The awards given by the territorial royally of Vindheim:
note: The name of these awards are still being reviewed, so they are 
likely to change. However, the concepts behind them will very likely 
not. so using these names for now is still allowed.
Bastion - There shall exist in Vindheim an Order which shall be given by 
the Vindheim Coronet(s) only once per reign unto such persons who 
exemplify the spirit of the Dream in Vindheim and inspire the populace 
to greater deeds and service. The candidate should be  a person that 
Vindheim relies upon for the betterment of the Principality, using their 
skills and talents, and by whose absence the Principality would be 
greatly deprived of a valuable member.  This Order shall be called the 
Order of the Bastion of Vindheim, hereinafter referred to as the Order.
Crimson firebolt - this is an award commemorative of a martial event of 
excellence that the Coronet has personally witnessed.

Golden Comb -  If you know about bees, you understand that a honey bee's 
lifespan is only a month or two. When bees are collecting nectar in the 
spring, it's for the benefit of future generations of bees that don't 
yet exist, and they will never see. With a youth order, we wanted to 
evoke that feeling of the passage of time. The youth of Vindheim who 
excel as minors, even despite the limitations of their age and 
circumstances--- we expect them to continue to excel as they grow into 
their majority. With an order, you are admitted once... but even though 
only youth are admitted, you never age out. It is fully our expectation 
that, someday, during court, when the newest member is welcomed into the 
Order, everyone will be able to look around and realize that amongst the 
Knights and the MODs, the Laurels and the Pelicans, the Landeds and 
perhaps even the Crown or the Coronet at the time... that amongst their 
ranks are so many members of the Order of the Golden Comb of Vindheim 
welcoming a new youth with the promise of the future into their midst. 
I'd like to welcome Brendan and Patrick Isaacson as the premiere members 
of the Order.

Golden Dove - members of the territorial royalty who were consort to the 
winner of the tournament.
The Award of the Clavis of Vindheim. Clavis is Latin for key, and the 
key represents the trust and confidence of the Coronet. Each Coronet 
gifts their own key, somehow unique/identifiable to them as a token of 
gratitude, and the recipient carries the key in the future as a visible 
sign of the gratitude of that particular Coronet for their service and 
support. These are the people who take an entourage shift at an event, 
attend the Coronet, help with set-up and tear-down, and otherwise take 
time out of their event to personally help the Coronet with all the 
practicalities of the day.
The Award of the Clavis Clavium of Vindheim. This is Latin for "key of 
keys", and the holders of these also carry the token of a key that is 
somehow unique/identifiable to each Coronet. These keys are to be 
somehow fancier or more elaborate than the Clavis keys from the same 
reign. The Clavis Clavium are tokens of gratitude from the Coronet to 
their core entourage-- the ones who spent countless hours 
behind-the-scenes, the ones who went above and beyond, the entourage 
whose counsel, moral support, discretion, energy, and extensive personal 
service were critical to the success of that particular Coronet.

The Order of the Silver Fountain. These people are recognized for using 
performance art to serve the people around them. Whether they're 
musicians who lend to the ambiance, or singers, or bards, or heralds who 
are crying site/announcing pairings/introducing a procession/making 
court happen--- these are the people whose public performances make our 
day better.

The Order of the Wellspring. Just as performance arts tend to be very 
public, there are artists who use art in a far more private way in order 
to benefit everyone around them. These are the people we rely on to be 
an endless source of all-the-things in terms of artistry. Whether 
they're the scribal teams who spend hundreds of hours making sure we 
have amazing scrolls to commemorate events, or whether they're the 
woodworkers who build things, or the banner makers, or the jewelers and 
metalsmiths, or the people who generously open their homes and lend 
their skill to make sure everyone is well-dressed, or the armorers whose 
workshops are always open--- these are the people who serve via their art.

The Order of the Crimson Bowl. This order is our friendship award, 
recognizing those who do not currently reside within our zip codes, but 
whose love, dedication, and service make them truly one of us in spirit. 
This recognizes the depth of that service, extending the bowl of 
friendship and inviting them to be part of our Vindheim family. It comes 
with certain privileges connected to it--- giving them the right to have 
their voices heard when the Vindheim populace is polled on their 
opinions, as well as allowing them the right to compete for ceremonial 
championships. Because it comes with some very special privileges, this 
one is restricted to a maximum of two new members per Coronet reign.

Award recommendations can be made by emailing their Serene Highnesses at 
their officer email accounts:
