The hereditary peerage of Talossa have a long history. Drawing on contemporary notions of nobility, as well as contemporary notions of the nobility of yore, extraordinary acts in the service of the country have long been recognized by the Crown with peerages: barons, contas, and dücs have all been established in the past. Such hereditary grants of honour are extremely rare, and are awarded for achievements of legend. They serve as marks of distinction, even though they come with neither pecuniary reward or temporal power.

The College of Arms maintains Burk's Peerage, an official record of the peerage of Talossa.
