| The ranks are believed to have either originated or been heavily inspired by a similar system in [[Western Dantrian civilization|Dantria]], due to the sophistication that would be difficult to explain otherwise. Settlers of the [[Dawn]] have exported a similar system to [[Yammoe]], although [[Order of Mahrney|that system]] has experienced a more turbulent evolution. | | The ranks are believed to have either originated or been heavily inspired by a similar system in [[Western Dantrian civilization|Dantria]], due to the sophistication that would be difficult to explain otherwise.

− | '''Gole-vy-Gole''' (King of Kings) is an imperial rank used by rulers who preside over several territories and peoples. Some monarchs have used the title to signal an ambition to build an empire and to proclaim their status to be higher than that of other monarchs. In some cases, the usage of the title would provoke a conflict. | + | '''Gole-vy-gole''' (king of kings) is an imperial rank used by rulers who preside over several territories and peoples.

− | '''Gole''' is a monarch. The title is used for both males and females. The Gole's spouse does not hold the title, but is the first in the line of succession to the throne. In some cases, when the spouse takes the throne, due to Gole's untimely death, for example, the regent might be referred to as Mel-Gole - "lesser monarch". This is not to lessen the standing of the regent, but to stress the status of the one passed away. | + | '''Gole''' is a monarch. The title is used for both males and females.

− | '''Gole Jeenor''' (King General) is a title frequently used by warlords. It is also sometimes used if the ruler has no descendants or if the ruler does not wish for their descendants to inherit the title, or if the system of government does not permit the title to be hereditary for one reason or another. In most cases Gole Jeenor is the same as Gole and carries a cultural note, but in some cases Gole Jeenor would be considered of a slightly lesser status than a proper Gole. | + | '''Gole Jeenor''' (King General) is a title frequently used by warlords.
