I'm in the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is a medieval re-creationist organization. (www.sca.org)
I have earned the rank of member of the Order of the Pelican which is a Peer of the Realm for service. There are also the Order of the Laurel (Peers for Arts and Sciences) and Order of the Chivalry (Peers for heavy armored combat) and Royal Peers (those who have served as Royalty)
Peers can, and most do, take students to teach them in the area that they are a Peer for. Most Pelicans call their students Proteges. I personally have never liked the work and refer to almost all students of any Peer as their Associates.
Yesterday I took my first student. Which is symbolized by the belt she is wearing and the oath chain that I'm putting around her neck. (I'm the one in the red russian outfit)
