The Order of Defense is a Society-wide order. It is one of the five major peerages. Holders of this award are recognized for significant skills in rapier and/or cut and thrust combat.
Kingdom Law says: Membership in this Peerage Order “may be offered to individuals who meet the general criteria for peerage and who have displayed skill at rapier or cut-and�thrust combat at least equal to the level commonly found among existing members of the order.”
Awarded by the Crown, the order bestows a Patent of Arms and the members are titled Master or Mistress of Defense (often shortened to MOD) or other ethnic or linguistic variation. In addition, they are entitled to wear a badge of (tinctureless) three rapiers in pall inverted tips crossed, on a white livery collar. Because this peerage was newly created in 2015, a common term for associates has not yet evolved in the Society. In the East Kingdom, the Masters of Defense have taken to calling their associates "Provosts" in keeping with the practices of the London Masters of Defense, and marking them with a blue livery collar.
