Alliance Legion of Valor

The Alliance Legion of Valor is the highest military honor awarded to soldiers of the Alliance. The award is given to Alliance soldiers of exceptional military prowess and courage, who save the lives of their fellow comrades or the lives of Alliance citizens during an armed conflict.

Combatants of every branch of the Alliance military may be nominated for the award. Collectively, recipients of the Legion of Valor are known as Heroes of the Alliance.

The award was originally given to the most valorous men and women of the Alliance who fought the Orcish Horde during the First War. Since then, it has persevered as the most prestigious honor awardeds to an Alliance soldier.

Most Legion of Valor medals were awarded during the Third War, but the extended Cold War between the Alliance and Horde has seen nearly 400 soldiers honored with the Legion of Valor.
