Khanid KarnivaleThe internal hierarchy, holy offices, and earned honors of Khanid Karnivale.
The Karnivale is split into two main advancement paths, with additional titles that may be held alongside normal rank.
“Every loyal subject once stood at the gates as a stranger.”
A new recruit and neophyte to both the Chapter and the cause. The Sympathizer receives only basic access and must prove their value through visible service.
“The backbone of the Karnivale.”
The common soldier and reliable line pilot of the Chapter. Many members proudly remain Loyalists for their entire career.
“Command begins with being seen under fire.”
The leadership branch for pilots advancing toward fleet command. Officers command squadrons, learn under watchful superiors, and carry the burden of smaller-unit discipline.
“Once a Cyberknight, always a Cyberknight.”
An internal honor inspired by the rare augmented warriors of the Kingdom. Karnivale Cyberknights are specialists in technology, design, fitting theory, industry, mining, exploration, and planning.
“The King’s will made manifest upon the battlefield.”
One of the most respected ranks of the Karnivale. The Loyalist Commander acts as fleet commander, directing the Chapter’s pilots in combat.
“A blade sheathed is still a weapon.”
A senior advisor who may step back from direct combat to serve diplomacy, finance, contracts, and relations.
“The empire runs on ink, ledgers, fuel blocks, and fear.”
A trusted member of the Ringmaster’s inner circle, responsible for the administrative burdens that keep the Chapter moving.
“The one and only.”
The Chapter Master of Khanid Karnivale and final authority in all matters. The Ringmaster is less a manager than a living office: host, judge, patron, commander, archivist, and symbol.
For the overly pious, righteous, and doctrinally severe.
“To suffer is to prove devotion.”
A pious and righteous pilot who chooses the holy path after Sympathizer. The Flagellant undertakes a journey of faith and records visits to Amarr holy sites or great battlefields.
“Faith without understanding is incomplete.”
A proven Flagellant entrusted with more responsibility, including contract and project work. The Zealot seeks a holy guide from an Amarr-aligned corporation or a Karnivale Templar.
“Faith, discipline, and duty.”
The highest holy rank of the Chapter. Templars are chaplains, confidants, doctrinal enforcers, and commissars.
Titles can be used alongside militia rank and chapter rank. They are marks of reputation, not merely decoration.
A feather in the cap of any loyal pilot. Patriots earn distinction through visible propaganda, pro-Amarr conduct, warzone objectives, and public devotion. This title must not be requested; a fellow Karnivale pilot nominates the worthy.
A title associated with upper-class Amarrian status, land, wealth, authority, and stewardship. In the Karnivale it may be granted by the Chapter Master or earned through running or building a Chapter structure.
A combat honor for pilots who destroy five enemy vessels in a single sortie, in the same ship, with a witness, and return home with their hull intact. Killmails and kill marks prove the claim.
The Karnivale preserves titles through formal correspondence. The correct form is:
Militia Rank, Special Title if earned, Name, Rank in the Khanid Karnivale.
Example: “Paladin Crusader, Patriot Cela Kashuken, Ringmaster of the Khanid Karnivale.”
The office is presently held by Paladin Crusader, Patriot Cela Kashuken, Ringmaster of the Khanid Karnivale.
Darrius Knighte is honored as the Founding Ringmaster, but the Chapter does not treat his voluntary departure as a binding term limit upon successors.
