Live this morning in Dragon #407 is "Crowns and Mantles: The Ranks and Titles of Cormyr." This article details the noble and military ranks of the kingdom, and talks about some of the other positions of responsibility one might earn in Cormyr.
It also contains a gorgeous illustration by Hector Ortiz of a Cormyrean knight at the moment of her investiture as a baroness of the realm, and (at long last!) Claudio Pozas brings us the rank insignia of the Purple Dragons.
The full article, at 9 pages, is available here.
Do enjoy!

I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy at Wizards.
They're uploading these articles at times when I can't immediately access them from work, once they gone active. 
Don't think I can wait until I get home.  |

They go live at midnight eastern (New York) time, unless there's an issue with the file loading.
You can make it, O Sage! |

I liked the rank structure. I mean what it actually looks like on the uniform!
Great article. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

This. Is. Gold. Possibly mithral...
I particularly love the illustrations of the rank insignia and the Chondathan titles of nobility. Hopefully I can find a way to download the last couple of articles; DDI has not made this easy for me as a new subscriber, as the only article links that work are those provided at the 'Keep (as I've noted elsewhere).  |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

| Just arrived perfectly in time for the final of my current adventure, where I want to give the player-characters a title and a castle's ruin in Cormyr :-) Many thanks, Wizards! |
