==Sacraments of Union==
===Courtly Title Address===
Unionism has several Sacraments, or Rituals, performed throughout one's lifetime, which are done by clergy during key points in a Unionist's life. Some are optional, such as the Sacrament of Harmony and Humanum, though the Sacrament of Entry and Everwatch are mandatory for all Unionists.
Titles are static and can only be changed by the Emperor, including the proper address. When one has multiple ranks in this table, the highest rank is always used as form of address. In most cases, these addresses can be produced with "Your grace" or "Your Eminence". In some cases for example with "Your Lord", where this would sound odd, the address instead becomes "Your Lordship". This only occurs for Your Lordship and Your Ladyship, whereas Most Honorable becomes "Your High Honor".

===Sacrament of Birth Blessing===
The first Sacrament in most Unionist lives is the Birth Blessing. Upon the birth of a Human in a Unionist family, the baby must be blessed by a priest reading the First Creed to the baby, usually when it has just come out of its mother. This Sacrament represents initiation of the Human baby into the duty and rights of a Unionist, but also serves to cleanse the newborn of any past non-Human life they may have suffered, to prepare them for their second chance at redemption.
'''Applicable to:''' Newborn Humans in Unionist Families
===Sacrament of Entry===
The next Sacrament is the Sacrament of Entry. Entry Sacraments are performed by those who enter the service of the Regalian state. This means all soldiers, knights, nobles, state officials, politicians and priests, or children who aspire to be of those professions, go through this Sacrament. In this Sacrament, the children (usually between ages 10 and 13) must profess the Creeds of Union, and be able to recite them in their most basic rudimentary form during a sermon on their Communion day (though are not required to memorize the full translations, as such requires several years of religious tutelage). The Communion Sacrament is seen as entry of one's duty to the Human Fate. Anyone who has an employment as subject to the Regalian State must have gone through the Sacrament of Entry.
'''Applicable to:''' Military, Nobles, Knights, State Officials, Politicians
===Sacrament of Communal Entry===
The next Sacrament is the first mandatory Sacrament to be undergone by a Unionist, as it is considered a Unionist's formal entrance into Communion with the rest of the Unionist Divine, and as a public proclamation of one's duty to the Great Way. Consequently, it is also the first Sacrament taken as a non-Unionist who wishes to convert from their previous faith. In this Sacrament, Unionist-born children at the age of 10 years old (or converts) must profess the Creeds of Union, and be able to provide a rudimentary summary of what each one means during the sermon. After completion of their recitation, the presiding priest traces an Eye of Union on the forehead of the individual with Holy Water, before concluding with a blessing and proclamation of their formal entry into the Unionist Divine.
'''Applicable to:''' All Unionists/Converts
===Sacrament of Harmony===
The Sacrament of Harmony is performed to each wedding made in the Unionist church and blessed by the Sancella. It should be noted that marriage in Regalia isn't exactly the same as a church marriage. The church and the state do not have the same ideology or legislation concerning marriage, and as such, having a marriage agreed upon by the State, is not the same as getting a marriage from the Church. Church marriage is always subject to canon law, though does not have to particularly come before or after a state marriage, and can in fact be made entirely separately depending on whether the state marriage even took place or not (though the state never recognizes religious marriages for legal reasons). If divorced or widowed, the Sacrament of Harmony is repeated with every new spouse, meaning the Sacraments of Harmony duplicate. A man who divorced his first wife and remarried, thus has two Sacraments of Harmony. Note, because Sects and Churches are allowed to have their own interpretation of what passes for a marriage, it is quite possible to have a Sacrament of Harmony that is recognized by one clergyman but rejected by another.
'''Applicable to:''' Those who are married in the Unionist Church
===Sacrament of Blessings===
The Sacrament of Blessings is intended for individuals who have their soul status elevated to Humanum, when their body is still non-Humanum. This Sacrament is still issued by the Conclave but not officially performed since it is always implied when the Emperor through the Imperial Spirit promotes someone's soul. This Sacrament is the rarest Sacrament, since Emperors very rarely promote anyone. In fact, many Emperors have gone through life never promoting any individual to Humanum.
'''Applicable to:''' Humanum Status Grants
===Sacrament of Slumber===
The final Sacrament is the Sacrament of  Slumber, the death rite. The Sacrament of Slumber is performed for those who have passed, but it differs radically per social class. Richer citizens can afford a crypt burial, involving priests reciting the relevant Creeds and heavy use of incense, while the more common folk will simply be cremated and their ashes put in a grave with a simple prayer. It is custom to dress the dead in robes of black, while all those who mourn for their death are dressed in pure white. This is to emphasize that even if their passed spirit cannot see themselves, they can always see those who are still on Aloria and living, and focus their energy to further their cause instead of any worldly selfish desires.
'''Applicable to:''' All dead Unionists
