The '''Order of the Thorn''' ([[wikipedia:Latin|Latin]]: ''Ordo Spini'') is a [[Sanctaria|Sanctarian]] order of merit founded on 14 August 1699 by Paul VIII, [[Patriarch of the Church of Sanctaria]] to honour Sanctarians who proved themselves in battle while in service of the Patriarch. Although it is Sanctaria's oldest order of merit, it is the lowest ranking of the three, with the [[Order of the Dove]] and [[Order of Sanctaria]] ranking higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Order's motto is ''Acta fortium'', which translates to &amp;quot;Acts of the Brave&amp;quot; and, since November 1974 and the transfer of power from the [[Church of Sanctaria]] to a secular independent government, the Order's Grand Master has been the [[President of Sanctaria]]. The [[Secretary of Homeland Security (Sanctaria)|Secretary of Homeland Security]] is nominally the Secretary General of the Order, but in reality civil servants in the [[Department of Homeland Security (Sanctaria)|Department of Homeland Security]] carry out this duty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appointees to the Order typically are those who have given long service, or shown valour in battle, in the [[Sanctarian Defence Forces]], however members of the [[Sanctarian Federal Police]], [[Sanctarian Intelligence Service]], or [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] who are killed in the line of duty are also eligible to be posthumously appointed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Grades==&lt;br /&gt;
The five grades of appointed to the Order are, in descending order of precedence:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*''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.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*''Valorant'' (VLR)&lt;br /&gt;
*''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.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*''Legionnaire'' (LGR)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officially the full names of the grades are &amp;quot;''GRADE NAME'' of the Order of the Thorn&amp;quot;, but the full titles have fallen out of use, with only the actual grades themselves used in common parlance.&lt;br /&gt;
