Medal of Patience

The Medal of Patience is a medal awarded only to Guards enlisted through law enforcement regiments. It is often awarded for an extended deployment, often due to commendable attitudes to service, dutiful service in occupied or hostile environments in which the Stormwind Guard is present, or it may additionally be awarded simply for a deployment in which the Guard had shown exemplary traits in a wide variety of fields.

As such, the Medal of Patience is a common award, due to its ambiguity. A large number of the Medal was awarded to thousands of Guards who were stationed in tumultuous regions such as the Redridge Mountains (during the Blackrock invasion), or Westfall, which has seen the highest number of recipients in response to the Defias Brotherhood.
