Randall on Lords
There are two kinds of Lords. There are Lords who do a lot of work and get specific recognition for it. And there are Lords who will never get any kind of greater title, never do any work you can actually give an order to, and whine and hang out long enough that they get made Lords just so they will shut up.
I guess there are also Lords that come from being in lands smaller than kingdom level, so maybe there are three kinds.
When I see a Lord, I can guess that I am either meeting an up-and-comer (if they haven't been in too long and work hard and have a great attitude) or I am meeting someone who will never get knighted and got the consolation prize (all others).
Edit to note - I'm not judging a person by saying, "Oh, you only made it to Lord, you suck." I'm just saying that in my experience (which is in a kingdom seat), Lord iss a discretionary title rather than one given for holding any office and it seemed like it was sometimes used as a consolation prize in the 90s - an outlet for people who needed recognition but who would be a stain upon knighthood.
