Notes[]
The title of High Kinlord bears a resemblance to the title of Kinlord, despite the former being a political title and the latter being a title indicating familial hierarchy within a noble House. It is possible that King Aerel I did not understand the specifics of Altmeri peerage when creating the High Kinlord title, or he was aware of what Kinlords were and intended for "High Kinlord" to be symbolic, indicating that the holder of the title is the metaphorical father/mother of a whole region — that those under their care were to be protected as a parent would do for their children.
