Additional Information

Stars

The Sosarian Denizen Registry displays the ribbon-style awards (which appear to the right of the description of each award). In some cases, these ribbons may have stars overlaid upon them. The significance of the stars is to indicate multiple receipt of that particular award.

The second through fourth times someone receives the same award, a bronze star is displayed (up to 3). The fifth through seventh times, a silver star is displayed (up to 3). And the eighth through tenth receipt is denoted by a gold star (up to 3). After a tenth receipt, the receipt is recorded upon this page, but no further changes are made to display of stars.

History

The Kingdom Awards were initially proposed by Councilor Jakob Covenant of Minoc, and approved during a session of the High Council of Britannia. These awards, to be granted by vote of the High Council, are to be awarded to exemplary citizens.
