Those warriors who stand elite among the Brotherhood possess Clusters of Fire ranging into the thousands.

Awarded for: Victory in any multiplayer battle (as a part of a DC sanctioned competition) whether on the ground or in the air. The Cluster of Fire awards excellence in the arts of multiplayer combat.

Description: Many cultures mark their warriors in the blood of their enemies. So too does the Brotherhood mark its own.

The Pendant is a disk of solid zersium dyed red with the blood of the Brotherhood’s enemies from the field of battle. A ring of the naturally matte zersium creates a cordon of strength around the blood dye representing dominance of one’s enemy. This grey field is bordered by two lustrous rings, the inner representing the recipient, while the outer denotes the Brotherhood. These cordons are symbolic of the member’s power backed by that of the Brotherhood. The award hangs from a bar of pure meleenium by a Dramassian silk ribbon that compliments the brooding color palette.

Awarded for: Given to the overall winner of a Dark Brotherhood Gaming Night based upon their win/loss record. In the case of a tie, the member with more matches will receive the award.
