What are the conventions for affixing a " d' " and a " ir' " to the beginning of your last name? I was under the impression that " d' " was for being of a family in a dragonmarked house (i.e. d'Vown or d'Kundarak), and that " ir' " was for being a member of the ruling nobility of the Five Kingdoms (i.e. ir'Wynarn). Thanks in advance for your help.

So for instance, Elaydren from the Forgotten Forge is Lady Elaydren d'Cannith to outsiders, or Lady Elaydren Vown d'Cannith to fellow House members.
