| − | ==III. Framework==
| + | :c. {{:Ladder Awards}} |
| − | :a. [[Knighthood]]: Below are the recommended criteria for becoming eligible for the four orders of Knighthood. Having these awards only grants eligibility and does not require that Knighthood be bestowed. Whereas Masterhood is recognition of skill, Knighthood is also recognition of character in addition to having skill beyond that of a Master. It is suggested that orders that reflect a player’s positive character ([[Order of the Griffon|Griffin]], [[Walker in the Middle]], [[Jovious]], [[Mask]], etc.) be considered when determining any class of Knighthood. | |

| − | ::1. '''Flame:''' A player may be eligible for [[Knight of the Flame]] after obtaining Masterhood in [[Rose]], [[Smith]], or [[Lion]].

[[Monarchs]] have the discretion to award multiple levels of award to the same individual but all awards must be given in sequence.
