* '''Bȃn:''' The equivalent of a Baron. They rule over a Banat, the equivalent of a Barony, and usually owe obligation to a Pârcălab, though some few owe fealty to a Voievod and a rising number of Vrăjitors (the Queen’s wizards) are being made Bȃn who owe fealty directly to her. Generally, a Bȃn is the lowest noble that has a territory beyond his own estate, village or town and can claim hereditary rulership over their Banat.
* '''Cintorín:''' Cemetary
* '''Domn:''' The equivalent of a Lord. These are the least of the nobles and generally do not hold territory beyond their own estate, village or town. Often, these are second or third sons of a Bȃn who rules a territory and their own holdings may not be hereditary.
* '''Erőd:''' Fort (usually as part of a place name)
* '''Hram:''' Temple; this is usually an administrative center for a particular Church with a Bishop or Metropolitan in residence.
* '''Kolostor:''' Monastery; this is usually a rural structure intended for isolated contemplation of the deity’s goals. Kolostors are usually smaller in population and usually subordinate to a nearby Opátstva (Abbey).
* '''Kovárna:''' Smithy
* '''Menšie:''' Smaller/Lesser (used in place names)
* '''Nemocnice:''' Hospital; almost always a monastic religious establishment intended to help heal the sick or provide comfort to the dying.
* '''Opátstva:''' Abbey; these are monasteries that have authority over other monasteries, typically with an Opát (Abbot) as its community leader.
* '''Pârcălab:''' The equivalent of a Count. They rule over a Comitat, equivalent to a County, and usually owe obligation to a Voievod, though there are a few that owe fealty directly to the Queen, but are not considered important enough to qualify as a Voievod.
* '''Pevnost:''' Fortress (usually used in place names)
* '''Pokladna:''' Treasury; often a religious repository for the Temple of Minos
* '''Starý:''' Old (used in place names)
* '''Svätyne:''' Shrine; a small religious place, usually significant to a particularly holy event, which worshipers or pilgrims may pause at to pray. They are sometimes manned and maintained by an individual priest or a handful of priests, but some have no direct caretakers.
* '''Torony:''' Tower (usually used in place names)
* '''Tvrz:''' Stronghold (used in place names)
* '''Vár:''' Castle; used in place names; larger than a Věž
* '''Věž:''' Keep; used in place names; smaller than a Vár
* '''Voievod:''' The equivalent of a Duke or Earl. They rule over a Vojvodina, equivalent to a Duchy or Shire, and owe obligation directly to the monarch. There are ten Voievods in Dracia and serve as the Queen’s advisory council.
* '''Völgy:''' Vale or Valley, usually used in place names
* '''Vrăjitor:''' Unofficial title used in reference to the Queen’s wizards; literal translation is ‘Charmer’
