For future service completions I will update on this post. After all, a Knight must be a good steward of their respective environment.
In loyal service,

Knight Dragon walks into the Castle, removing his gauntlets and slapping them against his thighs to beat off the dust of the field. He has just finished talking with the crafter of his new Coat of Arms, and heads through the Main Hall to a staircase inset in the back wall. Removing his helm Chie, he heads up the stairs, feeling the weight of all his exploits crashing down on his shoulders the higher he goes. Each step lays the weight and fatigue of each rescue on his tired body, slipping beneath his armor with little effort. He has succeeded in slaying many terrible beasts, over 200 foes that stood in his way, and rescued countless works from the Green Room. He ascends to the highest level, and enters a room that opens to his left. The room is as grimy as his armor, and as dusty as the fields through which he's run on foot and ridden across on horseback. The only disruption of the dust is the fresh trail of footprints, footprints he'd left just recently, that led to the wall, where his Boar's Head hung. He created a new set of tracks across the floor, walking over to the clean table he'd placed in the room the same day he'd hung the Boar's Head, beneath the sunlight streaming through the window. Scrolls and tomes covered most of the table, and in the center was a fresh parchment, bearing the words of his most recent writing. Placing Chie on the table next to the paper, he turned and inspected the room.
On the wall to the right of the door was a rack of pegs, perfect for a Knight to store his weaponry on. He slid Bitoku, his shield, off his back and set it upon its peg, then detached his sword belt and hung his sword Doragon beside Bitoku. His armor was notched on the right epaulet, for both rescuing a fellow Knight's work and from the Shrubbery he'd encountered during a long journey from the Castle grounds. His horse Ayla was already stabled, and near her stall was his Jousting Lance Shimiru, reserved for tournaments, and perhaps the upcoming Review Day he would ride Ayla with Shimiru, ready to assail any beast that stood in his path. He smiled and walked back over to the window, gazing out at the Village and Town in the distance. He'd accomplished so much in so little time, and yet there was still much to do. Like cleaning out his room, for starters. He placed his gauntlets on the table and reached for the broom, attacking the dust with as much vengeance as he did the beasts that withstood him. And when he was done cleaning, he thought, he would rest and then return to the wastelands to rescue more works in danger.

So that all the world may see, I, Knight Dragon, vow to achieve what very few have done: acquire orange stars. I pledge my loyalty to YWS, to serve the community in pursuit of my goal, and not to give small, weak, or otherwise worthless reviews in pursuit of this goal. I shall not neglect my duties as a Knight or Moderator in my quest, and shall maintain strong connections between myself and fellow Knights and YWSers.
I challenge all who read this to embark with me upon this journey. This is not a quest of speed, but of endurance. The goal is not to achieve the highest quantity in the shortest amount of time, but the highest quality in pursuit of the quantity, for however long that takes.

Knight Dragon! For your grand profilic-ness of reviewing I have awarded you your chest of silver and chest of gold achievements. Congratulations and godspeed!

*bows* Thank you, milady. Onward I march for the mythical beast known as a "unicorn."

I feel very odd. I have just completed reviewing a second complete work, but since it was only in three parts, I don't have enough reviews for a Hamlet. So I will have a Village, a Town, and a Kingdom, but no Hamlet. Grr....

The requirement for the village badge was only to complete five consecutive chapters, not to finish the whole piece so I must point out that Elegy of Flight continues for at least another three chapters and can not be counted toward a kingdom. Keep journeying good Knight, the path is hard, but you will make it.

@Rydia
I was not counting Elegy of Flight towards my kingdom. The Head, a three part story, was completed for the Town Badge, and Finding Watson was another three part story, which I reviewed in its entirety. Those are the two I am claiming for my Kingdom. My apologies for not clarifying earlier.

Ah, sorry, I misread the badge info and thought it said it required three! In that case, I am delighted to award you with a kingdom and wish you many long and happy years as their ruler!

I'm officially breaking this up now. Once you go over 200 reviews, having all that in a single post is kind of unruly and hard to manage. So here's the break up!

For my sword:

For my shield:

For my helmet:

For my horse:

For my Full Armor:

For my Jousting Lance,
