In order to receive these titles, one must be nominated by another or self-nominate. Once the nomination is completed, the individual creature must show proof that they are eligible for the title ((a "screenshot" sent privately to show proof of their completion of classes needed to master a subject)). Once the proof is obtained, unless there is severe objection to the creature holding a title, the title will be bestowed by the current Viceroy of the Republic of Bravia.

With sheaf of parchments in his fist and a flotilla of medals and ribbons draped over a forearm, Logo approached the Viceregal Inn.
Inconspicuous isn't an adjective usually applied, but the troll cleared his throat and gave his tusks a check-wipe as modestly as possible before speaking.
"Helly'Oh! everywho! Izza me, the logo. Iffy you hazza completeded all the studies for your workyshop or way, please step up anna speak here to claim your title.
Iffy you know somewho what has, then speak up anna let's get 'em nominated."
Medallions depicting workshops and professions glinted with gold and silver as the troll waved his arm.
"These izza awards for those who work hard perfecting their crafts in workshops (Level 2) or in a chosen way (Level 3)
Izza correspond to fancy list of those holding titles inna castle of our great republic."
Handing out pieces of application parchments, he continued to speak,
"Imma want everywho what has done the hard work a studyin' & practicin' to be recognized ... and have every master worky-shop in the Bravia to be promoteded publicly inna castle for all to see -- azza example to others anna source of proudness to all. "
