Overview
When you click on a person, there are various titles visible on their player menu in addition to their guild affliations. Some of these are related to the
Tests and some to other accomplishments.
Titles
Levels
Everyone has a level title, with the level showing a number indicating how many principles and tests they've completed - see Levels for more details.
Standard titles
- Peasant <name> - this person has not yet completed the citizenship tasks.
- Citizen <name> - this person has completed citizenship and may have completed some Initiations, but no Tests yet.
- GAME MASTER - GMs have this title when they're in 'active' mode.
Test related titles
- Initiate of <Discipline> - the person has passed the Initiation test in <Discipline>
- Student of <Discipline> - the person has passed one Test in <Discipline> (Architecture, Art, the Human Body, etc), and no other Tests.
- Prentice of <Discipline> - the person has passed two Tests in <Discipline> and may have passed up to one Test in any other Discipline.
- Journeyman of <Discipline> - the person has passed three Tests in <Discipline> and may have passed up to two Tests in any other Discipline.
- Scribe of <Discipline> - the person has passed four Tests in <Discipline> and may have passed up to three Tests in any other Discipline.

- Pharaoh's Oracle of <Discipline> - the person has passed all seven Tests in <Discipline> and may have passed up to six Tests in any other Discipline.
- Student of Two - means the person has passed a Test in two Disciplines but has no higher ranking (if they'd passed two Tests in a Discipline, they'd have the title "Prentice of <Discipline>"
- (etc for all combinations of titles above)
The highest possible rank would be Oracle of Seven, something that is effectively impossible to achieve.
For (probably incomplete) lists of who has passed what, see Disciplines.
Legacy titles
People that played in earlier Tales have legacy titles reflecting the rank they achieved there, e.g.
Playername, Student of Two
Grandson/Granddaughter, Pharaoh's Oracle of Worship.
would mean that player was currently a Student of Two and had been an Oracle of Worship in Tale2. They also had to have an active account at the end of the previous telling for the title to carry over.
Playername, Student of Two
Legacy, Pharaoh's Oracle of Worship.
would mean that player was currently a Student of Two and had been an Oracle of Worship in either Tale1 or Tale2, with the "Legacy" distinction being that the player had played the game in Tale1, having the account active at the ends of both Tales 1 and 2.
A list of people with this title, for the purposes of the Initiation Into Harmony may be found at Oracle Grandchildren.
