[Hartwood] ... Awards

[Freydis Fenrisfuri]

actually, all stag awards were different depending on who was making them. 
i preferred to do embroidered cloth because they could be worn into combat 
and stepped on.  HL Tarren's silver stag is a painted medallion, Gillian did 
crossstitch, i heard of some stag tags burned into antler medallions

Hey, do you know what form the token took? I've never actually seen one, and 
I have a bunch that needs stitching by Fowl War. (I was told it was a belt 
favour?)

I think Snaer has one, I may ask him for a picture...
