Our medals will once again feature the Helm of Awe, a powerful symbol from Norse mythology.

The Helm of Awe

I wore before the sons of men

In defense of my treasure;

Amongst all, I alone was strong,

I thought to myself,

For I found no power a match for my own.

- The Poetic Edda. Fáfnismál, stanza 16 translated
