Order of the Orichalcum Throne

The Order of the Orichalcum Throne was an honorary order of chivalry in the Empire of Trynser. Membership in this order was granted to those who had contributed to the glory and the common good of the Empire. This order compelled no military service, nor did advanced position confer any sort of command over lesser orders. Recipients of the order received a medal and a certificate, and possibly a title and pension.
Those receiving the title at knight level or above may follow their name or signature with (O.O.T.), for example, Sir Lyus Sleyden, O.O.T. The order was traditionally only awarded once per level, though repeated actions that merited award may earn one the next higher rank. The order was available at the following levels:
Page: awarded by any ranking Imperial official. May be awarded for capturing a wanted criminal, extending hospitality to an Imperial official, composing a highly regarded book, song, poem, etc., or contributing meaningfully to the recovery or mitigation of a disaster.
Squire: awarded by any member of the Imperial Family, Imperial High Court, or governor of Imperial territory. Awarded for the same sorts of things as the 'page' award, but at a more significant degree.
Knight: awarded by the Emperor, Empress, Regent, or Viceroy. This was awarded to artists who work was regarded as a national treasure, or for actions of profound importance to the Empire.
Knight Commander: only awarded by the Emperor. Of such importance the order is often awarded with a title of Count or higher.
