(for that matter, does your race even hold to the idea of nobility?)  What are your rights and responsibilities, both by law (theory) and custom (reality)?In the past I've had adventuring parties containing two crown princes (one Human, one Elf, and in the same party!), a reigning Elvish monarch (and later her consort, another PC who she married during the campaign), a consort to a Human monarch (after the played party put said monarch on the throne via adventures C4 and C5)*, etc.  I've also had various characters pick up titles at random - it seems every time a Deck of Many Things comes up somebody draws the bloody castle!  And I've had characters knighted for in-game actions.The one common denominator is that any of these by its very existence generates more or less extra work for the DM, so be warned.* - truly awful modules; at least I and all the players thought so at the time.    Lan-"we have your castle, where would you like it?"-efan</blockquote>
