This skill makes a player one of the Noble Class in game. They do not start with a title beyond that of Lord or Lady. They are not the Prince, Baron, Duke, Count or such. They are descended from one of their race’s noble households and as such have certain in game benefits and responsibilities.

Nobles are held to High Law rather than Common Law like everyone else. This sometimes works in one’s favor and sometimes not.

Nobles may have a Retinue that travels with them and must wear the household’s livery. Nobles can openly carry arms even during times of prohibition or in places commoners are forbidden to.

Note: Nobles must always wear the best armor, or clothing as befitting their station in life. This means that a player who does not meet the standards of costuming set forth by the Game cannot play a person of official Noble Birth.

Lastly, as a member of a Noble Family the character receives a stipend from his or her family. This is to maintain the proper image of nobility and derives from any family land holdings or businesses. This stipend is based on title and is as follows.

Lord/Lady: 10 Crowns

Earl: 20 Crowns

Baron: 40 Crowns

Count: 80 Crowns

Duke: 160 Crowns

Note: Staff will have a list of noble houses a player may choose from based on his/her race at time of character creation. These are the official noble houses of the game, and as such a player’s Character must be descendant from one of these to be able to purchase this skill.
