Baronial Awards
Order of the Estoille - given for long-term service to the Barony. People receiving this award have usually been members of the barony for several years, have held one or more offices, are often instrumental in keeping the baronial activities on track, and are examples for all to follow.
Order of the Silver Swan - given not only to those who produce arts and sciences that clothe us, feed us, armor us, and entertain us, but also to the historians who research, teach and publish.
Friends of the Barony (Order of the Stout Heart) is given to those hardy souls who, although not members of the Barony, have traveled frequently to our isolated lands, have aided, encouraged (and sometimes incited) us in war and peace, and have generally been our friends, especially back in ancient times when it was not politically wise to be such a friend.
Companions of the Bear Claw - those who have displayed ferocity on the field of combat or war.
The Gilded Lily - given for exceptional deaths on the field. The Lily and Bear Claw were designed to be awarded as often as deserved, and recipients are entitled to display a gold lily or a bear paw somewhere on his or her armor (on the helm was the practice in early baronial history). Neither has been given for some time, but I would certainly like to see these qualities displayed on the field so they could be acknowledged.
Baroness' Recognition - Created to be given when deemed appropriate, and as often as earned.
The Silver Star - Award for Children's achievements in Chivalry, Arts/Sciences and Service.
Silver Skillet - For skills in Cooking.
Companions of the Polar Bear - Served as Captain of Winter's Gate
Companions of the Snow Drop - Served as the Heart of Winter's Gate
