Warbanners are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual Dark Jedi on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the Warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans. Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the Herald. Under no circumstances is a member to design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, as they are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.

Medallions and Tassets

Warbanner medallions are given to members who have served as an Aedile or higher. The only exemption to this is if one has served as a Praetor for a minimum of 6 months. The warbanner medallion is used to identify the unit or family that a member belongs to or the Brotherhood office that a Dark Councilor represents. The tassets are miniature medallions that are placed to the side of the main medallion. To qualify for these, you must reach the rank of ACC:I for the Antei Combat Center Society, GMRG:I for First Echelon: 1 in the Royal Guard, and SA:I for Shadow Academy Society to qualify for these ornaments. Finally, there is one Order medallion for the rank of DJK and above. The SA and Order tassets require a second rail to help maintain. If only the SA or only the Order tasset is requested, it will be placed in the middle over the warbanner medallion. These are selectable in the Warbanner Request Form.

Additional Options

When a member reaches the rank of GMRG:IV, SA:IV, and ACC:IV, they have the option of requesting those respective patterns (examples above) instead of a stripe.

The Warbanner of a Guardian (the lowest rank in the Brotherhood that is able to request a warbanner) will be much less ornate than those of higher ranks. As one progresses through the ranks, more elaborate styles become available. Also, position in the Brotherhood does not exempt one from receiving more ornate options. For example, one can receive both the SA, ACC and GMRG tassets (examples above) as long as they are qualified to carry them, regardless of rank.
