Founded by edict of [[Elspeth Keyf of Neddingham]] at her coronation. This was explicitly designed as a "catch-all" award to
cover situations in which the Queen felt that no other award would be appropriate. This was in response to
several awards Elspeth had seen over her long experience in which the statutes were "bent" or compromised to
fit. The QHD is given ''entirely'' at the Queen's whim, for any act, series of acts, or pattern of behavior
she herself feels moved to recognize. Recommendations are neither solicited nor accepted, and there are no
quantity limits per individual or per reign. The token is traditionally, but not necessarily, crafted by
the Queen's own hand.
