It's been a while since this revamp happened but it's bothered me long enough so I've finally decided to speak up, lol.

[item2=Illustrated Fairy Tale Panel] This was originally the Maidens Favor, revamped September 23, 2019 according to SubetaLodge. The description reading "Often a maiden would give a small favor like this to a suitor, one who probably saved her life..." is no longer applicable, as it is no longer a "favor" and is now a big honkin' panel, by no means small.

There is a "Favor" in the pack, but it has a story fragment as its description, so it can't really fit two descriptions to maintain the old pre-revamp description of the Panel. [item2=Fairy Tale Maiden Favor]

I suppose the easiest option would be to rewrite the Panel description. Maybe to preserve the original description it can be something like "A panel depicting a maiden handing a small handkerchief, also known as a favor, to a knight." followed by the original description.

For some more context and also out of my own curiosity, I decided to internet-search the terminology/history, and a couple pages from Journal Advocate and Shorthistory.org had articles relating to the Middle Ages history surrounding it, with a short passage stating its deal most succinctly:

Quote
A handkerchief used during the Middle Ages was a sign of wealth. A knight-in-shining-armor would wear a lady&;s handkerchief to publicly show he had her favor.

I only vaguely knew the deal around this, so I decided to share the above just in case anyone had the same curiosity I had. XD

Anyway yeah to summarize, Panel needs a description change or an art/name change but the former is easier.
