I have a question about dwarves and nobility. Are there dwarven nobles in FR’s strongholds? Are there any on human cities? Is there a difference on how they act in regards to humans? Like all social groups, dwarf clans have hierarchies. Some have titled nobility, others don't use titles. All dwarves trained to lead are taught to see "long view" consequences in race relations, but individual dwarves act based on their own characters, not nobility.#Realmslore

In case of the Delzoun, do they use titles (would it be dukes, barons knights…?). Although they are not expansionist would Bruenor or other Kings assign a noble to care for an outpost/land or raise a character social status to do so? Or neither, it’s solely based on ability? It's based on ability/merit, these days. It has to be. The dwarves came so close to extinction (and know it) that they can't afford bad results. Some Delzoun use "Lord" and "Lady" as honorifics for clan elders, but not titles (aside from military ranks).#Realmslore

Thank you lord Ed! A pleasure! Happy to help.
There are quite a few dwarven clans who have barons and baronesses (hold lords) addressed as "Lord" and "Lady" (and so are their children and/or designated heirs, though they don't use formal titles).#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 23, 2019
