Awards
The life blood of the Kingdoms, with too few we grow pale and die, with too many we drown.
What are they
An award is given to people for excelling in any area of Amtgard. Awards vary greatly from garbing and fighting, to just helping out. Some, like the Dreamkeeper, are particular to their kingdom; others are universal. Kingdoms can all have or if need invent their own awards or titles for anything they see fit. Awards are described in each kingdom's corpora.
How and why should awards be given
Awards are given for merit. Purely and simply. In the Burning lands corpora it is said that 'each ladder award of higher level should be given for a greater level of effort or skill'.
Remember as you look to recognize others for their efforts that each award is an accomplishment. Each should be applauded and hard won. A Class Masterhood or a 1st Order of the Rose might not mean much to you, but it can mean something to awardee if you let it.
Awards and Knighthood
Some awards do lead to knighthood, but that is not their only purpose. And seeking knighthood for it's own sake will prove as empty as the search it's self.
In some kingdoms, such as the Iron Mountains a person qualifying for knighthood must have the requisite Masterhoods in order to be considered for their belt. In others the corpora says 'Should have a masterhood in so-and-so, instead of 'must have a masterhood in so-and-so.
