The Coils, and how they determine a Dragon's title
The formal titles used within the Ordo Dracul has three distinct components.
The first is the //Title//, which is a representation of how many Coils that a Dragon claims to have. Note that a Dragon can lie, but doing so runs the risk of extreme (& possibly fatal) repercussions if caught.
- Slave:......... No Tiers
- Supplicant:.... One Tier
- Scribe:........ Two Tiers
- Scholar:....... Three Tiers
- Initiate:...... Four Tiers
- Adept:......... Five Tiers
- Master:........ Six Tiers
- Philosopher:... Seven Tiers
- Illuminus:... Eight Tiers
- Architect:..... Nine Tiers
- Visionary:..... Ten Tiers
- Immortal:...... Eleven or more Tiers
The second is the //Domain//, which indicates which particular Coil the Dragon is most accomplished within. This is typically placed directly behind the //Title//. It is also permitted to place an adjective before the //Domain//, to indicate the second-strongest Coil that the Dragon possesses. This is the most commonly used //Decoration//, as well.
Coil of Blood
- Coil of Blood is your highest Coil - ...of Hunger
- Coil of Blood is your second highest - Sanguine or Bloody
Coil of Banes
- Coil of Banes is your highest Coil - ...of the Curse
- Coil of Banes is your second highest - Burning or Fiery
Coil of the Beast
- Coil of the Beast is your highest Coil - ...of Terror
- Coil of the Beast is your second highest - Wild or Untamed
Coil of Flesh
- Coil of Flesh is your highest Coil - ...of Pain
- Coil of Flesh is your second highest - Carnal or Vital
Coil of the Soul
- Coil of the Soul is your highest Coil - ...of the Void
- Coil of the Soul is your second highest - Rarefied or Elysian
All Equal
- If all the Coils you have are of equal level - ..of Equilibrium
The third and final componenet is the //Decoration//, which is added to the //Title// + //Domain// formula as the Dragon wishes, either to convey additional information about the Dragon and his accomplishements within the Ordo Dracul, or simply to appear more impressive to others.
- If you have studied only one Coil:......................... Dedicated
- If you have studied four seperate Coils:................... Invisible
- If you have studied five separate Coils:................... Aetherial
- If you have studied the fourth tier of any specfic Coil:... Penultimate
As an example, a Dragon who has Blood 4, Banes 3, Beast 1, Flesh 1, & Soul 1 could describe his //Title// as being an //Aetherial Visionary of Penultimate Hunger//, which would tell any other Dragon that he has a total of 10 Coils, knows all four tiers of the Coil of Hunger, and has at least one tier in all five Coils.
Additional Decorations, and examples of Titles, can be found in the //Ordo Dracul// book, pages 15 & 16.
There are also other additional titles and custom Decorations created for use in the Sanctioned Chronicle.
Almost any accomplishment that would result in a modification of Title could be found in The Book.
