This title is granted to those who rule a March, a border territory at risk of attack or occupation. Though no distinction is made between a Grand March and a Low March officially, there is an unwritten precedence given to a Grand Marquis. At present, the "Southern Marches" sit without appointed rulers. Limberry has officially been classed as a March for three centuries, and the title Duke of Limberry has been sealed to the now-ended line that once held it. To avoid provocation of Ordalia and to keep a civil discourse open, Limberry operates under the guidance of the Church and has had no Marquis since the time of Elmdor, a century ago. Marquisses are granted seats in the Senate. | This title is granted to those who rule a March, a border territory at risk of attack or occupation.
