The Glorious Order of the Halberd

The Glorious Order of the Halberd rewards those who serve the Emperor of the Pyrusian Empire in the Principality of Narlberg and the Confederation of Ogulas (including the Banat of Nontrul, the Banat of Pennsar and the Banat of Selgarn) with distinction. It was established in 1775 by Emperor Cunglas.
Emperor Cunglas established the Order to reward contributions in government and state service. There are no limits to the number of people who may be appointed to each class of this Order and awards are not limited to only men, like The Order of the Garter.
It is awarded at the Sovereign's pleasure as a personal gift on recipients from the Pyrusian Empire. The Order was first awarded in 1775. New appointments to the Glorious Order of the Halberd can be made at any time, but are most often made at the beginning of a New Year.
