Minas Ithil/Military Decorations

Throughout the course of war, men and women distinguish themselves in battle, setting themselves apart and above their peers. The awards given them for feats on the field of battle serve to display their feats, and distinguish them in way nothing else can. These decorations are not to be taken lightly, blood was shed in the earning of these awards, and good Ithillians died in the acts involved.
