"If a Warlord is deposed during their lifetime, they and their lineage lose their status of nobility. Warlords make retire after the age of fifty to secure their noble status; if they do not, they still risk losing it should they be deposed. Dragonlords, however, maintain their nobility even if deposed due to their draconic blessing."
i don't like this since it encourages passiveness in a culture where dying in battle for your country is praised and venerated. maybe a warlord / dragonlord is not truly noble unless they live an accomplished life? serving theria for x number of years, accomplishing great feats, etc etc. some kind of 'veteran' status that consolidates their claim after they've been a proactive force in theria in the long-term
"Whilst rare, a Dragon may declare a noble family unworthy of their rank if they do not appropriately honour their ennobled ancestor by earning fame and glory themselves."
dragons do not care about human titles (but the part on garljing blessed being nobility is good)
... also instead of firelord/firelady, let's stick with lord and lady
