Massassi Guard Medal

The Massassi Guard Medal was a decoration of the Royal Army of the Golden Empire, awarded to Massassi warriors who served honorably for three years in a Massassi Guard unit. If a Massassi had otherwise served honorably in the Guard and died defending his assigned protectee, the time requirement was waived.

The Medal was based on the Standard of a Royal Family member, but the Phoenix featured a shield, on which was inscribed in "We Do Not Break", the motto of the Massassi Guard. The entire device was suspended from a dark red and gold ribbon. Massassi who served multiple three-year terms could receive award devices to denote additional periods of service.

Though listed low in the order of precedence of military decorations, the Medal was much coveted by the Massassi themselves, given the intense competition to join the unit and the prestige of protecting Queen Rin Sakaros and her family.
