Orders, decorations, and medals of Imperial Sevicia

Medals and decorations given under Imperial Sevicia are mostly military awards given to decorated members of the Sevician high command, usually generals, majors, and members of the Grand Council. Most awards, with the exception of the Iron Crest, can only be awarded by the reigning Imperator, and are additive; when a higher award is given, the lower award (and its medal, or ribbon) may be kept and worn separately.

## Orders of the High Command

Separated into five medals with ribbons, the Orders of the High Command are awarded solely to officers of the Sevician military by the reigning Imperator, for acts of outstanding bravery, loyalty, or service to the Empire. Only one person in the past fifty years is the recipient of the highest honour, general Petr Engarden, who led Sevician forces against the rebel Anaean League in the Anaean Wars.
