Thanks.

This probably involves tracking complex genealogies back to the days when the first King of Galifar was handing out land and noble titles to the guys who helped him conquer Khorvaire. There might also be noble families that have their starts as titles granted to famous heroes of the Last War.

Hrm, so a baron or lord could or could not have an ir', yes? Eberron seems alot more progressive than conventional medieval society. Then again, most D&D settings are.
