The 9 Euluska Crowns

There were Nine Euluskan Crowns (Euluska: Tei Euluska Kirúnasi). Every single Euluskan Emperor wore a crown - crowns tended more towards circlets than actual over-the-head-things in Indratera, it was just the way noble culture developed. Even other cultures valued circlet crowns rather than hat crowns.
Depending on which noble House the various Rulers of the Euluskan Empire belonged to, they wore the corresponding crown. They were commissioned in celebration when a noble family fist had a scion on the throne - so the newest was the de'Ferrva crown, made in the 1330s when Estrik Vitelerya ('the great') ascended. This crown was designed by the legendary Romantic artist Vanyaretta. Most rulers also paired it with the official robe for ceremonial events, the Robe of the Kingmaker, an ermine cloak with ermine mantle which Regulus Kingmaker was killed wearing in 26 TE.
One of the few Emperors to wear two crowns was Empress Dateriä II. She had a special right to wear the crown of her two parent families - Disforza & Calinezzi.
The Nine Crowns' details.
House 	Euluskan Name 	Equivalent Name 	Description
Azoälda 	Kirúna Karalja 	The Imperial Crown 	A simple rectangular latticework of a copper-gold alloy. The gold is from Lyskeiön and the copper from Brist, representing how they were first to become a union. Presented to Regulus Kingmaker by the elite smiths of the Alderei alongside his other coronation gift... the black blade.
Azrapi 	Kirúna Vekada 	The Knotted Crown 	A gold silk rope and a blue silk rope, tied in a sailor's knot. Each is woven with soft fibres, and each has sewn onto it four large pearls (8 in total). Starch-stiffed to sit in place looking loose.
Calinezzi 	Kirúna Thasafonamu	The Jade Crown 	A chunky torc formed of one smooth extraordinary piece of nephrite jade, worked to an almost-complete circle without breaking. Has two small curled motifs at its ends, above which are set two megalodon teeth. This crown is usually worn angled upwards and above the hair.
Castaldo 	Kirúna Latxaravi 	The Nautilus Crown 	A half-circlet of interwoven black iron, capped at each end with a large white pearl. Above the wearer's ears are two large, perfectly identical nautilus seashells, white with brown striations. The shells have been covered in a thin layer of mother-of-pearl. The insides of the shell are gold laquered. To have a left-handed nautilus is rare, let alone an identical dopplegänger of another!
de'Ferrva 	Kirúna Hymsoü 	The Hart Crown 	A large, wide set of platinum antlers, modelled on those of the male Maestrien Isle Deer. The rest of the circlet is an iron chain. In between the antlers is a large and perfect amethyst gem. Designed by the legendary Romantic artist Vanyaretta and first worn in 1336 by Estrik Vitelerya.
de'Seditus	Kirúna Reksvano 	The Wapiti (Moose) Crown	A huge, striking pair of antlers made of rose gold, modelled after those of the Rakkimarran Bull Moose. Incredible and massive. At the nape of the antlers sits a huge, fine labradorite.
Decimus 	Kirúna Sanktara 	The Saints' Crown 	A crown made of a marbled mixture of gold, bronze, red-cold, and rose-gold. It was the shape of a pair of compound wings above each ear, with a bird's beak and plume above the forehead, into which was set a small but dazzling fire diamond. The feathers were very well-engraved and looked almost real.
di'Sforza 	Kirúna Tenovilado 	The Conqueror's Crown 	Looked like a laurel wreath - but was actually an expertly crafted wreath of emerald, garnet, tourmaline, jade, and green sapphire. Worn angled slightly upwards. At the back, it connected to a separate piece, a nine-rayed gold mantle that mimicked heavenly rays.
Fiexko 	Kirúna Sficë 	The Blind Crown 	An inverted semicircular disk with four slits in it, made of a gold-platinum alloy. Connected to a loose gold circlet-chain which had several strings of thinly woven gold thread dangling from it. The disk gave the illusion of covering the eye, to show humility before Maiöna and devotion above humanity, but because of the placement of the slits, a ruler could still see!
