What is a Baron or Baroness?
Barons and Baronesses are officers of the Barony who are appointed by the Monarchs of the Middle Kingdom for a five-year term. As the Barons, Our responsibilities include:
- Representing the Monarchs to the Barony when royalty are not present. It is Our duty to swear fealty to the Monarchs, support Their goals, and uphold and enforce Kingdom laws within the Barony. We also carry information from the Monarchs to Cynnabar's populace and, in certain instances, present awards on behalf Their Royal Majesties.
- Representing the Barony to the Monarchs. As representatives of the Barony, We travel to events around the Kingdom. We give regular reports to Their Majesties on the state of the Barony and communicate Baronial concerns and opinions to Them. It is Our responsibility to recommend members of Our populace to receive awards from the Monarchs, and it is Our privilege to host Them when They are within Cynnabar's borders.
- Supporting and leading the Barony. We work with Baronial officers and others in the Barony to recruit new members and address the concerns of the current populace. We support and attend Baronial events, meetings, and practices. We encourage and recognize good works and helpful acts within Our borders, and We appoint Champions to represent and lead the populace.
- Fulfilling ceremonial duties appropriate to Our rank. As Barons, We bear the titles of Our rank and use the Baronial heraldry to identify Ourselves. Certain regalia, such as the ancestral Baronial coronets and thrones, are reserved for Our use. We have the privilege of establishing and presenting awards specific to Cynnabar.
