  • Bold text: Used to show who holds the primary landed title of their House. There is only ever one such person at a time. If there is a family tree for the Lords of <wherever>, then the person holding the title 'Lord of <wherever>' will be bolded. Sometimes families will gain greater titles, or lose ancestral ones, in which case the discretion of the family tree creator is usually used. If a family's primary title used to be that of a king, but it was lost and replaced with a lord, then that new lord title would be the bolded one. Note that there are situations where common sense/the discretion of the family tree maker would need to be applied. See Arana Family Tree for examples of losing/regaining/transferring primary titles.
  • Italic text: Used for kings in a family tree that are not of the House the family tree is about. E.g., if a King of House X marries a Queen of House Y from another kingdom, the Queen's name would be italicised. This is also done if a Lady of House Z marries a King of House N; the King's name would be italicised.
  • Regnal dates (e.g., 1E 123–456): These are shown under the names of any/every monarch, and are always bolded and never italicised. If someone is a monarch of two places simultaneously, they will have two regnal dates. The two dates should be placed in the order that the regnal numbers appear in their name.
  • Regnal numbers (e.g., I, II, III, etc.): These are shown for any/every monarch, and is italicised or bolded whenever appropriate (see above rules on bolding and italicising).If someone is a monarch of two places simultaneously, they will have two regnal numbers; the number corresponding to the larger kingdom will be placed first (regnal number for the Ayleid Empire would go before the regnal number for Abagarlas).
  • Appearance of surnames: Surnames are shown ONLY for people not of the House the family tree is about. Bastards surnames (of the House the family tree is about) are shown/not shown on the tree according to if they bear one at all. See Bastardy for more information on bastard surnames.
  • Dotted lines: Used only to show non-marital relations and the product/s of such relations, i.e., bastards.
