Violet Order of Dalaran

The Violet Order of Dalaran is an prestigious order made up of people who have provided important services to the Magocracy of Dalaran. Those who are inducted into the order may use the honorific  post-nominal letters  assoicated with their rank. Inductees do not have to be Dalaranian citizens nor do they have to be practitioners of magic.

Ranks
There are for different ranks in the Violet Order. The higher the rank, the more prestigious the honor and the greater value place on the services provided. It is possible to be granted one rank and then later granted a higher rank for further service. The ranks are from lowest to highest: As non-magic users can be inducted into the order, the ranks are not a reflection of magical prowess.
 * Magister - Post-nominal letters MVO.
 * Sage  - P ost-nominal letters  SVO.
 * Wizard  - P ost-nominal letters  WVO.
 * Conjurer  - P ost-nominal letters  CVO.

Nomination Process
The nomination process for induction into the Violet Order can happen in a couple different ways. One can be nominated by a majority vote of the Awards & Honors Committee of the Magus Senate or one can be nominated by a member of the Council of Six. Once a person has been nominated a letter is sent to them telling them what rank they have been nominated too. They may either decline the nomination, which does not preclude them from future nomination, or they accept and continue on with the induction process.

Induction Ceremony
The induction ceremony is usually held at the Antonidas Memorial in Dalaran. The nominee may invite anyone they would like to witness the ceremony in addition to the people of Dalaran who are always invited to attend. Generally a member of the awards & honors committee or another distinguished will introduce a nominee, give a speech about what they have done for the city and thanks them for their service. The nominee will then be presented with a staff and a formal decleration declaring them a member of the order. After the ceremony the Magocracy will host a party in the beer garden for the nominees.
