Naevehjem Baronial Awards

The text below is read at the Baronial Court, after which the person receiving the award is named and called forth for the presentation.

Service	Well is it known that a Barony lives by those who serve it. So too, should a Barony recognize those people who, by act and deed, distinguish themselves. Thus was created the Order of the Dragons Wing.
Arts and Sciences	When a person excels in an artistic skill or scientific expertise in this Barony, Naevehjem as a whole well benefits from the artisan who does ply this trade. Thus was created the Order of the Dragons Gem.
War	Long must the Barony of Naevehjem stand to guard the Northeastern borders of the Kingdom from all who might set their covetous eyes upon Caid. Those who guard must diligently hone their skills at arms so that they can turn away any marauders. The Barony, therefore, recognizes the need to promote the populous fighting skills by recognizing those who have shown a strong ability to fight in at least one weapon style, so our enemies shall know the agony of defeat. Thus was created the Order of the Dragons Foot.
Special Act	There are times when one may serve the Barony of Naevehjem and the Kingdom of Caid with such extreme effort or in such an unforeseen manner that those touched by this person are utterly enriched. So it is that the Baron and Baroness of Naevehjem have created their special Order of the Dragons Blaze to so honor those people who give of themselves to the utmost for the vast benefit of others.
Elite Guard	When a member of the Naevehjem's Militia excels in the persistence of heavy weapons arms and maintains a goal of excellence, we recognize this individual as a member of the Elite Guard. This individual is responsible for maintaining excellence by public display and aiding in the training of other fighters of our territory.

A persons initial award is a painted bronze pendant made by Baronial members. For the second and subsequent awards an Augmentation is bestowed, being a glass bead of a particular design and worn on the chain of the first award.
