The '''Orders of Calsahara''' are a series of awards (also called "honors") created to recognize exceptional achievements related to the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. Originally, only the [[King of Calsahara]] had the authority to distribute honors, but after King Montague abdicated in 2014, both the King and the Dictator for Life were authorized as the fonts of honor.

After the [[Colony of Calsahara]] became a client state of [[Westarctica]], its Orders of Chivalry were absorbed into the [[Orders of Westarctica]] and now [[Grand Duke Travis]] is the font of honor for both series of awards.

== Orders in disuse ==
the Colony of Calsahara currently has three order of chivalry considered to be "in disuse." These orders are no longer being awarded, their function having been deemed obsolete with the [[Invasion of Calsahara|liberation of Calsahara]] and subsequent establishment as a colony of [[Westarctica]]. Though no longer awarded, these orders have not been abolished, meaning that their members may still wear their regalia as they would an active order. They will remain in disuse until such time as they are abolished or revived; barring either of those occurring, the orders will become dormant once there are no living members. The two primary orders of chivalry were implemented on 20 November 2009 in Calsahara's founding document, the "[[Calsahara.ppt]]" which described the orders, their precedence, and the criteria for awarding. The fourth order, the Masters of the Universe, was created shortly thereafter, on 14 December 2009.
