'''Nobles''' are <s>snotty, good-for-nothing parasites</s> dwarves appointed to office and rule over your fortress. They can make [[demand]]s and set [[mandate]]s which get in the way of the running of your fort, and get upset that other dwarves have nice rooms, but can also serve vital managerial roles. At least some of them.

*'''Appointed By''' - Which position appoints this person initially?  Note that the player actually controls all appointments via the noble screen; this is, in effect, only which dwarf is ''necessary'' before the player can make the appointment. Barons aren't directly appointed but elevated (presumably by the mountainhome) upon recommendation of the player. They cannot be replaced via the 'n'obles screen. Once a baron/countess/duke dies, no new noble can be created, either.

==Appointed noble selection==
 
Appointed nobles are chosen by the player. There are certain social skills that are relevant for each appointed noble's job, and not all dwarves will gain experience in a given skill. In fact, some dwarves will never gain experience in certain skills. This is determined by each dwarf's personal traits, and it is therefore important to select the dwarf with the appropriate set of traits for each position:
