The Order of the Pelican

The Order of the Pelican is a Society-wide order that is awarded for significant services to the Society. It is one of the four major Bestowed Peerages. The order bestows a Patent of Arms and the members are titled "Master" or "Mistress" or other ethnic or linguistic variation. In addition, they are entitled to wear a badge of either A pelican vulning herself or A pelican in her piety. Some Pelicans choose to take on associates who are known as protégés.
