==== High Champion ====
This title is earned by Royal Champions who also win all three contests in the High Tournament which is held during the Council of Royals. High Champions bear the tattoo of a Royal Champion, with the dots connected to form a twelve-pointed star. 
=== Master ===
This title can be earned by a journeymen of any craft who wins the Journeymen Contest of their craft twelve times, or who enter into the master contest and place a single time. Masters of a craft are marked by a tattoo of the symbol of their craft on the palms of their hands.

=== Blademaster ===
This title can only be won at the Cathedral's Arena. Unlike Tournament based titles, this title can be earned during the martial training of the sixth day of any week. Blademasters must fight against a recognized Blademaster and either render their opponent unconscious or score twelve points against them. These contests are always done using weighted practice swords without any form of armor. Blademasters receive the mark of the Crown and Twelve Swords on their palms. Those achieving the mark are extended invitation to join the Order of Prowess.

Royal Blademasters have a twelve-pointed star added inside the Crown of their previous tattoo. Royal Blademasters are automatically recruited to the Order of Prowess.
==== High Blademaster ====
This title is won by first gaining the rank of Royal Blademaster and then defeating the Truest King during a High Tournament. To date no one has achieved such a title, the closest to come was Queen Ida in the year 1776 scoring eleven points of the twelve needed during her match with the Truest King.Category:Broken Kingdom
