Service Awards

  • Order of the Silver Dolphin

This is a first level service award. The person being considered to receive this award should have played in the Barony for a minimum of a year and have consistently participated in work parties, volunteered for event functions such as gate, constabulary, marshaling, etc., been willing to do set up and/or take down for events and other functions, and just generally been ready and able to offer a helping hand without being prodded.

  • Order of the Golden Estoille (formerly called the Order of the Star Fish)

This is the second level service award. A person being considered to receive this award has probably played with the Barony more than five years and has consistently given of his or her time and talents during that entire time. This person may have held several offices or autocratted many events or cooked many feasts, or may even have been a member of the Sergeantry for several years. He or she should have already received a Silver Dolphin.

  • Order of the Green Bear

This is a new award and is regarded as a third level service award. We do not expect to give out more than 3 or 4 of these awards during any 12-month period of time. The person being considered for this award would have a long history of consistent selfless service to the Barony and would probably already have been given a Silver Dolphin and a Golden Estoille or have performed an unusual and outstanding service which was beyond the usual level of expectation of one of our members.

Arts and Science Awards

  • Order of the Plate (formerly called the Order of the Sand Dollar)

This is the first level arts and sciences award. Again, a person who is being considered for this award should have been playing with the Barony for at least 12 months and is always ready to contribute to the beauty of events through decorations, the knowledge base of the Barony through participating in arts and sciences contests and/or through teaching his or her skills to others.

  • Order of the Blue Stag

This is the second level arts and sciences award. A person who is being considered for this award should have already received a Plate and have played with the Barony for more than five years. He or she should have a long history of consistently being available to teach or otherwise share his or her skills or knowledge. He or she has probably held office as Baronial scribe, herald, minister of arts and sciences, or one of the deputy positions such as bardic or dance deputy. He or she may have won championships within our own or other branches, or taught Ithra classes. He or she may have made items of regalia. He or she may be a Courtier within the Sergeantry for several years.

  • Order of the Kraken

This is another new award and is the third level arts and sciences award. Again, we do not expect to give out more than 3 or 4 of these awards during any 12-month period of time. The person being considered for this award would have a long history of consistent selfless artistic service to the Barony and would probably already have been given a plate and a Blue Stag or have exhibited an unusual and outstanding talent or knowledge base beyond the usual level of expectation of one of our members. He or She would have taken joy in sharing the fruits of his or her labors for the glory of the Barony by providing regalia items and/or event prizes. He or she would spend time helping others become proficient within the arts and sciences of the middle ages.

Youth Awards

(youth awards are available only to those who are less than 16 years of age and have played with the Barony for more than a year)

  • Order of the Sea Horse

This is a service award. The youth who is being considered for this award would be one who actively volunteers to help others by doing such tasks as water-bearing, running errands, and helping set up or take down event sites.

  • Order of the Butterfly

This is an arts and sciences award. The youth who is being considered for this award is not only interested in creating arts and sciences items and entering arts and sciences competitions, but also is willing to teach his or her skills to others.

  • Order of the Red Boar

This is a new award given for chivalry. The youth who is being considered for this award displays all the courtesy, care and honor expected from a gentle person, not only for those who are older but also to his peers. Many of our young people know and are willing to extend the proper forms of address, exemplary manners, and great respect to those around them, and we feel that this attitude should not only be encouraged, but should be celebrated.
