Editing Nobility

'''Nobility''' in [[Innworld]] is a matter of having the right [[Classes]]. 

== Overview ==
[Nobles] ([Noblewomen] and [Noblemen]) are usually not called by that generic term but by their actual classes (which correspond to their title).

This article deals with the "lower" nobility - for higher classes like [Queens] see [[Royalty]]. According to royal knowledge, there is a substantial difference in the power level between "mere" nobles and royals: [Princesses] or [Princes] get more powerful levels than mere [Lords], and a level 30 [King] would equal a level 60 [Major] (which is not a noble class at all).<ref name="7.16L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ Chapter 7.16 L]</ref>

Nobility may apparently be gained by:
* Inheritance (being the child of another noble - these probably gain the class either at birth or during their childhood depending on lifestyle and education. Exact details still unknown.)
* Nobilitation (being elevated into nobility by another (higher ranking) noble - exact details still unknown.)
* Self-proclamation (so far only observed in case of [[Laken Godart]] - this is probably only possible in lands that are not under someone else's rule or government. Exact details still unknown.)

Legitimate nobles have some sway over the classes of other people and may appoint special classes to worthy individuals that are better than the base class. Classes like [Steward] or [Royal Guardian] may be the result. This is, like nobilitation, an act of will of the legitimate [Noble] themselves, and usually done only sparingly and with great delibaration.

== Ranking ==
There are various ranks in Nobility, and the system varies between the continents. [Nobles] may fulfill different roles which can be distinguished for example like following: Some are more or less permanent retainers to a higher-positioned liege (so called "court nobility"). Others are governing in their own feudal estates (so called "landed nobility") or are in some cases [Rulers] in their own right and may not even answer to a feudal lord.

=== Terandrian System ===
In [[Terandria]], there is a not-yet disclosed ranking system, or possibly even several of them. ''If'' that system follows Earth's (European) nobility orders, then the ranks go up from [Baron], [Viscount], [Earl]<!--/[Count]-->, [Marquis] towards the [Duke] (the latter was confirmed to be the highest male noble rank below a [King]<ref name="ITTQ">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/09/interlude-the-titans-question/ Interlude: The Titan's Question]</ref>). [Baroness], [Viscountess], [Countess], [Marchioness] and [Duchess] are their female counterparts.

[[Humans]] of Terandrian nobility base their lineages on the ''purity'' of their descent, which they call ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichor ichorial] descendancy''. This is different from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineal_descendant lineal] descendancy'' (the child of the current ruler has first claim to rule): instead, the ''most pure'' scion of any house gets to make that claim.<ref name="ITTQ" /> This concept of purity may also reflect in the ranking of nobles, and guide unconventional decisions, like a [Princess] from a vaunted royal bloodline eloping a mere [Baron]<ref name="7.18M">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/15/7-18-m/ Chapter 7.18 M]</ref>, although that case may also be based on political power or another ranking system than that of Earth.

The role of [Lords] within the Terandrian system is not clear yet, seeing how [Lord] [[Belchaus Meron|Belchaus]] apparently governs a powerful state (by himself?). However, the heirs of a family's title are simply called [Lord] and [Lady].<ref name="ITTQ" /> Also unclear is whether [Knighthood] comes with a noble title ([Knights] are adressed as "Ser", "Sir" or "Lady"<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/30/interlude-talia/ Interlude - Talia]</ref>), or if these two concepts are distinct.

=== Izril System ===
The [[Five Families]] and the lesser nobility of '''Northern Izril''' decided to get away from royalty (be it [Kings], [Emperors] or [Tyrants]) and rely on the [Lord] as the only class to designate [Rulers].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/24/7-24/ Chapter 7.24]</ref> This desire to form a polycentric aristocracic network instead serving under absolute monarchs in their respective nations, has been expressed several times as a principal difference that makes Izril different from Terandria.

:''It is unclear what the actual, original dispute was that caused the Five Families to break away: it may have been motivated by the class system (better class benefits for [Ladies] when not subjected to [Queens]), it may have been a politically motivated power struggle of [Lords] against the overreach of [Kings], or simply being tired of wars. Given that the breakaway happened millenia ago, the Five Families might also have been rebels agains [[Half-Elves|Half-Elven]] Kings.''

As it stands, Northern [[Izril]] is ruled simply by [Lords] and [Ladies] who are rather ranked by their achievements, family lines and position within the family. This more egalitarian system even allows 'commoners' like for example [Merchant Lords] to emerge and amass power, although they are certainly not considered equal to the older, more distinguished [Lords] and [Ladies].

Depending on the rules of each family, the holdings of each family may be split up between inheritors equally, but most observed noble families in Izril ultimately answer to a Matriarch or Patriarch who holds the power over all estates of their noble house and may designate their successor freely from within the family - this is the case in three of the [[Five Families]] at least. All members of a family are called Lady or Lord, although some in fact are [Lordlings] until they come into inheritance.<ref name="7.18M" />

The '''[[Drakes]] of Southern Izril''' have their own system of nobility which varies wildly in their different polities. The most traditional Drakes system is that of a neptocracy of "Wall Lords" and "Wall Ladies" who govern their polity together, like in [[Salazsar]]. Other Drake polities have shifted to a meritocratic system of appointed "Wall Lords/Ladies" ([[Manus]]), and still others have overthrown their traditional nobility and installed a democratic government system - however, the [[Pallass]]ian Wall Lords are still wealthy through their inheritance which they did not give up.

=== Other continents ===
The [[Blighted Kingdom]]'s current aproach seems to be based on individual merit: The [[Blighted King]] has appointed Named Adventurers and other worthy individuals, like [Marchioness] [[Xersia]] (of court nobility) and [Lord] [[Hayvon Operland|Hayvon]] (of landed nobility), the latter having inherited his rank from his father. The lower nobility is called the Burnished Court.

[[Chandrar]] has various disparate systems. In [[Germina]], there is the [Highborn] class, which is essentially the local nobility below the ruling [Quarass] (the ruling monarch). In [[Jecrass]], the local nobility below the [King] are the "River Wardens", which is the title of the nobility while their actual class is not yet revealed. [[Reim]] has apparently not a single [Noble], but accepts the subjugated [Lords]. [[Nerrhavia]] has a caste system headed by a [Monarch] with Emirs and Emiras under them though that may be an indicator of wealth and influence rather than governorship. The ruling Slave Lords of [[Roshal]] govern together with no monarch above them similarly to Salazsar. The Empires of [[Tiqr]] and [[Empire of Sands|Sands]] had no apparent court of nobles and may be absolutistic regimes.

In [[Baleros]], there is little information on nobility or royalty, and they likely wield little power compared to the Mercenary Companies. Even less is known of [[Drathians|Drath]] and [[House of Minos|Minos]].

== Classes ==
Some classes are rather generic while others are highly specialized. Some observations are as follows:

=== Ladies and Lords ===
The class of [Ladies] conveys a mystical component that shows similarities to that of [Witches], but is apparently connected to their property, like their estates or lands. Whether a [Lady] has to study to become proficient in that mystical knowledge, or if that knowledge is granted by the base [Lady] class or requires some further specialization, is still unclear. To become a proper [Lady] that takes full advantage of the "feminine" component of the class, one needs to be educated by [Tutors] and ideally another [Lady]. With that knowledge, special [[Skills]] may be attained, like [Deft Hand] that has so far only been observed with [Ladies]. Less proper [Ladies] may still become proficient in governance or warfare.

There are so far no indications of a corresponding "masculine" skillset among [Lords], but as [Rulers], they have a similar connection towards their holdings like [Ladies] do.
