A Society-wide order that carries a Patent of Arms. This, along with the Knight is the highest recognition one can receive for martial prowess within the Society. Both Masters and Knights are members of the Chivalry and equal in rank to the Laurel, Pelican and Defense. The badge for this order is (Fieldless) a white baldric. Companions of this order are titled "Master" or "Mistress" and may put the abbreviation MSCA behind their name.
Masters of Arms are not required to swear fealty (unlike Knights) but have the option to swear or not as they so choose. When in fealty to The Crown, they may also wear an unadorned gold chain.
