Because of their strength and near- indestructibility, Nemean Lions are required to follow the Nemean Code to protect others from possible harm, and the Avalon Elders have the power to revoke medallions if this code is broken. If a Nemean Lion refuses to swear into the Code prior to their turning, they will not be allowed to recieve a medallion, and as a result, prohibited from turning.
The medallion of species was available for purchase as a Medallion, but is currently unavailable.
