As part of the Landsraad reforms currently ongoing, a suggestion has been made that the system of noble titles should be streamlined somewhat... removing the Patrician/Equestrian/Civitas nomenclature and making the distinction between hereditary and non-hereditary titles in each rank more explicit.
These (along with the current system and the always-important "other" option) are some of the naming systems that I've heard being batted around, with each rank listing first the hereditary title and then the non-hereditary one. It should be noted that although "Count" no longer appears as a noble title in these schemes, it could instead be used for something else, perhaps in lieu of "governor" for counties being developed under the Spheres of Influence program.

Re: A COMPLETELY complete Noble Titles poll
I am keen for the Duke/Baron/Thane divide (with Count = Governor); but I don't mind how they're expressed nonhereditarily.

Re: A COMPLETELY complete Noble Titles poll
The word "Thane" sets my teeth on edge, but not enough to make too many waves.

Re: A COMPLETELY complete Noble Titles poll
This poll is obviously not COMPLETELY complete without a LIZARD KING option.
Re: A COMPLETELY complete Noble Titles poll
Of course, then we'd have to do Lizard-Dukes, Lizard-Barons, etc. Or, for a bit more variety, possibly Turtle-Dukes, Chameleon-Barons, and Newt-Thanes...

Re: A COMPLETELY complete Noble Titles poll
I want to keep the Patrician/Equestrian/Civitas system for being generic about titles. I don't care if we change the names really. cause then we have a generic term for both hereditary, non-hereditary and any of titles on that level of nobility.
