As the head of state, the King of Ebenthal is the fons honorum of all orders, which are granted at his pleasure. The Pantheon of Honours include both dynastic orders, which are mastered in perpetuity by a dynasty, regardless of their reigning status or not, and by national orders, that belong to the state and are guided by the Head of State, whoever he may be. Dynastic orders are entirely and entirely the responsibility of their Grand Masters, while national orders have government-appointed chancellors who administer membership. The federative units of Ebenthal have the autonomy to create their own orders, but so far only one exists. According to the enacted honors directive, all Ebenthali orders must necessarily be single-graded.
