Worlds & Cosmology (Astrography)[edit]
Structure in 1105[edit]
- Regina (Spinward Marches 1910): Duke (See also County of Regina below)
- Yori (Spinward Marches 2110): Knight and Baron (Barony held by the Duke of Regina)
- · Note that historically the original Baron of Regina had the Count of Regina executed for treason by the order of then Regent Arbellatra, who subsequently elevated the Baron to a Marquisate and appointed him to the role of acting Ceremonial Viscountcy overseeing the County. When the County of Regina was subsequently converted into a Dukedom, the County of Regina was absorbed into the title as a submerged subsidiary title of the Duchy and the title became a part of the Duke's personal holdings, which were subsequently inherited by the Marquis of Regina when he was elevated to the position of the first Duke. The County of Regina today is thus directly held by the Duke of Regina as a core component of the Duchy of Regina.
