Editing Nobility (section)

== 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.
