The Reim section is still missing titles (and if they are prename/postname) for 100k kills and killing all rare creatures. If you have them, please add to that section!)

A variety of systems automatically provide access to certain titles. The requirements to access them vary depending on the system.

Level-Based Titles

Level-based titles are the primary prename titles available to characters and are accessed via TITLE LIST PRENAME. They are attained by achieving specific levels in game. Prior to the GemStone IV conversion, only the Lord and Lady titles existed upon reaching level 20, and achieving this status, which was referred to as Titling, was considered a significant accomplishment. The present day game finds a more expanded title system but also a lessening of the importance associated with titling.

Titles prior to level 20 are only available during those levels. Titles from level 20 onward are always available once they have been attained.

Levels Prename Title
0-19 Novice
3-19 Apprentice
10-19 Journeyman / Journeywoman
20+ Lord / Lady
40+ Great Lord / Great Lady
70+ High Lord / High Lady
100 Grand Lord / Grand Lady

Culture Titles

One section of the title system offers various cultures as a title option. Unlike the other title options, cultural titles cannot be freely changed! Choosing a culture here as a title will convert your character to that culture, allowing access to that culture's title and removing access to all other cultural title options. This is a semi-permanent decision that requires a special item available only through SimuCoins or as a rare prize in (paid) Quests to change.

Very rarely, a free use of a culture reset is issued when new cultures become available to a character's race. Past examples of this include the introduction of Survivors and Castaways of Caligos Isle following the conclusion of Ebon Gate's 2021 run and the introduction of Evashir as a new culture for dark elves in 2023.

Available cultural titles are dependent on a character's race. They are accessed via TITLE LIST CULTURE. While some cultural titles are available to more than one race, most are race-specific. A small handful of cultures also provide access to expanded language system options, such as the Tehir language for humans and half-elves who select the culture or the Dhe'nar language for Dhe'nar dark elves and Khanshael dwarves.

After selecting a culture, the cultural title can be displayed or hidden via FLAG or SET SHOWCULTURE [ON/OFF].

In most cases, the cultural title appears immediately before or after the race when LOOKing at a character. Certain races have additional options for displaying their culture. Elves that have selected either the Ardenai, Illistim, Loenthra, Nalfein or Vaalor cultures and dark elves that have selected the Faendryl culture can choose to display their House name immediately after the character's surname. This is done via FLAG or SET SHOWCLTRSURNAME [ON/OFF]. The character must have a surname and must also display the surname (FLAG or SET SHOWLASTNAME [ON/OFF]) in order to display the House name in this way.

Citizenship Titles

See the Citizenship titles article for more information and a full list of citizenship-based titles.

Society Titles

Unique postname titles are available for those who are members or masters of the different societies in game. Each society has its own titles and criteria for accessing them.
