Article V
House Exhilo Honours and Accolades
V.1Distribution of Honoured Titles For work done in the name or for House Exhilo, members will be given an Honorary Title. This will be given for work done, not current work being performed. This Honorary Title can be maintained by the member even if they leave the House if they leave the House in good standing. The Honorary Title requires a Leadership Vote, as this advance could influence voting and House Policy. The Tier 1 member and Tier 2 members are restricted from earning an honorary title unless bestowed upon them by the Hall of Houses. V.2 Rank of Titles It is the thought of House Exhilo that if the member has earned an honorary title, that member is allowed to decide their titles naming, within reason. A prefix will be added to this titles naming in the increasing order; title High title Grand title. The first tier of an honorary title is singularly the title itself. Once the honorary title level of Grand has been bestowed, a Statue will be erected for the Grand Member in their honour in the House Exhilo city of their choice. V.3 Gifting of House Accolades A House Exhilo Accolade is a financial gift of House Exhilo liquid assets that can be gifted to any person or entity in the galaxy.
