Nobles are dwarves that have special duties in addition to or instead of the duties of normal dwarves. Some nobles also have various privileges that normal dwarves do not, and will demand certain accommodations, like a better office.

Settings specific to each noble can be set on the Nobles & Administrators Screen, accessible via the n key.

Appointments

These are nobles you can appoint through the Nobles & Administrators Screen.

  • Expedition leader: Listens to the complaints of other dwarves to make them happier. Uses social skills. Is the noble who meets with outpost liaisons. It does not seem possible to reassign this post – at least while the original holder of the title remains alive. Your initial expedition leader is chosen based on managerial skills. You will find that your broker is often 'volunteered' for this job by the other dwarves.
    Note that if there is no obvious candidate for Expedition Leader, it is chosen randomly. Additionally, if your Expedition Leader is slain and you do not choose a new one, a random dwarf will be volunteered for the job after about half a season.
    • Mayor: Promoted from expedition leader at 50 dwarves. Unlike the expedition leader, he requires decent housing and will make mandates. Is replaced every couple of years.
  • Bookkeeper: Utilizes the record keeper skill. Lets you see the stocks of your fortress. Needs to do occasional jobs in an office of their own if you want precise stock keeping: otherwise, stock numbers will only be precise to one significant figure (e.g., 7163 -> 7000, 7823 -> 8000).

There is substantial overlap between the expedition leader and the outpost broker's skills, so you may wish to assign them as the same person if you have time for one dwarf to both meet with traders and meet with the outpost liaison.

Immigrant Nobles

These nobles appear in immigration waves and cannot be appointed by the player.
