Dorvish Cross

The Dorvish Cross (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz) is a military award granted by the Armed Forces of Dorvik upon recommendation of an officer of the Dorvish Armed Forces. The award was first created prior to the outbreak of the first Dorvish-Kanjorian War in the early 22nd century.Dorvik Cross 1st Class with Honourary Oak Leaves and Swords (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=79219) The Dorvish Cross is taken from the Dundorfian Cross (Dundorfian: Dundorfisches Kreuz) which is almost identical with the exception of different colors. 
The Dorvish Cross was initially awarded with two class the Dorvish Cross (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz) and the Dorvish Cross with Oak Leaves (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz mit Eichenlaub). The award was eventually granted higher levels due to different levels of valor displayed by the Dorvish military and their exploits around the world. Three further classes were added the Dorvish Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern), the Dorvish Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten) and finally the Dorvish Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (Dundorfian: Dorvisches Kreuz mit Goldenem Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten).
The Dorvish Cross is the next award following the Iron Cross, which is a widely awarded award throughout many former lands of the Dundorfian Empire. The Iron Cross was the symbol of the Dundorfian Empire's Reichsheer and serves as a traditional military symbol of the Dundorfian people throughout the world.
