#2: Initial revision
[Style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_(manner_of_address)) is a manner of address, an honorific that comes with a noble title. For example, HM Elizabeth II is addressed "Your Majesty". In a fantasy setting that does not pretend to be Europe, I have chosen noble titles that are not "King", "Duke", "Earl", etc., but "Shah", "Vaspahr", "Sardar", etc. Now I'm trying to understand, **is it right for a Vaspahr to be addressed "Most Noble" and "Your Grace", or are those reserved to a _British_ duke?** Would those forms of address sound out of place when used with a non-European title, or are they standard?
