The peerage system in Mesogeia refers to the legal system of hereditary and non-hereditary titles of Mesogeian nobility. As a whole members of the Mesogeian nobility are referred to as Peers. Their are six ranks in the Mesogeian peerage, King, Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord. The Empress of Mesogeia in the position of the fount of honour is the grantor of all peerages and titles. Being the fount of honour and legal grantor of all peerages the sovereign cannot be a member of the peerage, despite this fact the current Empress as inherited several titles that would be considered peerages if they were held by anyone other then the monarch.
History
The peerage system in Mesogeia traces its origins to the reign of Alexander IX in the 4th century BC when he awarded his trusted generals and closest companions the titles of King. Since then the peerage system in Mesogeia has evolved over thousands of years. It has its origins in the ancient kingdoms, principalities and states of ancient Mesogeia.
The Mesogeian peerage system is unique in the fact that its highest rank is that of King and not Duke. The rank of Duke is instead the second highest rank of Mesogeian nobility. Ever since the 4th century BC creation of the title of King of Macedon for Antigonus by Emperor Alexander IX, various titles have been added to the Mesogeian peerage system including Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord, the lowest member of the Mesogeian peerage system.
While the Mesogeian nobility largely adhere to the Mesogeian Oriental Orthodox faith there are a number of exceptions to the rule, most notably there are several Roman Catholic noble families, and there are even a few members of the Muslim faith in the Mesogeian nobility. For instance the King of Fars is the highest ranking Muslim in the nation.
