Imperial Decree #286 The Redoubt Island Campaign Medal

[Kaiser Hasan I]

I, Kaiser Hasan I of The Imperial Republic of Shireroth do appoint this medal for valiant service in memory of the Redoubt Island Campaign.



The ribbon of this medal represents the main colours of the Coat of Arms of Shireroth, and displays the CoA itself. The face of this medal depicts Richard Milhouse Nixon standing before the Nobles of Shireroth reminding us of how silly this war was to begin with and how ambition can make you do crazy things in retrospect. On the reverse side (not depicted) is an image of a Brussels Sprout, Shireroth's secret weapon which won this war.

For bringing honour to the Imperial Republic I present this medal to the following citizens:

- Steward Jacobus Loki

- The Khan of Vijayanagara

- Erik Mortis Brookshire

- Andreas The Wise

- Scott of Hyperborea

- Jess

- Hypatias Mom

- Benkern

- Jonas

- Prodigy Almighty

In addition, those listed will benefit from a prize of 20 erb each, that they may share in the spoils and not loot the cities for restitution. Congratulations to all of you,

Signed by My Hand on this day,

21 Semisaday 3220 ASC,

Kaiser Hasan I,

The Imperial Republic of Shireroth,
Regent of The Kingdom of Babkha,
King of Bosworth

Thank You Millord

[Jacobus Loki]

I am honored.

[hypatias mom]

Most gracious of you, Your Niftiness.

[Prodigy Almighty]

Thank you, My Kaiser.

[Jess]

I found a hot dog in the ruins of La Roche Derrien, can I have it?

[Jacobus Loki]

Yes, since I'm the Somethingorother, you may.

Here is some mustard! And a piece of fired fish.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Did we manage to liberate anything else other than that hot dog?

[Jacobus Loki]

Did we manage to liberate anything else other than that hot dog?

An entire people, some stray communists, and who knows what in those cellars......

There are some Nova Englanders holed up in a castle in the interior, along with a flight of helicopters. I'll ask Dennis to take some militia and roust them out....

[Kaiser Hasan I]

I meant loot. We can't exactly add the hotdog to the royal treasury can we?

Oh, and I'm going on the record and saying that the medal I issued was struck from the brass which the Bosworth Navy used to commit ritual suicide to avoid being saved.

[Erik Mortis]

Thank you M'lord.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I have not found much in the way of loot but we have been innundated with volunteers for the specialist research facilities in Elwynn.

My thanks for this marvellous medal - I've always wanted a Gold Nixon, and now I have one.

[Andreas the Wise]

Many thanks, my Kaiser.

[Harald of Froyalan]

Congratulations to all the recipients!!

[Kaiser Hasan I]

I've always wanted a Gold Nixon,

Is there any other kind, my friend? (I thought you'd appreciate it)

[Jonas]

Nothing stronger than a Brussels Sprout...

[Jess]

I had some on my sandwich once...they tasted like grass

Brussels Sprouts aren't something you must eat. It's a weapon! If you use it, everyone surrenders!

Thankee your niftness, this is a great honour for me.

By the way, Brussels sprouts are not usually found in sandwiches. Alfalfa sprouts http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Alfalfa are a much more common additive. Brussels sprouts grow in profusion on a large stalk, and are shaped like tiny cabbages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_sprout They are best steamed and lightly seasoned when very small, and can be delicious as a fresh vegetable. If allowed to grow to full size, they can become quite bitter. Don't bother with the frozen ones--they are almost universally inedible.

I love frozen brussel sprouts! Go great with Christmas dinner.
