About honorifics names
Forms of address run from single words like "Eminence" to constructed titles such as "Exalted One". How a court addresses power tells readers who actually holds it, so reserve the most elaborate honorific for the figure everyone fears rather than the one on the throne. The plainer results, "Friend" among them, work well for cults that perform humility.
How honorifics names are built
Honorifics draw from two pools split by gender, 173 entries used for male and neutral results and 175 entries used for female results, each emitted as a single bare pull. The entries are single titular words and short phrases of esteem. Worked outputs from the bank include "Eminence", "Trusted One", and "Gilded".
Eminence
Eminence (female pool)
Trusted One
Trusted One (male and neutral pool)
Gilded
Gilded (female pool)
Naming notes
Male and neutral pulls share one pool while female pulls use the other, so the only branching is which bank a result comes from; the template stays a single word or phrase either way. The register is grand and abstract (Eminence, Unbounded, Royal, Trusted One), suited to address rather than naming. Use these as forms of address for nobles, deities or order-members in worldbuilding, slotting before or in place of a personal name.
Questions about honorifics names
- How does gender change an honorific?
- Female results come from the 175-entry female pool, while male and neutral results both draw from the 173-entry shared pool; the single-word format does not change.
- Are these names or titles?
- They are forms of address, grand abstract words like Eminence, Royal and Trusted One that sit before or in place of a personal name rather than functioning as a given name.
- Why are some honorifics two words?
- A few entries are short phrases like Trusted One stored whole in the pool; they are still a single drawn entry, not a joined construction.
