It must be a complete sentence, with a period on the end.
No exclamation points, no question marks, no multiple periods.
The main noun in the sentence must be the same as the pattern name.
Things like "A cloak is hanging from a peg here." are not acceptable. If it were dropped on the highway there is no peg to hang from.
Dropped description should be kept to about one line.

Must begin with a capital letter and must end with a period. Use full sentences. Multiple sentences are fine.
Be descriptive.
Examined description should be a few sentences long describing what the item looks like.

Descriptions should not impose an opinion on the reader.
Nothing that a craftsman could not reasonably create.
Clockwork is inappropriate for the Achaean setting and may not be used.
Use appropriate materials. You can't make a shirt out of living skin or pure gold.
Achaea also does not have "modern" materials and clothing features like velcro, denim, polyester (or any synthetic fabric), zippers, sweatshirts, and so on.
Metal that may not be used is mithril, orichalcum, and bloodsteel.

Available base materials are, in order of value: Bone, Steel, Silver, Gold, Platinum.
Nothing that is alive or was previously alive (excluding bone) maybe used in jewellery.

The following anachronistic foods and terms are not allowed: pizza, tacos, hot dogs, pancakes, waffles, fondue, jellybeans, gummianything (bear, worm, etc).
No ingredients may still be alive.
Food may not have a face.

Use UK, not US spellings. (Except when using measurements, in which case use Imperial.)

The possessive form of common nouns ending in 's' should retain the possessive 's', example: dress's.
