Due to the lack of any class of nobles in the present-day Inquisition, usage of these terms varies a lot depending on the historical and geographical context. In the Chlouvānem territories, historically there have been many different noble ranks with various designations, as each broad region had its own terms and conventions. The term ''ėmīlāmita'' (derived from ''ėmīla'' "tiger") is used for nobility in this historical context only. There is no broad term for "nobility" today (''pūgāsilāṇa'', "ensemble of kings", comes closest) and the terms are either those borrowed from Skyrdagor or - increasingly - the original designations are simply adapted and kept as such. | Due to the lack of any class of nobles in the present-day Inquisition, usage of these terms varies a lot depending on the historical and geographical context.
