When your fortress meets the requirements the Template:L 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 some time later.

Since the baron is being promoted from within, s/he will not be an immigrant, and thus no baron consort will accompany her/him. However, if you chose to promote a married dwarf, then his/her partner will become their consort, and will be considered an unlisted noble (doesn't appear in the noble menu, but is listed as a noble in the units menu). Also, the arrival/promotion of the baron will not necessarily usher in the Template:L.

Some have met the requirements and not received the option to promote a dwarf to a baron, this is a bug.^Bug:519

This bug can be avoided by putting off the meeting with the liaison (e.g. by keeping the mayor busy or locking him up in a room) until the last member of the trade caravan has left. Apparently you have to delay the start of the meeting ("Greeting from the mountainhomes..." screen) because only that moment makes a difference. Template:L to active patrol duty ASAP after the arrival of the liaison is the most reliable way. source

Requirements
