Noble ranks in Lorenda

The noble ranks in Lorenda reflect the status and power of members of nobility. These titles can either be inherited through their position, or passed down via primogeniture. The nobility has had a key role in shaping Lorendan society and government, as they serve as the base for historical and contemporary governmental affairs. These positions still maintain regional influence today, yet their powers have been largely curbed to become ceremonial in nature.

The nobility is split into two classes, succession eligible positions and ineligible aristocratic positions.


 * Taewang: Great King, this is the head of the ruling family and the highest authority of the land.
 * Wangbi or Wang: Also known as the royal consort, this is the spouse of the current Great King (or Great Queen).
 * Wangseja or Wangsejabin: The most likely and closest heir for succession, the rank is equivalent to a Crown Prince or Crown Princess.
 * Gun or Gongju: Translating to Prince and Princess, these titles refer to the sons and daughters of the ruling sovereign.
 * Bin: Used to describe the concubines under the Gracious Women of the Royal Court organization, this practice has largely fallen out of favor since the 18th century in order to promote traditional family and marriage values.
 * Gong: Roughly translated to Duke, these positions provide oversight over a province or serve as the heads of large local clans.
 * Champan: Equivalent to a Marquis, the rank serves as an overseeing position for smaller districts.
 * Poguk: Also known as a Count, it is a middle rank of the Lorendan hierarchy.
 * Panso: This version of a viscount is a non-hereditary rank, used to administrate judicial orders.
