The Silver Chalice
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
This order was founded way before the founding of the Kingdom of Arasil, though it held only one branch back then.
These order is divided into two sections, one is the material and the spiritual, both are governed by the Viceroy of Arasil:
The Knightly Order
- The Order of the Silver Crown
The Lowest ranking of the knighthood. Those knights are mainly the officers of the army and the regular army. - The Order of the Golden Swan
This is the middle ranking of the knighthood, they are mostly diplomats and judges and incharge of maintaining the order in the civil meaning. - The Order of the Platinum Lion
This is the highest ranking of the knighthood, they are the champions of the gods and incharge of whole areas
The Monastic, Arcane and Priestly Order
- Silver Robes of the Circlet
The lowest ranking of the order. These order combine all the spiritual and knowledge of the arcane into one section of the Order of the chalice, as the teaching of Edrahil say that all should be one. The silver robes, in contrast to the knighthood, accept all without any oaths into the order and they treat them all as students. - Seekers of the Golden Dragon
The Seekers of the Golden Dragon, are taking some of the vows of the knights voluntarily, however they are not required. - Robes of the Platinum Conclave
Those Robes, are the most important and most skilled spell users in the kingdom, accumulating knowledge from Sophia-Hold and the other races among them. They have worked hard to achieve this and holding the duchies and kingdoms together.
Culture
While titles of nobility or the honorific “Sir” are typically used when addressing members of the Order before outsiders, the Chalice has long upheld distinct internal forms of address, reinforcing the bonds of kinship and shared purpose among its ranks.
Address inside the Knightly Order
Since 1,022 AB, all knights of the Chalice have been required to address one another as Brother or Sister. When speaking across the divisions of rank, they must use the appropriate metal to signify standing: Silver Brother/Sister, Golden Brother/Sister, or Platinum Brother/Sister.Address inside the Monastic, Arcane and Priestly Order
Since 1,021 AB, members of the Monastic, Arcane and Priestly branch have adopted a system of titles that reflects study and enlightenment rather than blood or battle. Those of the Silver Robes are called Disciples; members of the Seekers of the Golden Dragon are Illuminants; and the Robes of the Platinum Conclave are known as Magisters. These titles are used universally, even when addressing members of other sub-orders within the same branch.Address between the Knightly Order and Monastic, Arcane and Priestly Order
When speaking across the branches, the full honorific is observed. Thus, a Seeker of the Golden Dragon would address a a Knight of Order of the Silver Crown as Silver Brother or Silver Sister, while the knight would in turn address the Seeker as Illuminant. This exchange maintains balance between martial kinship and spiritual enlightenment, ensuring each branch honors the traditions of the other.
