A Title is a formal designation that confers identity, standing, or power within a world. It may be granted, inherited, or assumed, and often functions within a wider system of governance, belief, or custom. Titles help structure how individuals relate to institutions, spaces, and ideas across time.

Titles define structured identity and power. They interact with:

  • Characters (holding titles)
  • Institutions (issuing or hosting titles)
  • Zones, Locations, Objects (governing or representing)
  • Constructs, Laws, and Collectives (giving them shape or purpose)

They are distinct from:

  • Traits (which describe personal attributes)
  • Abilities (which define actions that can physically be taken)
  • Relations (which describe personal or emotional bonds)
