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 promotion of the baron will not usher in the Template:L as it did in older versions. The baron may still mandate that coins be minted though.

The elected baron(ess) may still perform usefull labour from his/her normal life as a miner, for example.

Some have met the requirements and not received the option to promote a dwarf to a baron, this is a bug.^Bug:519 Seems to be solved in 0.31.17.^[Verify]

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 the map. 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
