Awarded to Members who helped DI achieve a decisive victory during the Spring Offensive of 2020
"It was a harsh winter that members had endured in their journey to the New World. Only a mere 600 or so had survived, hungry and broken, but hopeful. Some say it was punishment from the gods to remind the members that they are only mortal after all. However, as the darkness of winter began to fade and the days started to become warmer, there were a great amount of activity and preparation sweeping through the members. The leaders had just announced the most ambitious initiative in history that would seek to breakthrough the disease and suffering that had plagued members in the New World. This new initiative would seek to aggressively expand DI's influence and power, through rapid growth, tactical surprise and swift decisive action. It would become known as the Spring Offensive, and commence as soon as the last snow had melted. There was a sense of excitement and anticipation among the newer members who were eager to prove themselves. Sacrifices to the gods were made to gain their blessing for the great offensive ahead. Some of the older members who had been scarred by long forgotten horrors were a bit more apprehensive, even doubtful that such a major initiative would succeed. Nonetheless, the plan was beginning to take motion, and when April came, the Spring Offensive commenced with the full force of DI behind it. No one could have foreseen the stunning successes that would follow in the coming months, as DI rapidly expanded and obtained new territories at a rate that had never been witnessed before. Drunk on the blood lust of these successes, the leaders pushed forward and capitalized on the momentum, continuing their advance right through spring, summer and eventually autumn. By the end of it, DI had grown to six times its strength since the start of the offensive, breaking every single record in its entire history. Songs were written of the triumphs and glory that had been achieved. Activity, trade, farming and prosperity flourished as DI took hold of its new found status as the capital of the New World. The gods had been good to DI." - a DI member who was there
