Lands of the Ibran peninsula[]
Ranks used in the non-Roknari countries of the Ibran peninsula:
| Rank | Notes | Rough equivalent |
|---|---|---|

| royse/royesse | Child of a roya/royina. | prince/princess |
| provincar/provincara | Commanded a province and all therein, appointed by the roya/royina. Not necessarily a hereditary position. | duke |

Prince was used for rulers and high nobles of other lands, as in the Roknari Prince Sordso (Paladin of Souls) and Prince Jokol Skullsplitter of the southern islands (The Hallowed Hunt).
The Weald[]
The ruler of the Weald at the time of The Hallowed Hunt was referred to as the hallow king. His children used the title prince or princess. Other titles include earl, used for the head of each kin-group and perhaps others. In the Weald of The Hallowed Hunt, earl-ordainers were the heads of eight great kin houses who elected the hallow king on the death of the old king; the equivalent in the religious hierarchy were the five archdivine-ordainers. The sealmaster had charge of the hallow king's seal, kept in an oak box, and was responsible for breaking the seal with a silver hammer on the death of the hallow king.
