The Masters are ivory tower scholarly types that probably could not be bothered with the opinions of the common masses. I can't see them using big fancy titles. (Although it does suck that they have a policy of non-aggression, expect others to follow it, and yet never tell you who they are unless you take the time to ask. If you see some necromancer in your area, taking the time to pause and compose a nice greeting may get you summoned into a deathfull situation.)
However, Empire is an organization that says the following:
1) When you reach the right level, it is your job to seek out a Citizen and take the BloodOath.
2) Once you BloodOath, you should obey orders from Citizens, and certainly never fight one.
3) We exist to organize and reform Thera, to show the power of enforced Order. We believe in these goals.
Aren't all of the above helped by labeling Citizens as what they are? Something simple, like "ProudBlade the Master Knight, Imperial Citizen". I know I've had fun ordering BloodOaths to do things as a non-Citizen. It's not like they can tell. =)
> Why is it that only the Haven Arbiters and Scarab's have it shown to the whole world who they are. The masters you would think would want a title declairing thier supriority. You would also think that the Ragers would shout it out what they are. They still believe in honor I think so they wouldn't try a low down trick like group with a mage then try to kill him. The Empire as well would want to mark what is thiers when it has taken one. Sylvan they may or may not wish to show their true colors so I can see them not marking themselves off. Entropy wouldn't give a hoot or if they did it would be done in a way that would be unique to the individual. (Shadow if they do exist obviously wouldn't be included in this subject) However I can see no good reason most of the others are not showing off their true colors for all to know and see. If you want realism People mark themselve off all the time. Certain clubs have ties and jacket that only members can get. People tend to try to make there mark, look at gangs, skinheads, KKK, Military, bumper stickers, rainbow colition, green peace, School jackets, the list goes on and on. Well it's just an idea, tell me why you hate it or like it.
