A Pryapt is the proper name for the gold-wrapped feathers that adorn the wings of some W'hoorn warriors in Benu Wen.
After The Right to Challenge has been called, and the combat is concluded, the right pinion feather of the losing combatant is removed before being gilded, which in this context means being wrapped in a fine layer of ultra-light gold silk, to ensure that the item is as light as possible, in a highly skilled traditional process known as pingilding.
After a feather has been pingilded, is it known as a Pryapt.
It is then given to the champion, to adorn their own wing.
A fringe of Pryapts is called a Tectrix.
