With draconic imagery fresh in their minds, the artists and creative
visionaries of the Basin put their minds to the Trail of Beauty. The
challenge was clear: craft an item capturing the essence of the Basin's
most recent legendary visitors. Only in this manner could the one worthy
of the Medallion of Beauty be found.

Amazing creations both large and small have been crafted and sent forth
for judging. The process was neither simple nor swift for many an
amazing design have been submitted. In the end, it was the design of
Coraline Myeras of Gaudiguch that won - a pellucid pedestal of Yugomaru
achieved. In a fashionable mix of silver and glass, the pedestal speaks
to the desires of Mature Dragons and presents the crux of the problem
they faced.

Second place was awarded to Misericorde Coldwater of New Celest, for her
translucent dragon lantern veined with silver cracks.

Third place was awarded to Aramel Shevat of Hallifax, for her
shattered-crystal chandelier of frozen dragonfire.

Fourth place was awarded to Sapphira d'Vanecu of Magnagora, for her
imposing crown bearing a smog-wreathed dragon.

Fifth place was awarded to Khnemu of Gaudiguch, for their shield of
layered wings.

Though these five designs rose to conquer all others, the following
designs merit honourable mention
for their craftsmanship and interpretation of the Avenger's theme:

o Niralahi Coldwater of New Celest (a vibrant robe depicting a battle of
water and fire)
o Yinuish La'Saet of New Celest (an elaborate shield enchased with
brilliantly enamelled draconic figures)
o Vatul Feyranti of Magnagora (a queenly moon-silver ring of timeless
dreams)
o Kailanna n'Kylbar of Magnagora (a scaled, semi-translucent pocket
watch)
o Esei Shee-Slaugh of Glomdoring (a sleeping red dragon crown trailing
sheets of silk)
o Kalas Vexacion of Magnagora (a skin-clothed chandelier of draconic
remains)
o Vylasse of New Celest (an octagonal antique silver jewelrybox gripped
by jewel-studded dracnari claws)

Penned by My hand on the 7th of Estar, in the year 564 CE.
