THE HIGHEST HONOURS

 

THE GOLDEN CROW OF VALOR

 Symbolized by a golden crow on a black field, the Golden Crow of Valor is the highest medal available in the Haense Royal Army. It is given to those that performed far beyond what is expected, a miracle through god to Haense. The medal given and pinned by the King Himself.

 

THE QUEENS CROSS 

The golden medal itself made up of a crown encircling a sword, the Queens Cross is given to those brave enough to step out despite their own best interest, and to save another. The medal of Valor is given out by the Queen Herself, to both Soldiers and Citizenry that show great valor and courage to save the life of another. 

 

MEDALS OF HONOUR AND ACTION

 

THE CROSS OF ST.KARL

 A golden cross with the initials K.B. inscribed into it, the Cross of St.Karl is only given out posthumously. Not simply to those who die in battle, but those that die in battle as a martyr in service of the Kingdom. The Cross is named after St. Karl Barbanov, the progenitor of the Haeseni State

 

THE CROSS OF WOLDZMIR

 A golden Hussariyan Cross on a circular white background, the Cross of Woldzmir is a medal given to those who have defended their brothers in faith against tremendous odds while facing those of opposing religion. The Cross is named after the famed warrior-woman Saint Emma Vladov and her strategic powers during the Schismatic wars of 1490.

 

THE SPARROWS VALOR

 A black flying sparrow across a yellow shield, the Sparrows Valor is given to those who have proven capable of leading men. It is named after Saint Thomas of Gaekrin, the once Crown Prince of Kaedrin who led countless victories in conquering the Elven State of Malinor, and defending against the invading Dwarven Armies of the First Human-Dwarf war.

 

THE VYDRIAN BANNER

 A red gryphon on a black banner, ordained in gold, the Vydrian Banner is awarded to the men who rally and defeat a greater force against all odds. It is named after the Late Orenian King Andrik Vydra, who took a broken Akovian people and led them to victory against the violent hordes of Schismatic Heretics, Orcish screamers, and Dwarven legionaries. A nearly impossible accommodation to achieve, but a great honour.

 

THE BULWARK OF TOBIAS

  A red and black tower overlaying a grey shield background, the Bulwark of Tobias is awarded to those who have shown great acts of valor during a defensive siege. It is named after the famous defense of Mount Augustus led by Tobias ‘Rosebud’ Carrion during the Orenian Civil War of 1456.

 

 

THE CROSS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE

  A golden shield background with the black silhouette of a soldier holding his sword high in the air with obvious pride. The cross is given to those soldiers that preform beyond what is expected for the sake of the Kingdom. They are the first out the doors of the barracks doors, the first with their helmets on, and the first on the field. These are the people that we need in the Haense Royal Army, that we depend on.

 

BATTLE SPECIFIC MEDALS

 

THE TWO EMPERORS STAR

  Two golden crowns, one rightside up and one under it, upside down, on a silver star. The medal was given to veterans that participated in the War of Two Emperors.

 

THE SIEGE OF REZA MEDAL

  A golden medal with the image of the City of New Reza with a victorious Brotherhood Soldier standing over it, carrying a Golden Crow. The medal was awarded to any who fought in the defense of New Reza, Haense, against the Alliance of Independent States. The siege was considered a success as the city never fell to the AIS.

 

THE HANGMANS BRIDGE STAR

  A golden star with the silhouette of Hangmans Bridge. A medal of service during the AIS war, for a victorious field battle at Hangmans Bridge outside of New Reza, given to the soldiers that participated in the battle.

THE VASILAND STAR

  A star with a golden serpent wrapping through it, the Vasiland Star was given to those that fought to regain the taken keep of Vasiland in 1771. The seat of House Vanir was initially overtaken by the Scyfling Invaders, before multiple attempts and a year-long siege was enacted to retake the keep.

 

NON-COMBATIVE DECORATIONS

 

LABOR ACHIEVEMENT RIBBON

  A ribbon given to those who have worked tirelessly for the maintenance of functionality.

 

ARMY RECRUITMENT RIBBON

  A ribbon given to those who actively recruit for the HRA.

 

RESOLVE SERVICE RIBBON

  A ribbon given to those who have served a minimum of 8 years within the Army.

[Sarven 1691]

*would be dusting off his medals and would readjust his medal on his armor* "Ahh, ye'old'en days"

[UnBaed 8910]

“Wait, I could have gotten like four medals!” Arianne Helvets said from The Seven Skies, pointing down from the heavens.  “Damn that Scyfling and his aim!” 

[erictafoya 2302]

“Finally! I hope those who have fallen get their medals before us!”

 

[Legoboy7984 2441]

“Personally, I think those who were on calvary who almost died in the Second Siege of Metterden should be given a medal. We had to charge against a larger opposition for the sake of Haense’s defense and the Ruthern families home.”

Siegmund frowns as he looks at his empty medal display case.

[grnappa 1230]

Sir Erik Othaman smiles as he looks to his Siege of Reza and Hangman's Bridge medals awarded to him a few saint's months ago, quietly reminiscing about his teen years in the army.
