Well, yes-and-no. In the Ansteorran Order of Precedence, a White
Scarf has the same rank as a Centurion, an Iris, a Star of Merit and
an Arc d'Or. In reality, since the Centurion (armored combat) the
Iris (A&S) and the Star of Merit (service) all have higher-level
awards available, they don't tend to have quite as much prestige as
the White Scarf or the Arc d'Or.
And since the White Scarf has been around for 28 years and is now
used in 12 different kingdoms, it does tend to have quite a bit of
prestige. But if a group of people were lining up in precedence
order, baby-Don Pointjock who got his White Scarf two weeks ago,
would still line up behind Gilli, who got his Arc d'Or, Iris and Star
years ago.
