Office of the Emperor
Decree V
This Imperial Decree hereby establishes the orders and associated knighthoods in the Empire of Adammia.
The Order of Adammia is established. This organisation offers membership to those who have given honourable services to the Empire, granting them the style of Sir / Madam and the title of Knight / Lady. A knighthood in the Order of Adammia can be bestowed only by the Emperor, by either his own discretion or through recommendation by any noble (Duke or Archduke). A knighthood can be bestowed upon any full or honourary citizen, or a foreigner. When a foreigner receives a knighthood, they automatically become an honourary citizen. A further rank in the Order, Lord, can be bestowed with examples of exceptional service. The head of the Order of Adammia is the Emperor.
In accordance with consent given by Patrick Vladek, Head of the Ordo Vladius at 20:09 on the 10th June 2013, the organisation known as the Ordo Vladius enters a mutual alliance with the Empire of Adammia. Its members take the same styles and titles of Knights in the Order of Adammia. They are charged with acting as foreign ambassadors of the Empire. The Ordo continues to be led by Sir Vladek, and can leave the alliance at any time.
Signed,
HIM Emperor Adam I
