VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

 

AWARDED TO THOSE WHO HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KINGDOM, THE ROYAL ORDERS OF MERIT ARE ONES OF GREAT PRESTIGE. The inducted shall be linked to a relevant order in which they have served as paragons. With it comes the honourifics of ‘KOM’, ‘KOA’, or ‘KOU’ to represent Haense and Her people. The orders shall indefinitely be awarded to any Haensemen, regardless of their birth or bloodlines.

 

The Royal Orders of Merit were originally established with the Edict of the Lily Garden of 469 E.S. by King Georg I, named after three of the most notable people of the ages in their pertinent areas. This Edict retired the Civil Knighthood of Queen Maya and the Lily, where these two are distinguished in that those inducted into the Royal Orders of Merit as a Kossar are not permitted to be referred to as a Ser or Dame.

 

We do therefore proclaim the following:

 

THE ROBERTINE ORDER OF MERIT

 

 

KOSSAR OF MERIT (KOM)

Named after the twice-served Lord Palatine, Robert Sigismund, the father of Biharism. Robert of Bihar served at a tumultuous time in Haeseni history, and persevered through the toils of the time, accomplishing many feats and forming the fundamental principles that Haense was founded upon. Robert of Bihar exemplifies the high status of excellence and merit set today that only few achieve and are rewarded for. Individuals who have demonstrated outstanding applied intelligence, administration, and charity may be considered for induction. Those who are deemed worthy will have displayed their promotion of central ideals, institutions and charity in service to the people of Haense.

 

Kossars of the Robertine Order of Merit are entitled to use the signature KOM.

 

THE WAILER ORDER OF ARTS

 

 

KOSSAR OF ARTS (KOA)

Named after the prolific historical author, Alistair Wailer. Alistair Wailer is one of the first and most revered Haeseni authors. He has given us an abundance of books and essays that have broadened the minds of all that have read his collection and inspired many others to take up the quill and add to the ever-expanding library of Haeseni works. Alistair Wailer personifies the artistic and literary nature that our Creator endowed all with, and the gift that only a few use to its full potential. Individuals who have demonstrated outstanding literacy, artistic or musical talent and produced great works may be considered for induction. Those who are deemed worthy will have displayed their skill and masterful works of art in the furthering of their field within Haense.

 

Kossars of the Wailer Order of Arts are entitled to use the signature KOA.

 

THE WALTON ORDER OF THE UNYIELDING

 

 

KOSSAR OF THE UNYIELDING (KOU)

Named after the valiant knight, Ser Walton ‘the Wall’. Ser Walton was Knight Paramount during the reign of King Karl III where he served loyally and diligently until his final breath. In the years prior, he had been the knight to end King Sigismund III’s suffering in a duel to the death by order of the King. Individuals who have demonstrated outstanding loyalty, courage, and leadership in their duties to their Kingdom may be considered for induction. Those who are deemed worthy will have displayed their strong moral character and selfless service in defense of the Crown of Haense.

 

Kossars of the Order of the Unyielding are entitled to use the signature KOU.

THE OATH OF THE KOSSARS
