Polling Order

From Compendum Caidis
Jump to navigationJump to search

A Polling Order is one whose Companions are consulted by the Crown prior to elevating new members. These include the Orders of the Chivalry, the Laurel, the Pelican, and Order of Defense. Additionally, the Chiron, The Golden Lance and the Vanguard of Honor are polling orders. The Order of the White Scarf of Caid was also a poling order, prior to its closure in 2015.

In Caid, the consultation process is usually driven by the Orders, which proactively make recommendations to the Crown regarding those people the Companions believe should be added to the Order. Traditionally, Caidan monarchs do not elevate Their subjects to the Peerage (Chivalry, Laurel, Pelican, Defense) without the consent of the Order.
