Description
The Cluster of Ice is a disc of ditanium, treated by a special process that makes the metal look as though it is permanently coated in frost. With rings embossed and polished to support a stylized symbol of ice, powdered sapphires are used to give a glistening and cool appearance to the highlights. The motif is meant to represent the power that can be found in keeping a cool head in battle, the counterpart to the fiery intensity that is awarded with the Cluster of Fire. Those who boast a great number of these medals are known as some of the most cunning warriors and brilliant tacticians that the Brotherhood has to offer.
Awarded For
The Cluster is awarded for fiction activity and excellence in sanctioned competitions and activities.
All Voice-sponsored fiction competitions award Clusters of Ice based on the word count of the submitted entry. Clusters for fiction are awarded at one (1) CI per five hundred (500) words.
The Antei Combat Center awards 0.5 Clusters of Ice per post for any combatant that does not time out, even if their opponent does. The amount of clusters awarded to the winner of a battle is doubled, but note that timed out matches will not be judged and will not have a winner. This yields the following table for completed battles:
