Following the internment of the Great Father, Aleksandr Kerensky, on April 28, 3151, the BloodRibbon was conceived and awarded by ilKhan Alaric Ward to commemorate all of the warriors who fought in the ilClan Trial for Terra between April 17-19, 3151. The award was also intended as a means of healing the centuries-long rift between Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf. All warriors of Clan Jade Falcon, Clan Wolf, and Wolf's Dragoons who fought in the Trial were awarded the BloodRibbon. Worn over the heart, the color of the BloodRibbon differs based on the origin of the recipient: green for Clan Jade Falcon, red for Clan Wolf, and gray for Wolf's Dragoons. Those who are awarded the BloodRibbon are held in higher regard than those who do not have it and are afforded the greatest respect[1].

Bearers of the BloodRibbon are afforded a special salute: the greeter extends the index and forefinger of the right hand, then they touch their fingers to their heart[2].
