Consorts can appear as spouses to [[baron]]s, [[count]]s, [[duke]]s or [[monarch]]s. They do not perform any meaningful function (other than interacting with their spouses and producing [[children]]), and make no [[mandate]]s or [[demand]]s. Consorts are not guaranteed to exist in a fortress, as the noble may just happen to not be married, but any future marriages will lead to their spouses automatically being elevated into consorts. | Consorts can appear as spouses to [[baron]]s, [[count]]s, [[duke]]s or [[monarch]]s.

The naming of consorts can be confusing; for example, the ''king consort'' is always the husband of the monarch and the ''queen consort'' is similarly always the wife of the monarch. Interestingly, the plural form of consorts are not as obvious as they seem, i.e. "king consorts", but rather "kings consort". This is because the "consort" serves as an attributive adjective and not a nominal portion of the noun phrase. | The naming of consorts can be confusing; for example, the ''king consort'' is always the husband of the monarch and the ''queen consort'' is similarly always the wife of the monarch.

In [[fortress mode]], when an eligible noble is elevated to a governing position, their current spouse, as [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consort#Noun consort] to the holder of that position, is conferred a corresponding title. For example, if a married dwarf becomes a baron, that dwarf's spouse then becomes a ''baron consort'' (if male) or ''baroness consort'' (if female). Alternatively, consorts can accompany their spouses if they happen to [[Immigration|immigrate]] to your fortress, which may be the case when the monarch makes their arrival. This dwarf is always a [[historical figure]], and so can possibly be a [[night creature]]. Through a mountainhome's evolution, the consort can change or disappear many times. | In [[fortress mode]], when an eligible noble is elevated to a governing position, their current spouse, as [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consort#Noun consort] to the holder of that position, is conferred a corresponding title.
