait!
4. Your Whiffling(s) will then receive their Mark(s), as well as potentially their next Crown trait(s)!
5. Alternatively... I've heard that Wads of Cash can automatically grant you 1 Mark of Recognition. Read more in the Crown prompt.
