Introduction

The Fae are very fond of long titles, which include endeavor, rank, and descriptive elements.

Description

Royal Ranks

Emperor
High Queen/King
Queen/King
Princess/Prince

Notes: There has only ever been one Emperor. There are significantly more High Queens than High Kings. There are very, very few Fae royalty even within the small scope of relatively few Fae in existence. They are extremely rare. High Queens/Kings are even rarer than Queens/Kings by a massive factor.

Noble Ranks

Duke
Baron
Marquis
Lord

Military Ranks

General
Colonel
Captain
Second
Sargeant
Soldier/Knight

Examples of descriptive elements

"Lord of all Shapes"
"Lost & then found"
"Of the Court of Oz"
"Sidhe Fire Warrior"

Examples of endeavor

"Slayer of Shadow Dragons"
"Killer of Clowns"
"Healer of Kings"

A full title

Full Fae titles may look something like this:

General Gregory, Lord of the Underpath, Keeper of the Feline Claw, Fighter of Bears.
Duke Hathway, General of the Empire, Seeker of Truth, Sidhe Fire Warrior.
King Henry, Oath Breaker, Trickster of the Iron Flake.
Colonel Jarad, The Wiseman of Prote.
Fritz, Finder of Lost Things.

Some Fae titles go on for entire paragraphs (they are sometimes read alloud but Fae can also sense much of the meaning on one another before this is required. The pageant dictates a more nuanced social ranking which Fae tend to respect).
