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 '''[[San Joaquin kit fox]]''' is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the [[Carrizo Plain]].


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 San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.
