[Erik Mortis]

So... I'm Erik Mortis, Count of Monty Crisco, Baron of Dolor, Marquess of Goldshire CNS?

If you want to list it all, but the Marquess part should be first, then baron, then count. Usually you just use the highest title and say "Lord Goldshire, LK CNS" or "Lord Mortis, LK CNS". The Marquess thing trumps everything, so if I were to address you formally, it would be "The Most Honorable Lord Mortis/Goldshire". The LK means "Lord of the Kehl".
