The '''Boreal Order of the North Star''' is a [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] (NSTA) order of chivalry, rewarding contributions in defense of NSTA and its member states. The Order was established by [[Riordan VIII]] of [[Urcea]] and [[New Harren]] following the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. It is modeled, in part, on the [[Imperial Order of the Holy Cross]]. The badge of the Order appears on the NSTA flag and on the arms of [[New Harren]]. | |||
==History== | |||
In the waning days of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many honorifics, awards, and titles of honor were distributed among the allies and particularly between the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] and members of [[NSTA]]. While many of the leading figures of the war were awarded with the [[Imperial Order of the Holy Cross]] - an order given for advancing the cause of [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] or the [[Levantine Union]] - many in [[New Harren]] and [[Quetzenkel]] sought an award specific to the [[Nysdra]] region which commemorated achievements in [[Crona]]. Advocates for such an award believed that it would help build a sense of fraternity among leading, prominent individuals from the NSTA states and help build regional cooperation after the war. On 23 July 2024, [[Riordan VIII]] created the Order in his role as both King of [[Urcea]] and as King of [[New Harren]], awarding [[Martin St. Clair]] and [[Guillaume d'Agostino]] (commanders of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] and [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]], respectively) as well as King Telucti I of [[Quetzenkel]] the rank of Grand Knight in the order. The NSTA Council confirmed its association with the award the same day. | |||
