Eston/Service Medals
To recognize excellence amongst all nobles in the realm of Eston, leadership has implemented a system of medals to distinguish members of the aristocracy amongst their peers.
Criteria for Awarding Medals
As High Marshal of the Armies of Eston, I would like to announce the implementation of a medals system recognizing service, dedication, and selfless service by nobles to the realm of Eston. There are two kinds of medals: Service Medals and Merit Medals. Each are described below:
Service Medals
Service medals are awarded after 100, 300, 500, 700, and 1000-days in the realm of Eston. (After 1000 days, service medals will be awarded at 500-day intervals. For instance, Dead Angel WG has earned the 1000-day medal, and will be the first to earn the 1500-day medal).
Due to the large amount of troop leaders in the realm of Eston, each individual noble will be responsible for watching their days in realm (which can be found in Information -> Troop Leader List) and awarding their medals accordingly. You can then show the medals that you have earned on your family's Wiki page. You may also use these medals in applying for positions in the realm.
A service medal shows that you have been dedicated to the realm and added value to the Crown by your service to it.
Merit Medals
Medals awarded for merit are only awarded by a competent authority for service to the realm concurrent with the reason for the medals being awarded.
Eston Aristocracy Service Medal
Awarded by the Shield Commander, the noble's superior liege, or anyone on the Royal Council who have served the realm of Eston honorably and actively for a period of at least 30 days.
Eston Valiance Medal
The Eston Valiance Medal can be awarded by any region commander or higher to anyone in their charge for r nobles that willingly face danger without flinching, ensuring the betterment of Eston. This medal recognizes the valiant bravery shown in and out of combat.

The Eston Distinguished Service Medal is for the noble that has served in a position on the Royal Council (Ruler, Judge, General, Banker) or as a Duke or Duchess with distinction.
