Cross of Llane

The Stormwind Medal of Honor is the highest award achievable to a Guard (save military decorations during army-related deployments) and is usually achieved through tremendous demonstration of valor in the face of adversity. It may be awarded for a number of criteria, as listed below.

The Stormwind Medal of Honor is treated as the Stormwind Guard's equivalent of the Alliance Legion of Valor. While it is possible for a Guard to receive both decorations, this is exceptionally rare.

Criteria
Any guard may be nominated for the medal of honor - usually through dispatches, or by nomination by peers. However, the majority of recipients are recommended by commanding officers who send a formal nomination to the Office of the Lord High Constable. In order to receive this award, the Guard must reach one or more of the following requirements.
 * The Guard must have displayed tremendous courage in the defense of a fellow Guardsman, or in saving the life of a civilian through extraordinary manners.
 * The Guard has been a key member in the dismantling of a major crime organization or operation or has been an integral piece in critical law enforcement operations and/or deployments.
 * The Guard was captured and/or imprisoned by dangerous criminal groups and refused to compromise the Kingdom of Stormwind or endanger civilian lives, even under extreme adversity.
 * The Guard has committed an exemplary service to the Kingdom of Stormwind through acts of valor in a deployment, leading Guard detachment forces to victory or ensuring a critical mission is fullfilled, even at great costs.
