However, I think before you can actually truly begin creating one it is necessary to qualify how attainment is achieved, and if you intend to create a submentioned  title.

To be frank, this sounds about right. Forced to leave due to death or being "deathly ill" would restrict general access to the title. Suicides might need to blocked, imo anyway. The attainability of the title should be extremely restrictive. It is a special title. It is not for just anyone. If fact, it is arguably not a title one aspires to attain, but a title one is granted. A subpage can be added for less stringent acceptance.
