I've been thinking about Paladin titles.
First, I would really like to see the exact requirements for all of our existing titles. After over a decade of PAFO, many titles are still a complete mystery.
Naohhi was working on such a project before she left: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J-hBgsjZMeKeBIAgo-PuURknxIk-zpUiPJK27ygztE4/edit#gid=326088692
MINOR FIXES
There are four masculine titles that have no feminine equivalent. I propose:
• High Lord/Lady of Justice
• Lord/Lady General
• Lord/Lady Knight
• Lord/Lady Paragon
Currently, the title "Knight" can only be used by males. I would like to see this title be made gender-neutral.
The title "Reverant Shield" should be spelled "Reverent Shield."
The Gorbesh title "Ucho Aha" may be misspelled. According to the Gorbesh dictionary, the word for knight is uchos.
TITLES FOR ANY RACE
Below are some titles for any race. Although there are a few titles with just the typical armor #1 and/or weapon #1 requirement, I tried to get away from that. In particular, I wanted to include skills that are not normally included in Paladin titles (or are only included in token amounts).
Some of these (such as Grand Templar) are upgraded versions of existing titles.

RACIAL TITLES
Here are some titles that can be used by members of the relevant race. I would particularly like to see some references to clans and houses in our racial titles.
When racial language titles are added, I prefer to also have the Common translation available as a choice, as is the case with the recent racial titles that were recently added.
Many of these are slight upgrades of the Knight title, being based on armor, charisma, and horse ownership.
