Miscellany
Ithriliel also co-authored and published (With Countess Valmai Arcalien N'Enessiel) the first comprehensive Middle Kingdom Seneschal's handbook in 1985. It was the basis for subsequent versions and for running the office as it is even all these years later.
Ithriliel is credited with creating the first Queen's Favor. Ithriliel also created the Order of the Silver Oak for accomplishments in the Sciences, meaning those creative crafts and artistic talents applied directly to physical and practical things. Examples are Armoring, decorative metalwork, jewelry, leatherwork, woodwork, cooking, etc. It was deemed proper to separate such recognition from that given by the Order of the Willow (created by Queen Jessica of the Willows), which originally recognized both the Arts and the Sciences. The Willow was then defined to recognize accomplishments in the Arts; meaning things like calligraphy, illumination, music, needlework, embroidery, etc. The arts and sciences are together recognized as one for those members of the Order of the Laurel who by their accomplishments, determine the State of the Art in all those endeavors.
