Wetterae

Elevations can only be granted by the 1st peer of the tianz - the Kanterk, Sh'Seren, S'Nehr.

Death of the incumbent title holder is the most common route of elevation.

The courtesy titles available to the sons of a Title depend on the number of ranks below the encumbent.

The Kanterk, Sh'Seren, S'Nehr has 7 courtesy titles. Should there be more than VII sons, only the VII oldest can have a courtesy title.

At the other end of the scale a Maarona does not have any available courtesy titles.

 

Some LXV cycles prior to the events occurring in the Primarl's Heir the Sh'Seren Ffalla had XII sons:

Sons by Order  Birth Name Courtesy title Place of Courtesy Title
Heir Ast Seren Sotomere (Province 1)
II Feyn Serenna Llema (Province II)
III Pret Primarl Llemadaran (Capital of Ffalla)
IV Õin Arla Mankeyne (Coastal port)
V Õein Arlja Tren (mining town)
VI Õaan Maaro Bodarn (large border fortress)
VII Õain Maarona Kamreth (border fortress)
VIII Õn, Õnn, Õnne None  

By 3425, despite the tragic deaths of the Sh'Seren Ffalla and his three eldest sons when a pre-NightSky dam on the Malatanike River burst, Õin had only been elevated I rank.

As the 1st peer of the Wetterae, Õin was able to declare the titles of Sh'Seren, Seren and Serena vacant for elevations.
