The Western Order of Loyal Friends was created to honor these well-behaved and beloved animals who have become woven into the fabric of our very Kingdom. The token for this recognition is a pendant with a demi-sun inside of a wolf paw print, to be worn by the animal so recognized. The acronym for this recognition is WOLF.

The Order of the Acorn is given to youth who are active in the Kingdom, but not yet adults. The token was determined to be an acorn, as the Oak is a symbol of the West Kingdom. There are three of Acorns that a youth might be recognized with -- The Bone Acorn for Service, the Iron Acorn for skill and knowledge of those areas covered by the Marshallate (such as combat, archery, etc.), and the Copper Acorn for skill and knowledge in the Arts and Sciences. The individual tokens shall be made of the material mentioned in the name of the recognition (Bone, Iron, or Copper).
At Oertha Coronet and Investiture (January 19, 2025) and at Cynagua Investiture (January 25, 2025) Their Majesties Fabian and Eliška announced that this may be given by the Princes and Princesses of these Principalities as well. A brief discussion was held, and this is being put into law, and each Crown may determine whether or not to allow the Principalities to give this recognition during Their reigns.
