As all the [[Mantoni]]an civil service, military, and legislature is composed of members of the various [[Mantonian Order|orders]], the rank system is obviously of vital importance.

The ranks within each order are:

*Novice
*Warrior
*Knight
*Sorcerer(ess) or Knight Captain[[#Footnotes|¹]]

The relative rank of persons of the same rank in different Orders is related to the relative prestige of the Orders. A Knight Adventurer of a [[Noble Order]] is of lower rank than a Knight Adventurer from a [[Royal Order]]; but, all other things being equal, a Knight of the [[Royal Order of the Lion|Lion]] outranks a Knight of the [[Royal Order of the Dragon|Dragon]] because the Dragon have lower prestige than the Lion.

In cases of closely-related orders, such as the [[Noble Order of the Moon|Moon]] and the Dragon, the distinction is further blurred. A Sorceress of the Moon may well be considered to outrank a [[Knight Captain]] of the Dragon depending on individual position within the order.

In addition to the intra-order ranks, one member of each order will represent the Order on the relevant Council, and there are ranks such as [[Lord General]] which also attract prestige; the current highest ranking non-[[Royal Order of the Crown|Crown]] person in [[Mantoni]] is [[Lord General]] [[Alvarez]] of the [[Royal Order of the Scorpion]].

The [[Royal Order of the Crown]] outranks all other Royal Orders, as it is composed of the royal family.
