Stormwind Long Service Medal

The Stormwind Long Service Medal is a service award given to soldiers within the Stormwind Military and its branches who have shown outstanding service between 5-65 years.

It is often awarded to the veteran by their commanding officer, though the level of command will often vary based on the denomination of service the medal is being awarded for.

The medal is distinguished into ten sections, each honouring five years which adds up to a total of 65 years. Following the standard system of signifying multiple awards, the first award (for 5 years) is the standard ribbon, while the next three are signified by a bronze star device, the three after that a silver star, and the four after that a gold star.

Denominations
Both forms of the medal (being the medal itself and the accompanying ribbons) mimick the same system of 1-4 accoutrements collectively increasing from bronze, to silver, and finally to gold.

Every star or bar represents an additional 5 years, with the highest decoration at 65 years, with four gold bars and four gold stars.
