Papermaker Awards are customizable paper awards. They can be made via a Tier 9 Papermaker. They are customized by adding various things to the award or otherwise manipulating it before using TWIST to complete its design. Once completed, the award turns into a ribbon.

Award

The award can be customized by adding a ribbon to change its appearance and an ore to change the type of embroidery. It can also support a short missive, which is included as part of the completed award's SHOW/LOOK description, as well as a detailed missive, which is included as a READ on the completed award's back. Once completed, it is turned into the finished award ribbon via TWIST.

Adding a ribbon will change the award from its originally base appearance (typically "a simple award") to the ribbon; you will need to interact with a "ribbon" noun instead of an "award" from that point onward.

Papermaker Award
Created using the famous papermaker, the award can be customized to fit your needs.  Please be sure to GLANCE at the award to see what your customization options are.  Once you've completed the design, you can TWIST to lock in the design.  This will turn it into your award and prevent the recipient from changing the designs and fields.
