Other Awards

Order of the Forget-Me-Not

This award is for individuals who do not reside within the Barony of Selviergard who have considerably supported Selviergard through diverse means.

The token for this award has not been determined at this time.

Autocrat's Token

This award, which can be received many times, is traditionally given by the Baroness to those who have autocratted an event. The tokens are chosen by the Baroness and can be any item or token desired. Because Baron Halfdan reigns by himself; he has chosen to give out Autocrat's Tokens as well to continue with tradition in honoring those hard working individuals who spend time and energy creating events for others to enjoy.

Baroness Margarita chose to give rings of which many were silver. Baroness Katarzina chose to give beads. Baroness Étaín chose to give beads as well. Baron Halfdan chooses to give rings of bronze.

Warlord and Falcon

The titles of Warlord and Falcon were once given to the winner and the consort of those who entered the Warlords Tournament in days before the group was a Barony. When the group became a Barony the honor was termed as the Baroness' Champion. Because Baron Halfdan reigns by himself and is not in need of a Champion he has revived this title and honor for the winner and the consort of the Warlord's Tournament.

In the past, the token for this honor was an axe pendant for the Warlord and a mantle for the Falcon. At this time, the Barony of Selviergard is working on crafting replacements for these two items.
