Noble Ranks

Major Nobles
All major nobles are entitled to an unelected place on the Assembly unless they choose to forgo it. Noble Houses may only be led by major nobles, and Valarians are almost always granted a major title for the purpose of founding a House.


 * Duke - the most senior noble title. A Duke's House is entitled to many channels and several Lords. There are currently no Dukes.
 * Count - a Count's House is entitled to 6 channels, 2 Lords and several Esquires. The only current Count is Acoma.
 * Baron - the least senior of the major titles. A Baron may have 4 House channels, and name a single Lord and Esquire. There are currently 3 Barons: Churchill, Eyre, and Smith.
