| There are several titles used for nobility and positions of honor throughout the [[Everwind Series]]. Only those of Royal Houses typically hold Daeken titles or their equivalent, with Baeron and Earlenships being held by Vassal Houses. It is also possible to hold titles in other countries. For example, [[Rylen of Brummel]] lives in [[Andermark]], but he hold the title of [[Baeron]] of [[Irnley]], which applies to [[Praul]].
