Noble ranks / Cultivation

In the vast cosmos power and nobility were intricately intertwined, creating a hierarchical structure that reached from the humble tier 0 mortals to the cosmic rulers of tier 9 kings.

At the foundational tier 0, mortals were the commoners, their lives woven into the fabric of the mundane. Above them, apprentices emerged into half-nobility, overseeing specific areas like the mine managers. These individuals, while not fully noble, held a unique position in managing crucial aspects of society.

A tier 1 existence, whether a magus, knight, or following a different power, could ascend to nobility by pursuing the title of a baronett. This elevated them to the position of overseeing land and villages within a country, initiating their journey into the realm of noble governance.

Advancing through the tiers, a tier 2 baron ruled over a town and several villages, their influence extending beyond mere localities. Tier 3 introduced the viscount, tasked with the governance of a city and its intricate workings.

As one climbed further, a tier 4 count held sway over an entire country, making decisions that resonated across vast territories. A tier 5 marquis expanded their reach to rule over entire continents, navigating the challenges that came with such extensive governance.

The cosmic scale unfolded with tier 6 marquis, rulers of planets who shaped the destinies of entire worlds. Beyond this, tier 7 dukes ascended to govern solar systems, orchestrating the cosmic dance of celestial bodies.

The celestial hierarchy continued with tier 8 arch dukes, overseeing Galactic quadrants and commanding the cosmic expanse. At the zenith of this cosmic hierarchy, tier 9 kings ruled over entire galaxies, their dominion stretching across the astronomical distances of the cosmos.
