Titles are special names given to members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The appointment of titles and the requirements and policies therein vary by title. The overall awarding and maintaining of titles is administered by the Master at Arms.

Sith Lord

This title is granted to all Grand Masters and is retained for life. Worthy members may also be awarded the title by the Grand Master after many years of service to the Brotherhood. Those awarded with the Sith Lord title are also entitled the use of the Darth title.

For example: Darth Vexatus

Dark Lord of the Sith

Dark Lord of the Sith is reserved for the sitting Grand Master.

War Heroes

For excellence in the field of battle, members can be given special titles for placing in the top three in a major vendetta. First Hero, Second Hero, and Third Hero are the titles awarded, each for their respective vendetta. Clan feuds, while a form of vendetta, are not eligible events for these titles.

For example: First Hero of the Dark Crusade

Martyr of the Brotherhood

Martyrs are members who have volunteered to have their fictional characters killed in official events, usually in vendetta plot updates. This title is given to them to mark their sacrifice to official storyline of the Dark Brotherhood.

Clan Titles

Clan titles may be awarded to members that have shown the most loyalty, dedication or activity in their clan. Clan titles should not be confused with Family names. Those who bear Clan titles are not considered part of a family.

Please refer to the Honorary Names Policy for more information on clan titles and family names.

Current Clan Titles

See Also: Clan Title Census

Legacy Titles

Legacy titles are an unofficial title that is granted to the membership upon ascent to the rank of Dark Adept or Force Adept. These titles appear on the member's dossier page, but carry no official standing within Brotherhood lore, only personal lore.

Retired Titles

Kunar was a Clan Title for members of Clan Exar Kun
Satal was a Clan Title for members of Clan Satal Keto

One With the Force

This is a special title given to honor those members of the Dark Brotherhood that are no longer with us, as a way to commemorate their time in the club.

+[[Clan]] titles may be awarded to members that have shown the most loyalty, dedication or activity in their clan. Clan titles should not be confused with [[Family]] names. Those who bear Clan titles are not considered part of a family.
-==== General Guidelines for Awarding a Clan Title ====
-A Clan title should only be conferred upon a member who has served their Clan for a lengthy period of time and has demonstrated their loyalty through their actions in promoting the welfare of the Clan. There is no limit on the number of members who can receive the Clan title but it is recommended that this achievement be difficult – but possible – for the average member to attain. The Dark Council will not impose any specific requirements for a Clan title except the general guidelines contained herein. The specific requirements are to be determined by the Clan leadership,  or their designees subject to these policies.
-==== Procedures for Awarding a Clan Title ====
-Clan titles are awarded based on the exclusive set of standards and requirements that the Clan itself has promulgated subject to these policies. The Clans have the exclusive right to determine who will receive a Clan title. Clans may organize a system of their choosing to help determine who should receive the Clan title. Whatever the result, the Clan title award must be reported to the Master At Arms only by the Consul of the Clan or the Proconsul of the Clan if the Consul is unavailable or is receiving the award himself.
-==== Extent of Master At Arms Oversight ====
-The Master at Arms does not have the authority to interfere in the Clan procedure for determining the title unless accusations of unfairness and discrimination are made. In these instances, they will conduct an investigation in conjunction with the Justicar to ensure that no Clan is in violation of any of the provisions of the Covenant. The Master at Arms is also responsible for updating the master list of Clan titles on the Brotherhood’s wiki and for adding the title to the member’s dossier.
-==== Effect of Leaving the Clan ====
-A member who leaves the Clan to go to another Clan forfeits their title in all cases. A member who leaves the Clan to go to the rogues or who is removed to the rogues does not forfeit their Clan title. A member who is appointed to the Dark Council does not forfeit their Clan title.
-==== Removing a Clan Title ====
-A Clan title can not normally be rescinded except as a result of leaving the Clan to go to another Clan or for an extreme change in circumstances. If a Clan wishes to rescind a Clan title from one of its members, it must consult with the Master at Arms. The Master at Arms will defer to the wishes of the Clan members as much as is reasonably possible but will also be tasked with protecting the rights of the member in question from arbitrary action. A Clan title may not be rescinded by the Master at Arms without the consent of the Clan except in the case of a member departing the Clan. A Clan title may not be rescinded by the Clan except in consultation with the Master at Arms.
-==== Consuls ====
-The Clan title shall not be automatically conferred on a Clan Consul just because they were appointed Clan Consul, see: General Guidelines for Awarding a Clan Title. A Clan Consul may not award himself the title.
-==== Members ====
-Members may not carry the same name as one of the Clan titles without having actually earned that title. Members who receive the title are not required to display it.
-==== Dark Council Main Body ====
+Please refer to the [[Honorary Names Policy]] for more information on clan titles and family names.
-Dark Council members who have received the Clan title may opt to retain it while they serve on the Council or they may choose not to display it in order not to appear biased. Council members are free to decide how they want to proceed and shall not lose their title if they choose not to display it. The Grand Master, however, may not display a Clan title at all while they are in office though they retain the title for use in retirement.
