The Raven’s Egg is given at the whim of the Baron and/or Baroness. It is a repeatable, non-precedence-bearing token presented by the Baron and/or Baroness. Recommendations for recipients of the award are to be given to the Baron and/or Baroness and may be made by anyone.

(The official description of the Raven’s Egg is extremely vague. It may be used to acknowledge anything from a single notable contribution by a gentle, to many individual acts that indicate a tendency that may not be sufficient for other awards. This can also be used for years of continued service done by someone who already carries all Baronial awards.)

Examples can include (but are not limited to) the owner of a site what has gone above and beyond in allowing the Barony to use that site for events. The Benefactor is a one-time, non-precedence bearing honor.
