The '''[[Order of the Desert Heart]]''', originally called the Royal Order of the Desert Heart, is the highest order among the [[Orders of Calsahara]] created by [[Grand Duke Travis|King Montague]] on 20 November 2009. It was created by the King as a way to recognize service and friendship to [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].
The '''[[king penguin]]''' is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on [[krill]] and other crustaceans than most [[Southern Ocean]] predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of [[Antarctica]], South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in [[Westarctica]].


As the Overlord of Calsahara, [[Grand Duke Travis]] is the current font of honor for the order, although previously, it could be awarded by either [[Prince Daniel Nicholas|King Nicholas]] or the Dictator for Life.  The regalia for the order is a silver and turquoise heart suspended from a red and green ribbon. Turquoise is a common semi-precious stone found desert areas in the North American southwest and the red and green ribbon contain the colors of the original flag of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].


The first recipient of the order was [[King Christopher of Vikesland]] ''(pictured)''.

The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.
