One of the highest honors an Arconan can receive is to be awarded the title di Tenebrous Arconae. It is an achievement that rewards long term leadership, activity, and service to the Clan, as well as having a positive impact on the Brotherhood as a member of Arcona. Although the title is awarded for the real life efforts of the member who earns the honorific, the member may choose which, if any, of their in-universe characters to apply it to. The title is strictly honorary, and does not entitle members to any special influence over clan affairs beyond being a respected voice for the dedication and commitment to the Clan.

Ceremonial Ink
As an optional narrative choice that is more about tradition than anything else: all Arconae are marked by a runic tattoo etched with black ink. The tattoo consists of the Arcona emblem entombed in a circle of runic markings. The ink, fused with Sith Alchemy techniques, is unique in that it is poisonous to anyone else besides the bearer. This means that an individual batch of ink is made for each new Arconae. This aspect of the tattoo helps lay claim to validity of the Arconae in question as the ink would kill anyone else trying to impersonate them.
Historical Process (Legacy)
Historically, Arconae were voted in by the existing body of Arconae with a simple majority required to induct a member. Anyone who earned the title previously has retained their title out of respect for the contributions.
