Awarded to Guardsmen or Craftsmen who have organized quests (in the militia theme) where a number of guardsmen participated, multi-guild events, running plotlines, or anything else of that nature deemed suitable by Command.

	The King's Silver Pen	A fine medal with a silver pen engraved onto it.	Recognition for a serious, well made, useful and updated document or addition to the Militia tome. (example could have been adding an extensive picture gallery, a history archives, or some sort of private news site - boards and other such things, we will keep limited, so that no spam may be generated)
	Wisdom's Cross	A cross engraved with a book upon.	For a really good invention adding to the Militia's culture and enjoyment. Merely comming up with the idea doesn't count. It must be something that fits, and is in a roleplaying context. Nothing such trivial as "dungeon crawls" (good example could have been those who invented the roadblock, the taxation and escorts, the last man standing and the Orders section) Also, you must have brought it to life by promoting the idea, and talking it over with others.
	The Iron Heart	It is a small iron heart, that you with a delicate silver chain straps around your Ankh.	An addition to The King's Ankh, rather than a medal of it's own. It is a small iron heart, that you with a delicate silver chain strap around your Ankh. It is a sign of eternal devotion to the Militia, and means that you will for all times serve, and the day you are gone, the day you are dead. (ooc meaning: "I stay in the Militia, as long as I play uo, and I will always stay true to it's spirit." - I've seen a few players promise this, and I felt they should gain some recognition for this grand promise.) This is the only medal you may actually ask for, but you won't be given it unless the Command really does believe you will hold the oath, and you have shown strong devotion for the Militia cause and spirit. (taken in a vote). The Iron Heart does count as a medal towards nobility.
	The British Crest	A medal engraved with a sword, heart and scroll forming a tri-union.	In the event of great heroic and epic deeds, involving a lot of guardsmen (the fame of one single guardsman isn't enough - he has to have lead many in this glorious deed, and somehow stood out). It has to be something legendary, that is spoken of and known about through ages to come, and publicly well known far away even from Yew. The ceremony must take place within the walls of the Lord British's castle.
	The King's Bronze [Insert Trade Symbol]	Instead of the Ankh handed to guards, this is awarded the craftsmen.	The Bronze medals match the time a craftsman has been with the Militia, 6/12/18 years. The icons, which one could earn all of, would be handed out for helping the Militia in that area. Helping isn't repairing or gathering resources, it is more than that. To obtain a silver or gold medal the craftsmen has to be a grandmaster in that skill. Guardsmen can also obtain one of these medals if they have shown the above criteria. The symbol differs for each area of expertize. Skilled smiths are first rewarded with a bronze Anvil, carpenters get a bronze Saw. Hardworking herbalists and tailors would be admired their bronze Mortars and Needles respectively etc.
