The Baron Belledin is an extinct Shirerithian title of nobility created for Heath Belledin in 1663 upon his emigration from Shireroth during the Safir Exodus.
Kaiser Ayreon IV wrote in Imperial Decree 1067: We bestow upon Heath Jared Belledin, formerly the Viscount Belledin, the title, degree and dignity of Baron Belledin, of the city of Belledin in the Imperial Dominion of Oleslääd. Upon his death or removal from the title, it shall pass to his legitimate issue, with preference to the eldest and their descendants over the younger and their descendants, until the line is extinguished.
As a title of baronial degree, the holder was in a unique status of being regarded to be a noble of Shireroth but not a citizen of Shireroth. All other nobles are citizens of Shireroth, and all citizens of Shireroth are nobles of Shireroth. As such, the title was an expression of the Kaiser's gratitude to Heath Belledin's services to the Imperial Republic, allowing him to have noble privilege while visiting Shireroth, yet remain a non-citizen according to his own conscience.
Upon Belledin's death, the title became extinct.
