From what I could find, Dukes are generally closely related to the king and almost all the literature is related to an English system. I did look up Scandinavian Noble Hierarchy and got a lot of names without titles attached.
But he feels like a Duke to me and maybe that's what matters the most.
My story is set in a fictional world but has a 1800s feel to it. I'm just having a little bit of trouble with the hierarchy of the nobles. I also want it to follow a the system a Scandinavian country would have. If there is a difference.
I have a character that is a noble, has a large tract...
Yay to me for finding a way out the corner I had written myself into. It involved being brave enough to scrap a third of what I had written but the story is so much better as a result.
:happy:
I actually had a hard time reading the title. I think if I came across it I'd think that it was one of those intellectual books that's too 'smart' for me. And only because it took me three tries to figure out the title.
Hello Fantasy Scribes,
I've been perusing this forum and I have go say you all look like a friendly bunch. I've always been a bit more of a silent forum lurker but this time I've decided to jump right in.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you.
