Hey guys,

After a time spent in the BE, I realise that there is to real honours system, so I decided to suggest to the government they introduce a knighthoods system. Me and Gildor had a brief conversation, but I decided it would be best to make a post about it, so I have done so. I have invented some rules and customs etc which the empire could adopt if they so wish:

– Baronets ( basically a hereditary knighthood in real life Britain, calling knights baronets would add a touch of authenticity ) are non – elected aristocrats, but unlike lords have no political power.

– Baronets can choose to be sir someone of somewhere, the same as lords.

– Potential baronets are selected by their senior, for example an admiral recommending a commodore. After a candidate has been nominated, ( for say a successful military campaign, string of well designed buildings, a particularly good term in office and so on ) four or more government ministers must agree for the candidate to be awarded the title. Baronets are created in a ceremony in St Paul’s cathedral.

– The system is currently a bit by and large and requires some rethinking.
