    Title
    1.This Act shall be cited as the Wintreath Honorific Titles Act.

    Legislation
    2. The Monarch shall have the right to grant Honorific Titles to any person, Citizen or Non-Citizen, as they shall see fit for service to the Region or the Monarch.
    3. The Storting shall have the right to grant Honorific Titles to any person, Citizen or Non-Citizen, as they shall see fit for service to the Region after a vote in both houses of the Storting.
    4. The Monarch and The Storting shall have the right to phrase any Honorific Title any way they see fit.
    5. Honorific Titles shall grant no additional abilities or privileges beyond a Ceremonial Honorific Title.

    I thought it might be a good idea to codify that we actually can grant Honorific Titles before we grant an Honorific Title. I've never been terribly good at writing legislation so if you think that the phrasing is off do tell. What do you all think?

    This legislation was proposed by North on October 14th. I know this is a bit late, but from now on I'll be posting new legislation here in the citizen's forum for discussion, as it is part of my mandate. Let the discussion (if there is any) begin!

  •  I mean it's not  that late, since Chanku's topic talked about it a bit as well.

    This seems a bit redundant with noble titles, though.  I understand the desire to attach it to commendation recipients...but if we're going to extend it outright, then what's the purpose of having nobility  if we're just going to give out other titles instead for identical reasoning?

  • @Pengu, this one just adds flavour. It would be nice if people could receive specific honours in their noble titles, too. Or maybe Wintermoot doesn't want to raise someone into the nobility, necessarily, but still wants them to receive recognition.

  • There is still the yet unused title of Knight, which is not nobility, so that could be another form of recognition as well.

  • With what Gerrick said, perhaps we can transform the Knight title into that, fashioning it into "champion/knight/Guardian of ______" since as he said, it's one that's never been used so far.

    As for the noble titles themselves, I'd be for that in the way of subtext, such as "Amalya: Countess of Bain, Champion of the people" or "Weissreich: Duke of Wintreath, Lord of History" to give some examples (even though the latter example sounds terrible).
