These awards are nominated biannually by members of the Grey Tower and bestowed by the Amyrlin Seat and M'Hael to characters who make In Character contributions that benefit the Tower (either in a specific Big or Major RP, or through broad general role-play threads). The Amyrlin Seat and M'Hael make the final decision in all cases. These are the very highest In Character awards given to characters who are played above and beyond expectations. These awards should be giving in a formal IC ceremony (public or private) but may be given Out of Character if circumstances prevent an In Character ceremony. All awards are displayed on the character's biography to mark of their contribution.
