The orders, decorations and medals are a means of rewarding an individual for numerous meritorious activities, including: personal bravery; personal achievement; service to the Anisoran Empire, a constituent state or the colonial empire; religious achievement and contributions to the Master Plan; services to a monarch, regent, government or dynastic stim; etc.
Below is a selective list of the most prestigious orders, decorations and medals awarded in Anisora. However, since the exile of the Imperial Stim and the rise of the Anisoran Regency, many of the dynastic and state awards have either fallen into abeyance or have conflicting legal claims as to which authority can legal award said award.
