	The original token was a bracelet that came from the [[Kingdom of the West]], and was said to have belonged to the Bard of the West of that time. It arrived in the (then) [[Principality]] of Lochac in XXXVI (2001-2002), shortly before it ~~was made into~~ a kingdom. It was made by twisting three strands, one gold, one silver, and one copper, into an open bracelet, with animal heads on the ends.
