When a fortress meets certain requirements, the [[liaison]] will offer to make it a barony. The player will then have the option to choose a citizen to promote to the rank of '''baron''', which will take effect when the liaison leaves the map ("Do you have any dwarves to recommend for elevation?"). This offer can be temporarily rejected (by choosing the "we'd rather keep our distance" option or by canceling out of the selection screen after agreeing), deferring the choice until the liaison's next visit. Until the offer is accepted and a candidate nominated, the liaison(s) will not negotiate trade agreements. The promotion screen (see example below) displays only the names and titles of potential candidates, so it may be helpful to research potential candidates in advance of the liaison's offer when more information is available.

It is also possible for a citizen to inherit a baron(ess) title, even from another site, immediately giving that citizen noble status. This can potentially result in the fortress becoming overrun with baron(esse)s that will never leave for the sites that they are the rulers of.
 
−
 
 
−
If the appointed baron(ess) is [[marriage|married]], then the spouse will become the baron(ess) consort, and will be considered an unlisted noble (doesn't appear in the {{k|n}}oble menu, but is listed as a [[noble]] in the {{k|u}}nits menu).
 
−
 
 
−
Once appointed, the local baron(ess) can issue [[mandate]]s and [[demand]]s, and these will be strongly influenced by his or her personal [[preference]]s.  Of particular note, a baron(ess) with no item preferences will never issue any mandates (but may still make demands). If a non-mandater is appointed, it may be a good idea to supply additional happy [[thought]]s for him/her to replace those that would have been experienced from having mandates met.
 
−
 
 
−
The selected baron(ess) may still perform useful labour from his/her normal life (as a miner, for example). However, as the baron is supposed to be a [[Noble#Notes|lazy noble]], this seems to be an unintended, broken behaviour in all pre-0.47.xx versions (so far) and might be fixed in future releases.
 
−
 
 
−
If a baron dies, goes insane, or has an [[unfortunate accident]], players will not be able to appoint a new baron and consequently cannot get other nobles which are upgraded from baron, i.e. [[count]] and [[duke]]. However, in at least some situations, the fortress can still eventually become the seat of the [[monarch|monarchy]] of its civilization, in which case a baron (or count/duke) for the fortress at least sometimes arrives as part of the monarch's entourage.

Nobility status is entirely based on the number of off-site [[holding]]s, currently 1 (Baron), 4 (Count), 9 (Duke), (and 9+n*2 for modded higher ranks).  The land holder trigger numbers now influence the rate at which your civilization will send out settlers to found new sites near your fortress.  If your fortress is inaccessible or your civ's population is really low, they won't be able to do it.{{cite forum|171295/7807510}}
