Dumar (prince)

Dumar is a term of address and title primarily used in certain fantasy literature, role-playing games, and occasionally derivative creative works to denote a male member of a royal family, typically a prince. Its usage is often associated with fictional cultures that draw inspiration from historical Eastern European, Russian, or vaguely "northern" settings.

The title suggests a rank lower than a king ("Tsar" or similar) but higher than a noble or military leader without royal lineage. The specific social standing and power associated with the title "Dumar" are entirely dependent on the context of the specific fictional world in which it is used. There is no universally recognized definition or historical equivalent outside of fictional contexts.

The etymology of the term is often left unspecified by authors using it, contributing to its exotic and fictional feel. While it may be inspired by real-world titles, no direct historical equivalent exists. The term is primarily understood through its common usage within fantasy and gaming circles. Its usage is comparatively rare compared to more standard terms like "prince" or "Duke."
