Originates from [[Portland_Requiem_IC:Ordo_Dracul|Three Rivers Academy in Portland Oregon]] , where the only known Dragon to whom the title applies, [[The Alice]], keeps her home~~.

These Titles are usually listed separately from the formal Title.

−

* '''Ante-''' - One who formerly held a title but for some reason either no longer does or no longer qualifies for it. For instance, "Ante-Harvesting", one who is no longer undefeated. There are very few circumstances that could generate this title.

−

* '''Criador do [Devotion]''' - Loosely translated from Portuguese as "Creator of...", this title may be used to separately denote the creator of a Devotion utilizing one of the Coils, rather than including "Inspired" within the main decorations. For instance: ''Criador do Sanguine Inquiry'' or ''Creator of Sanguine Inquiry''

−

* '''Inceptor''' - Is the creator and Progenitor of a Bloodline.

−

* '''[[Lodgemaster]]'''

−

* '''Page''' - An <i> exalted </i> Axe member who needs continuous help from others. A condemned title for lowly Axe members who constantly fail their superiors and their oaths. The first Dragon given this dishonorable title was "[[The Major]]" Talbot Kerr for "assaulting the Admired [[Xavier Ryan Ellison|Alexander "Xander" Royce Ellison]] Preeminent, Inspired, and Delphian, Invisible Architect of the Vitally Balanced Fiery and Sanguine Penultimate Terror plus Oracle, Parliamentarian (Emeritus), Grand Wyrm of Seattle, Advocate and Augur for the Ordo Dracul". Has been adapted in the Midwest to apply to an Axe whose records are in question, until such time as he should again prove his prowess to the Axe. In this case, it is not a title of shame, but merely one of uncertainty. In the Southeast, it has been used to denote a particular Dragon Knight who continually disappointed his Grandmaster, but was not 'unworthy' enough to be driven from the Axe; it was hoped the subtle shame would convince him to work toward reclaiming his respect.

−

* '''Primus Vitae [bloodline]''' - An alternative to Inceptor.

−

* '''[[Ryū Sangha | Ryū Sangha Titles]]'''

−

** Ryū Sangha is the Japanese Buddhist aligned Rite that dominates in Japan. The Ryū Sangha is built around Indic and Tantric Buddhism along with the formations of their own aspects. With this the Titles Presented are used among the Sangha of Japan.
