| 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, though there are a few exceptions. It is also possible to hold titles in other countries. For example, [[Rylen of Brummel]] lives in [[Andermark]], but he holds the title of [[Baeron]] of [[Irnley]], which applies to [[Praul]].
