When a fortress meets certain requirements, the [[liaison]] will offer to make it a barony. The player will then have the option to promote a [[dwarf]] of his or her choice to the rank of '''baron''', which will take effect when the liaison leaves the map. 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.

When your fortress meets the requirements the [[liaison]] will approach you about becoming a barony. You will then have the option to promote a [[dwarf]] of your choice to the rank of '''baron''', which will occur when the liaison leaves the map. This offer can be rejected, for example to avoid having more annoying nobles, but this results in the player being unable to request imports from their parent civilization. Dwarven caravans will still arrive, but the player loses the option to influence their contents.
  
It is possible (and probably preferable) to select a dwarf who has no item [[preference]]s to be the baron. This will prevent [[mandate]]s, though it may be a good idea to supply additional happy [[thought]]s to replace those that would have been experienced from having mandates met. Additionally, material preferences influence [[demand]]s; though not as annoying as mandates, it is a good idea to make sure your fortress has access to any preferred materials. Unfortunately, preferences are not viewable from the promotion screen, so it is necessary to find the best dwarf for the job in advance of the liaison's offer.

Since the baron is promoted from within, rather than immigrating, s/he will not automatically be accompanied by a baron(ess) consort.  However, if you chose to promote a [[marriage|married]] dwarf, then the spouse will become the 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). Also, the promotion of the baron will '''not''' usher in the [[economy]] as it did in older versions.

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 0.34.xx versions (so far) and might be be fixed in future releases.

If your baron dies or goes insane, you will not be able to appoint another baron and consequently get other nobles which are upgraded from baron, including [[count]] and [[duke]].{{verify}}
 
 
If a baron dies, goes insane, or has an [[unfortunate accident]], players will not be able to appoint another baron and consequently cannot get other nobles which are upgraded from baron, i.e. [[count]] and [[duke]].

If a player meets the above requirements and still can't promote anyone, this may be due to a glitch, which affects some games, requiring that the trade caravan depart before meeting with the liaison in order to get the barony option. Try keeping your mayor and liaison separate until after the caravan has left the map.
