[[Tarnaria|Tarnarian]] royal ranks is a system of ranks that originated in the [[State of Asdoh]] in the middle of the 16th [[CFR]]. It has generally persisted over the ages and is continued to be used today, albeit with some changes.

[[Tarnaria|Tarnarian]] royal ranks is a system of ranks that originated in the [[State of Asdoh]] in the middle of the 16th [[CFR]]. It has generally persisted over the ages and is continued to be used today, although a number of significant power balancing changes have been introduced in [[Toor]] and later in [[Mantareia]]. Assemblic monarchy has shifted away from many of the household-oriented titles, instead expanding the administrative ranks and effectively elevating the Uron court to the Assembly.

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.

Also known as the Hogloh of Aanua (Order of the House), the ranks are believed to have either originated or been heavily inspired by a similar system in [[Western Dantrian civilization|Dantria]].

'''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.

During the Mōroh period, [[Toor (political entity)|toors]] frequently used simplified systems of ranks, but ones that were invariably based on the Hogloh of Aanua.

 

 

'''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.

 

 

'''Uroh''', sometimes spelled as Oora, is somewhat equivalent to a Lord. It's usually a member of a ruler's government and/or trusted circle. Uroh can be appointed to virtually any position. For instance, although a Jeenor is a position usually attained through an army career, any Uroh can temporarily or permanently replace [[Jeenor]] on the order of a King or a Murdoh. Uron get appointed to the Assembly in [[assemblic monarchy|assemblic monarchies]]. They are the ones chosen as negotiators in a [[Toor_(political_entity)|toor]].

Murdoh is a title of governor, designated to a non-elected public official with the power to run a non-sovereign level of government, typically a city or a region of a state. Appointed by the head of state, it is usually the second-powerful rank in the country. Murdon have their own court that has the same structure as that of a Gole, including having their own Goler Poton (the Royal Guard).

=== Uroh ===

==== Oora of land ====

Uroh /'ʊrɑː/ (pl. Uron), spelled as Oora after the first revolution, and usually translated to "Lord", is a member of a ruler's court and/or trusted circle in a broader sense. Most courtiers of a monarch are Ooran.

Oora of land is the oldest Oora rank that dates back to the first revolution and the [[State of Asdoh]], with possible links to [[Western Dantrian civilization|Western Dantria]]. It effectively gives its holder total control of a piece of land, coupled with complete obedience to the Gole. The latter means that a perceived betrayal gives the Gole the power to revoke the title and any control of a piece of land that comes with it.

==== Uroh of land ====

Interestingly enough, however, the Gole cannot cancel the title itself. This has to do with the Gole Assent, which is the three promises that formalize the justification of Gole's power to his nobles:

* The Promise of Stability

* The Promise of the True Path

Interestingly enough, however, the Gole cannot cancel the title itself. This has to do with the Great Gole Assent, which is the three promises that formalize (or "explain", as spoken in the original [[Bukk|Asdoh]], which holds the meaning of "promise" or "reassure" in this case) the justification of Gole's power:

Gole Assent's literal phrasing is that these promises "explain gole's power".
