Nobles of Efate

The Nobility of this world is a distinguished group of individuals that include both the Imperial Nobles associated with the world as well as any local planetary aristocracy associated with its local government, culture and society.

Description (Specifications)

The Imperial Nobility of this world includes all nobles granted titles associated with the world by either the Emperor of the Third Imperium or the Archduke of the Domain. Landed Imperial Nobles are those Imperial Nobles who have been granted direct representative authority for the world in the Imperial Moot, and who administer Imperial interests associated with this world. The positions these nobles hold are typically noted in the Nobility Extension data of most Imperial world data-files provided by the Imperial Grand Survey of the IISS. Landed Nobles are always uniquely styled as the "TITLE" of "WORLDNAME". Ceremonial Imperial Nobles include those Imperial Nobles who have been appointed to a specific Imperial Office or who perform a specific function for the Imperial government, and who happen to have their associated Imperial Land Grants and a principal place of residence on the world. Imperial Honour Nobles are those nobles who do not have a specific governmental function associated with the particular title, but have been granted the title as a reward for achievement or service, or in some cases are Legacy Nobles whose family have held titles of administration in the past but currently have no specific governmental office, retaining only their lands and title.

Planetary and Local Nobility include individuals who hold a title of aristocracy within the local planetary culture of the world, but in some cases also include Imperial Nobles who do not hold a title associated with the world, but who nevertheless hold some property on the world. Titles, forms, and styles of Local Nobility can be quite diverse.

History & Background (Dossier)

The County of Efate was created before 629. As part of the Regina Cluster, the worlds of this county were originally part of the greater Border County of Regina which owed allegiance to the Duchy of Rhylanor. The creation of the Duchy of Regina in 629 saw this greater County broken up into three smaller counties, the Regina Core County becoming part of the core worlds of the newly created Duchy of Regina, and the County of Efate now owing allegiance to the newly appointed Duke of Regina. The Count of Efate was made a minor Duke in 780 (Border Duke of Efate, First Creation) in order to oversee the coreward Imperial border of the Duchy of Regina as Count of Efate and Duke of the Border. The County and Border Duchy passed to the Emperor in the early 800s on the death of Lord Miles Alan Charndon, the sitting Border Duke.

A subsequent independent Creation of the title of Count of Efate for the County of Efate by the Emperor was followed by an independent 2nd Creation of the title of Duke of the Border, establishing two new and separate noble lines. (Date unknown)

The current dynasty for the County of Efate is independent of the Border Duchy of Efate (the Border Duke of Efate, Second Creation).

The modern Duchy of Efate is a minor Duchy associated with the world Efate that oversees the important Border-March of the County of Efate along the Imperial coreward border of the Duchy of Regina.
