Titles

A title is a cosmetic honorific added to a player's character name in Shroud of the Avatar. A player can choose what title is displayed for them in game.

Titles can be awarded a number of different ways. Players who pledged to back prior to release were awarded titles based on their pledge level. Players can also earn titles while playing the game.

To view the titles currently available to your avatar or change your currently displayed title, press the minus key ( - ) on your keyboard’s numberpad. This will open (or close) the Title window. Select the title you wish your avatar to display and press the “Set Title” button, or change your title using the same technique. You can stop displaying any title by pressing the “Clear Title” button.
