The Peerage of Caldia comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of Caldia.
The ranks of the Caldish peerage are, in descending order, Duke (Dug), Count (Mormaer), and Viscount (Lumaer). All lines descended through both the male and female lines and have since their creation. Unlike many Euclean peerages, dozens of the titles were created for females by female monarchs. The system of tanistry is also extended to the nobility, traditionally allowing vassals to approve the tanist (heir designate). However, this has became uncommon as feudalism began to phase out and most typically the eldest child inherits.
Until it's abolition in 1814, all Peers of Caldia could participate as a member of the déisi, the body that chose the monarch's tanist.
