The term Peerage as used within the Imperial Nobility refers to the collective body of all Imperial Nobility holding their titles directly from the Emperor, and who are therefore considered "Peers" or "having parity with" or "being on a par with" the Emperor, thus having both the right and privilege to sit in the Imperial Moot and give him counsel. The Baronage generally falls immediately below the Imperial Peerage in precedence, although it overlaps that body in regard to those members of the Imperial Baronage who are Landed Imperial Barons.


Description

A Peer is defined in Imperial Law as a member of the Imperial Nobility, the dignity of whose title derives from its original creation or elevation by the Emperor as a member of the Imperial Baronage as a Landed Imperial Baron, or as an Imperial Noble with the rank of Marquis or higher. Baronets created by the Emperor (as opposed to an Archduke) as a Landed Imperial Baronet are also accorded voting rights in the Moot though not normally otherwise being considered Peers. Archdukes are occasionally granted the privilege of creating Barons for their own needs - such Barons rank with but behind Imperial Barons, but are not normally considered Peers. [1]

Barons and Baronets collectively belong to separate bodies refered to as Baronages based upon the Realm of the Overlord to whom their fealty is due. The Peerage and the Imperial Baronage thus partially overlap.

Peers accused of Treason may only be tried in the Imperial High Court.
