the term “edgelord” implies the existence of an entire hierarchical structure of edgenobility. there ought to be like, edgedukes and edgeviscounts running around. edgesquires. edgecomtessas.  

Edgemarquis

Hah!

Historically, the distinction between a count and a marquis is that a marquis’ domain lies at the border of the kingdom, and is thus more likely to be attacked by hostile forces. This position of elevated trust is why a marquis traditionally outranks a count.

Now, the domain of a marquis is called a “march”, derived from the Old French marche (”border, boundary”), and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European mereg, which translates as… “edge”.

A marquis, then, is a literal edge-lord; i.e., lord of an “edge”, or border domain.

We must therefore conclude that an edgemarquis is twice as edgy as other edgelords.

good lord. 

Fuck

I cannot fucking believe this
