Re: 'Imperial Culture' (non-canonista)
Prince(cess) of Honor(local not imperial custom):
Adoption is widely used for a number of purposes including sealing interclan alliances and giving fictive dynastic significance to authorities chosen by tannistry. Honorary adoption is a sometimes a means of giving recognition; unlike other forms of adoption it confers no specific obligations on the adopter or adoptee not already possessed. To be a Prince or Princess of Honor is the highest distinction. It involves being officially given an honorary adoption into the High Chief's family.
