The '''Order of Kolios''' is the highest [[Orders and Decorations of Kolios|Order of Kolios]]. The intention of the order is to honor those who have provided a service to [[Principality of Kolios|Kolios]]. It was created on 20 September 1995. Membership in the order is currently awarded by Princess Arlene, as the Sovereign of Kolios.
 
==History of the Order==
[[File:OKolOriginal.jpg|500px|thumb|Current regalia of the Order of Kolios. Pictured, L to R are: breast star of a Dame/Knight Grand Cross, neck badge of a Knight Commander, and drape medal of a Dame/Knight]]
The order was created the day that the then Kingdom of Kolios was founded as the lower of two orders. When Kolios became a principality within the Empire of Agber in 1998, the [[Sanctified Order of the Crucifix]] was designated as an order of the Empire. This move left the Order of Kolios as the only order exclusive to the Principality, making it the highest order, by default. When the Sanctified Order of the Crucifix was returned to Kolios in 2020, the Order of Kolios retained its position as the highest honor.
 
The order is being overhauled as a part of the sweeping changes intended to be enacted by [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prince Garibald]] once he assumes the throne on 26 February 2022. These include a redesign of the regalia, contracting the number of levels to two, and changing the name to the Most Honorable Order of Kolios.
 
==Membership==
 
There are three classes of the Order, each with their own unique regalia:
 
* '''Knight/Dame''' which is denoted by the wear of a medallion suspended from a green ribbon in a tri-fold (sometimes called Windsor) style.
* '''Knight/Dame Commander''' which is denoted by the wear of a medallion of the order affixed to a green necklet. Dames Commander may elect to wear the medallion attached to a green bow.
* '''Knight/Dame Grand Cross''' which is denoted by the wear of the star of the order and a green sash, worn from the right shoulder to the left hip.
 
===Sovereign of the Order===
The current Sovereign and font of honor for the order is Princess Arlene, as the reigning monarch of Kolios. While her current rank of Dame Grand Cross officially is equal in precedence with others who hold that rank, her status as ''Member Ex-Officio'' gives her functional precedence within the order.
