Orlesian royalty and nobility

The Orlesian Empire is probably best known for two things—being the birthplace of the Chantry and for its extravagant royalty and nobility. Orlais has a large aristocracy famed for its excess, in particular the fashionable use of cosmetics and complicated clothing, from colorful shoes to elaborate masks.
== The Grand Game ==
Among the Orlesian nobility, status and appearance are set above all things. Orlesian culture is renowned for its infighting, with every family engaging in what is known as the Grand Game whose object is to one-up rival nobles.
== Ennoblement ==
Outside of Orlais, it is believed that the lower classes find nobility and the Game contemptible. In truth, most Orlesians aspire to become its participants – even Briala's parents were players of the Game,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, pp. 66 and 236 even though they were only servants, and elven ones at that. Some say that Orlais is a kind of meritocracy, and it is true that anyone could conceivably join the ranks of nobility if they become wealthy enough. For example, a lucky merchant with a powerful patron could gain a title through the Council of Heralds. However, it is exceptionally rare and for most commoners ennoblement remains an unattainable goal.
== Titles ==
Emperor Drakon, the founder of the Empire, abolished all noble titles with the exception of Lord, Lady and Emperor, fearing that the Grand Game would tear the nation apart. It did not end the Game as Drakon had intended and only made it worse. The nobles began to find other ways to state their superiority and even collect unofficial titles, such as "the exalted patron of Tassus Klay" or "uncle to the champion of Tremmes".Codex entry: The Orlesian Empire With this failure the official titles would later be restored.Interview with David Gaider
Titles other than Lord and Lady were abolished again in 8:29 Blessed by Emperor Reville. He decreed that no noble of Orlais was the equal of the Imperial family and thus all would only carry the title of Lord or Lady in his presence. This resulted again in the use of unofficial titles among the nobles. Outside of the Imperial court, the use of both, the traditional titles and the ornate, unofficial ones, continued as a social matter. Reville also bestowed new titles to certain nobles during this period.Dragon Age (tabletop RPG), Core Rulebook, p. 173
When Reville died in 8:51 Blessed, many among the gentry hoped their titles would be restored. Many nobles with pre-existing, traditional titles claimed the new Lords and Ladies only deserved their new title, which naturally placed them lowest in the hierarchy of the Game. This nearly sparked civil war within the empire. It took the assassination of Emperor Etienne IICodex entry: Council of Heralds to decree that courtly titles would be maintained—with tacit recognition of “unofficial” titles being handled through the use of the Council of Heralds.
Titles are granted by the Orlesian Council of Heralds.

== Notes ==
* Although Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1 says the title of prince/princess is reserved for direct relatives of the current ruler, including siblings and children, and grand duke/grand duchess is conferred upon former princes and princesses who are no longer directly related to the present ruler, the distinction in practice appears slightly different:
** Gratien Valmont, Leontine Valmont,Leontine's Steward and Florian Valmont were all referred by the title of grand duke/grand duchess during their elder brothers’ reigns. 
** While Florian’s younger siblings, Reynaud and Melisande, are most commonly referred to as prince and princess,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, pp. 66 they are also referred to as grand duke and grand duchess.Codex entry: Emperor Florian
** GaspardCullen says Gaspard was a prince before Celene took the throne at the war table when starting the quest Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. and CeleneLady Mantillon calls Celene princess in Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 361 both previously held the title of prince and princess as nephew and niece to Emperor Florian. 
** Florian's only daughter, Evangeline, is named as princess, despite the fact that she died before her father became emperor, and thus when he still used the title of grand duke.
*** This suggests that children of grand dukes/grand duchesses are also given the title of prince/princess, and not only the children of the current ruler, and that a prince/princess becomes grand duke/grand duchess when one of their generational princes or princesses (i.e. a sibling or first cousin) assumes the throne.
* Gaspard de Chalons retains his title of "Grand Duke" as one of his titles if he becomes Emperor of Orlais.Note: Dedication
