I am a fan of titles − especially correlating with the tiers. Make up your own. Think about your D&D class.
Levels 1 to 4: student tier
Examples of titles: Student So-and-so of the College of Such-and-such. Page of Sire/Dame So-and-so. Apprentice So-and-so of Wizard So-and-so. Apprentice of the Such-and-such Guild.
Levels 5 to 8: professional tier
Examples of titles: Journeyer of Guild. Squire of Sire/Dame of Lord/Lady. Merchant of. Adventurer of. Artisan of.
Levels 9 to 12: master tier
Examples of titles: Master of Guild. Knighthood of. Sire/Dame So-and-so Wizard of. Chief of.
Levels 13 to 16: leader tier
Examples of titles: Archon, Archwizard, Archdruid, Archon Wizard, Noble, Lord/Lady, Grandmaster, Prince/Princess. His/Her Holiness. Highness. Majesty. Jarl. Royal. King/Queen. Monarch. Imperial.
Levels 17-20: legend tier
Examples of titles: The Great. Magnificent. Marvelous. Wondrous. Exalted. Supreme.
Have great fun with titles. They can correspond to traditional cultures, poetic stylizing, or be idiosyncratic innovations to defines ones own personal power. For example, a Norse tradition apparently has the jarl of the elves go by the title ‘Songster’ (lióði), correlating to the elves as a democracy of mages, who choose a leader known to sing (gala) powerful magical song (lióð).
Titles can be flamboyant or discrete. And a character can have MANY titles. All you need is other people to recite them for you.
I meant titles like Khan, Padishah, Viscount etc. 1E and 2E
had stuff like that in them. I get inspiration (advantage on D&D campaign design) from reading the AD&D DMG's.
