Star of the Deep
The Star of the Deep is the highest naval honor awarded within the great isle. Forged from pure gold, the medal bears the image of a proud, full-sailed warship sailing beneath an anchor framed by laurels — symbols of command, perseverance, and triumph over the relentless sea. Its ribbon of deep navy blue and ivory stripes represents loyalty and purity of duty upon the endless waters.
Conditions for Award:
This medal is granted only to naval officers who have displayed supreme courage, flawless command, and decisive leadership in a major naval conflict — typically one that determines the fate of fleets or realms. Recipients must have:
- Commanded a vessel or fleet under conditions of overwhelming odds.
- Achieved a strategic victory or saved allied forces from certain destruction through brilliance or valor.
- Shown exceptional composure and tactical genius during storms, ambushes, or high-sea sieges.
- Demonstrated a devotion to crew and kingdom beyond self-preservation, often at great personal risk.
It is said that each Star of the Deep is blessed in the temple of the Sea Father before presentation — ensuring that only those who truly embody the ocean’s courage and resolve are ever deemed worthy to bear it.
