Hierarchy
The Monarchy
The Kingdom of Cailean is neither a matriarchal, nor a patriarchal society. Spouses are not considered of the line. Only directly biological children. Siblings who do not take succession are called Princes and Princesses, but may only accept the throne should the eldest child not be viable. Adopted siblings may eventually accept the throne, but only should no one else be viable. The ruling Sovereign must step down after one thousand years or if the people should so desire it.
The Keytris family overthrew the Avedons / Ithildins in 8097. In 8098 the Ithildins reclaimed their throne.
Sovereign: Queen, King. Your Majesty / Your Grace / Sire. The height of the kingdom and carries all the responsibilities that go with it.
Sovereign Consort: Also known as King Consort if male, or Queen Consort if female. Your Majesty / Your Grace / Sire. Cannot inherit. Is the married lover / mate of the sovereign. Has privilege and some responsibilities.
Crown Prince / Princess: Your Royal Highness. Is next in line to inherit the throne. Only eligible through the sovereign blood line regardless of gender.
Royal Consort: Your Grace / Sire / Lady. One step under their partner’s status. Has privilege but no real responsibilities. Similar to a concubine. Often referred to as a Prince Consort if male, Princess Consort if female. Cannot inherit.

- The Crown Jewels, a moon crescent bindi is given to each of the royal family. This is considered proof they are of the right bloodlines. The jewel is pure white until blood-bonded to the person. It then becomes violet if they are Ithildin, and teal if they are of Avedon blood. It can only be removed by the head priestess of Moonbow, or death, or extremely powerful magic.
- The Moon Jewel. This is given to adopted children of those bearing the Crown Jewels. These look the same as the blood-bonded Crown Jewels but can be easily removed at any time and is not embedded in the skin.

It then becomes the colour matching their partner. Violet for Ithildins and teal for Avedons. This jewel may be easily removed at any time and worn again as it is not embedded in their skin. It turns white when removed and will not work for anyone else.
Local Nobility / Council
Nobles may influence the Crown and rule the given land to them. The titles extend to families only of immediate marriage and children. Visiting nobility from other kingdoms are treated well but hold no power. If a player is on this list, it is because they have earned the position in character through service. There is no way to buy or gain nobility status otherwise.
Only one member of each noble family may sit on the Council. The Council may convene to vote on important matters, hold court and trial, and may choose to change laws. Though the Crown has the final say on all matters, the Council holds great sway.
Duke / Duchess: Your Grace. Given a similar role to Counts. They have a claim to the throne should the Royal family perish or abdicate. This role is mostly to appease fallen royal family ties.
Count(ess): My Lord / Lady. Rule a particular city and surrounding land on behalf of the Crown. They may change laws and alter things within reason of power so long as they do not break Crown laws. Only Counts and Dukes may be among the Council.
Baron(ess): My Lord / Lady. Have large estates and powerful businesses or industries. This may include a small village centered on a keep by the same name.
Noblesse Sir / Dame: My Lord / Lady. The knights of the kingdom and lesser nobility. These people are given small fiefs to manage or other positions of power for their service.

The Militia
To join the militia please see Work & Guilds.
Knights, given titles by the Monarchy, in return for their oath of loyalty and service and highly skilled. Frequently, but not universally highborn. Split into two ranks once fully trained. Obeyed above guards.
Militia Commander: Runs the organization, generally only taking part in higher-significance fights, and chief strategist. Commander of the Guards, as well as the Knights.
Knight Captain: Similar to the Guard Sergeants, is a duly appointed knight posted to a command role among the knights and reports directly to the Knight Commander. During major attacks, Knight Captains disperse to organize squadrons of knights and may commandeer nearby guards and guard sergeants during emergencies. Given to knights who prove themselves both in tactical merit, as well as personal skill.
Royal Knight: Serves in a command role, on or off the field of battle, generally better armed and armored than the average guard. May command the service of guards. Likely to have received significantly more training than average.
Knight Squire: Squires hold no authority.
—
The guards are the first line of enforcing the law. However, they are not all-powerful. They are to be obeyed, though if someone feels they are wrongfully treated they may appeal. Non-noble or otherwise not knighted, and make up the bulk of the forces. All report to the Militia Commander.
Inquisitor: A position that is equal to the Sergeant. They question people and perform investigations on behalf of the Crown and guard.
Guard Sergeant: A more experienced guard trusted to lead small contingents of less experienced guards.
Royal Guard: Conscripted, fighters, trained to a passable level, Armor is generally cheap, but effective linen gambeson covered by a layer of chainmail. Very standardized, and an ideal option for NPC. Ideally organized into groups of a Sergeant or knight leading several guards.
Guard Trainee: Trainees hold no authority.
