==Overview==
The exact place Barons occupy in a House's hierarchy vary from House to House and world to world; if a [[Knight World]] hosts multiple Houses, then a Baron might rule each House.{{Fn|1a}} If, however, a single "Great House" dominates its entire world, then the Barons will typically form a caste in between inbetween the [[High Monarch|House's Monarch]] and the Knights ordinary, the latter of whom serve as vassals to their Barons.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
Assuming that a Baron does not rule their House entire, they might hold dominion over a particular region or place of interest on their House's world. Alternatively they might hold a specific title or position within their House, possibly in their Monarch's [[Exalted Court]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
