Feather Jewelry

Feathers play a major role in Hawkbrother courtship, feathers are exchanged between friends, lovers and long term mates. They fill the role of flowers and jewelry, as single unadorned feathers can be exchanged, or the feathers can be embellished and made into ornaments to wear.

During the time of the mage storms, Hawkbrother Darkwind and Princess Elspeth played a major role in protecting Valdemar and sparked the fashion in feather jewelry. Groups in Valdemar very quickly established their own colors and proudly displayed their new feather jewelry.
