Oora titles are hereditary and rank immediately below royalty, enjoying a higher social status than the rest of the classes. Tarnarian hereditary tradition lacks gender preference and titles are typically inherited regardless of the gender of offspring. However, while some titles are permanently hereditary, a whole class of titles are only temporarily hereditary and there exists a complex set of rules that regulates the proper movement of titles along the lineage.

An Oora can be appointed to virtually any position. For instance, although a Jeenor is a position usually attained through an army career, any Oora can temporarily or permanently be appointed as [[Jeenor]] on the order of a gole or a murdoh.

In writing nobility tended to incorporate [[Jabi]] into their names, replacing some vowels with their Jabi equivalents. For instance, a family name of Moly would be spelled as Moleek, where the last three letters are written using Jabi script. The name is usually concluded with a silent letter, traditionally the letter "k". An oora might also be granted the right to officially ennoble the naming of their estate, giving the bukkean geographic name a Jabi treatment, for example [[Koalderood]].

The Chamber of Land deals with immovable property. In order to own land, one, one's family member or one's patron must be a member of the Chamber of Land. Natural resources, such as water and mineral resources, are also under the purview of the Chamber of Land.

Ooron enjoy a set of privileges that creates a chasm between them and all other non-royal classes.

The Chamber of War deals with the Ooron's obligation to serve the gole during war and provide military support at a moment's notice, as well as raise money for warfare. It is also the Chamber usually responsible for collecting various taxes.

An oora is not expected to perform any manual labor, unless it is in a military or religious context. Ooron typically live off of an estate.

The Chamber of Law deals with judicial matters.

An oora can be appointed to virtually any high position in society. For instance, although a Jeenor is a position usually attained through an illustrious army career, any Oora can temporarily or permanently be appointed as [[Jeenor]] on the order of a gole or a murdoh.

The Chamber of Honor is dedicated to foreign affairs, religion and moral laws of the land.

An oora can also serve in the court of Ooron, which is the administrative arm of the royal court, although eligibility for such a position is not determined in a straightforward manner.

 

Throughout the first and second revolutions ooron were generally allowed to not only have significant private armies, but also engage in armed feuds. These private wars were in some regions strictly regulated by the monarch.

 

Ranks within the nobility are numerous and can be divided into honorary titles and wealth-based titles.
