Belt favors made by MaA Dracus. Found on [Amtgard Ephemera]

Belt Favors are worn on the belt to denote Fighting Companies, Households, Class Apprentices, and Order Awards. They can be made of leather, fabric, or even metal.


Here is a consolidation of the different belt favors mentioned in the Amtwiki Awards: (These are not required items, but a way to express ones loyalties, camaraderie, and achievements.)

Official Award Favors

The Amtgard Rules of Play list the following official colors for Masterhood. While it doesn't explicitly name these colors for the respective ladder awards that lead to the Masterhoods, it makes sense to use the same colors for favors.

Masters

Masterhood: Masterhoods are recognition of skill in a field of work. Meeting the criteria below does not automatically grant the associated Masterhood. Masterhoods are granted when a player has both the recommended requirements set forth herein and obvious expertise in their field.

1. Master Rose: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Rose upon earning their tenth Order of the Rose.
2. Master Smith: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Smith upon earning their tenth Order of the Smith.
3. Master Lion: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Lion upon earning their tenth Order of the Lion.
4. Master Crown: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Crown upon earning their tenth Order of the Crown.
5. Master Owl: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Owl upon earning their tenth Order of the Owl.
6. Master Dragon: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Dragon upon earning their tenth Order of the Dragon.
7. Master Garber: A player may be eligible for the title of Master Garber upon earning their tenth Order of the Garber.
8. Warlord: A player may be eligible for the Masterhood title of Warlord upon earning their tenth Order of the Warrior.
9. Battlemaster: A player may be eligible for the Masterhood title of Battlemaster upon earning their tenth Order of Battle.

Some people suggest using the respective matching colors for those ladder awards, but reserving gold accents or trim for Masterhoods only.
