About the awards

Muro Awards: Yearly honour roll and the categories Murometz defined. Shown in this hall and on a citizen's Tower.
Badges: Guild and action seals — hall identity and site activity. Secondary to Muro Awards on the Tower.
Hall of Honour / Golden: Marks on a submission, not a yearly citizen award. Different system, same pride.
Quest laurels: Quest hub winners only — not listed here.
