Description
[edit | edit source]A title of a person refers to a formal or honorary designation that indicates the individual's social, professional, or noble standing. Titles are often used to convey authority, respect, or a specific role within a community, organization, or society. They can be inherited, granted, or earned based on achievements, positions, or affiliations. Titles can also be honorifics, either positive (Rohal the Wise; Phileasson, King of the Seas) or negative (Borbarad, the Demonmaster).
Titles often serve to establish a person's identity, rank, status, or qualifications, and the use of titles can vary across cultures, professions, and social contexts.
Titles may vary by region. In Arania the equivalent to a baronesses is the beyrouni. In Tulamidya the emir is equivalent to a count.
Secular Titles
[edit | edit source]- Royalty: Emperor/Empress, King/Queen, and Prince/Princess indicating a person's royal or regal status within a monarchy.
- Nobility Titles: Duke/Duchess, Count, or Baron/Baroness which denote various ranks of nobility.
- Offices: Burgomaster or Council member to identify an office of citizenship.

Ranks and according titles vary between the churches of the Twelvegods because the hierarchies within the churches vary in depth. The church of Nandus even rejects a hierarchy altogether.
