## The Noble Houses' Heir/Non-Heir Titles

The following titles apply to all levels of the nobility from Bann up to Rexarl, as Banet is not considered to be nobility. Firstborn sons/heirs can use their parents' second-best title as a courtesy title, though only Visarls and higher have a title lower than their primary title. When the heir uses their parents' second-best title as a courtesy, they drop the 'the' in front of it to denote that they are not the actual holder of the title.

Usage: Title First Name Surname, Courtesy Title (ex. Serah First Name Surname, Courtesy Title)

* Serah = Firstborn son/heir
* Sereyna = Firstborn son/heir's wife
* Serah-Consort = Firstborn son/heir's husband
* Ser/Seryna = All younger non-heir sons and daughters
* Ser-Consort = Husband of younger non-heir sons.
	+ Daughters do not share their nobility with their husbands, so if a daughter marries a commoner, they don't receive a nobility style/title from the marriage.

### Styles

The children of the nobility and their spouses receive a style based upon their father's rank, as follows:

* The Uttermost Ancient and Most Noble Houses = The Utmost Honorable First Name Surname
* The Most Ancient and Noble Houses = The Most Honorable First Name Surname
