The Sheathed Sword
Presented to those to decide to inflict injury on their character, and then dive into the resulting emotions and choices in a realistic manner. The name comes from line in a Robert Jordan book where a warrior must be prepared to "Sheath the Sword" in his own body, i.e. to take a grievous wound to achieve your goal, in this case more realistic SIMming as opposed to an actual goal of the character like the established award.
Introduced for the '01 ceremony.
