	Eligibility for some titles may be limited to membership of a [[Conclave order]], a specific [[~~Imperial~~ Synod\|assembly]] or [[Imperial sodality]].

	Imperial titles that are appointed by the Conclave or the Bourse are explicitly protected by the Constitution. They cannot be made subject to revocation by the Imperial Synod.

	The Senate can grant an Imperial title the custodianship of a commission. A custodian is not automatically assumed to be involved in the day to day operation of the commission but is assumed to direct those efforts. If the commission were to be threatened in any way, it would be their responsibility of the custodian to deal with those threats. Likewise, if any [[opportunity]] relating to the commission presented itself, they would make any decisions needed to take advantage of that. The custodian cannot take any action that would require a legal power to authorise, such as [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Abrogation\|abrogating]] or [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Concedence\|ceding]] the commission (which are powers of the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]]).

	The custodian does not receive additional information about events in the Empire, nor can they request special reports or downtime actions. These details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. The title holder is encouraged to create their own stories about their activities within reasonable limits and to get involved in events appropriate to their title during the game, but they do not have any options beyond those explicitly listed for the commission or provided by an opportunity. Plot that involves a commission will be rare - but the power exists to create the potential for it to happen.

	A title may be assigned one or more legal powers.
