Titles & Questionable Honors
Pick one. Combine a few irresponsibly. Or make up your own.
There Is a Buttload to Choose From
Crow Seminary maintains an unnecessarily large collection of ceremonial titles, honors, absolutions, pardons, degrees, and distinctions. They are here for inspiration, not restriction.
You are not required to choose from this list. If the exact title your friend deserves does not exist yet, this is your chance to improve civilization.
Think of the possibilities. That coworker who has mastered dramatic pauses. The relative who needs an Official Pardon for Poor Life Choices. The friend whose shrubbery logistics have gone criminally unrecognized. The person in your life who is clearly a Roostmaster but simply has never had the paperwork.
Choose the title. Add their name. Bestow it with the seriousness it absolutely does not deserve.
Forgiveness, Pardon & Release
Fresh starts, symbolic clean slates, ceremonial “my bad,” and formal permission to stop discussing that one group chat.
Titles & Honorary Roles
Knights, Dukes, Oracles, Sages, Druids, Monks, crow-specific offices, and other positions the world somehow forgot to regulate.
Honorary Degrees
Impressive-looking novelty recognition for walls, parties, gifts, and private amusement. Not for professional or academic use.
Absurd & Highly Questionable
This is where good judgment comes to rest. Shrubbery. Rubber chickens. Bucket carrying. Mild peril. You have been warned.
