Revision as of 16:58, 27 December 2014
The Cluster of Ice serves as the counterpart to the Cluster of Fire and is awarded for exceptional performance in fiction competitions and the Antei Combat Centre. The ditanium disk is treated by a special process that gives it a frosty coat, with rings embossed to support a stylized symbol of ice, and powdered sapphires to give a glistening appearance to the highlights. The cluster is meant to represent those fighters able to keep a cool head in battle, contrary to the fiery intensity exemplified in gaming. Those who boast quantities of both clusters are among the most cunning warriors and brilliant tacticians in the Brotherhood.
