    Legend
    Permanent fame and prestige in the game. Your character gains a unique legend of the award, which is exclusively offered by a contest. Some quests and abilities reward you for these exclusive legends.

    Nobility
    Nobility points can be collected to gain unique, noble garments.

    Noble Garments
    The Loures Lady and Loures Lord garment is offered only to the most noble Aislings. There is no other source of this garment.

    The garment is tailored to your body, so may not be worn by anyone else, nor may be deposited with a mundane.

    Nobility is gained through imagination and education. Aisling works in the library and teaching college classes increase your nobility. See Jean in Loures to learn details on nobility as well as information on teaching college classes.

    Clout Award
    Your recognition empowers your political aspirations. Political clout is a measure of your political power in Temuair. Each work, though, varies in its political importance. A work of history most closely affects politics, then philosophy and so on to the least political: art.
