Editing Order of the Thorn (section)

==Grades==
The five grades of appointed to the Order are, in descending order of precedence:

*''Martyr'' (MYR){{efn|This is the only grade in the entirety of the Sanctarian honours system that allows for individuals to be appointed posthumously. Only those who are killed in the line of duty while in the service of the Sanctarian military, police, or intelligence forces are eligible to be appointed to this rank.}}
*''Valorant'' (VLR)
*''Guardian'' (GDN){{efn|Individuals in the [[Sanctarian Defence Forces]] who reach flag officer level (that is, who are promoted to general/admiral rank or above) are appointed to this rank as a matter of form, should they not have already been appointed to it already.}}
*''Legionnaire'' (LGR)

Officially the full names of the grades are "''GRADE NAME'' of the Order of the Thorn", but the full titles have fallen out of use, with only the actual grades themselves used in common parlance.
