social mobility is real. people don't do peasant roleplay because they'd rather do ballroom gossiping than farm roleplay (my P&P narrative arc is real). plus if you're cool people will give you things to do which probably aren't threshing weat, therefore you're no longer a peasant. I think we've struck a good balance currently where if people want to be nobles they almost always can be, and if people want to be peasants they always can be, rather than a situation where almost noone is a noble and having a title is massively gatekept. tldr people can do what they want and thats probably for the best

join the gunpill club and the proletariat (sanoist peasants) will rise after the great noble extinction

I invite you to live tax-free in the Hamlet of Enswerp. The floors are made of dirt, and the farm work is back breaking.

literally some of the most fun i’ve ever had on this server was running around Oren as a deaf street rat she pissed off the nobles and it was great Go run around and be a street rat, my loves

Get some like-minded people and make a humble farming community. Nothing will go wrong.

ROYAL LETTERS FOR THE VISCOUNTY OF KRUSEV KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Issued by the CROWN On this 9th day of Joma ag Umund of 531 E.S. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG ELDERVIK, THE HOUSE OF KORTREVICH IN THE PAST CENTURY HAS SUFFERED DIFFICULTIES AND TROUBLES. Under the reign of Aleksandr II, may he rest in peace, the House was stripped of its greater titles and given opportunity to restore their honours. Now, during our reign, the House of Kortrevich has shown itself admirably, endeavouring to right the failings of their predecessors; the family has loyally served their King, and acquitted themselves honourably. Mention ought, too, be made of the Late Ser Leonid d’Arkent-Kortrevich, who served the realm loyally as Lord Marshal of Our Realm, and as an honourable Knight of the Crow until his unfortunate demise. His service to his family and to Crown both have been duly noted, as has that of the promising heirs and household. By these virtues, the Crown does elevate and enfeoff the Viscounty of Krusev to the House of Kortrevich, and do elevate their Patriarch, Baron Erik Kortrevich, to be Viscount of Krusev. With such, the Crown vests its hopes in Kortrevich’s continued recovery, and that they shall do much good for the Realm with this title, and the rights afforded thereafter.

Laurih’Valmiran Heial (Noble/Chosen Artisans) ilMaehr’sae Ilkun’ehya With Knowledge and Steel Table of Contents Purpose Leadership Branches Purpose The Artisan’s Guild was established, its primary purpose is to aid in the growth of the nation, but equal to that purpose - its desire to assist Artisans with permission from the resigning royarch, Illthrak Ibarellan. As such its primary purpose is to aid in the growth of the nation, but equal to that purpose - is its desire to assist Artisans and Magi who serve the guild are there for not only themselves but the community for any sale made under the guild - its people.

^ This actually is pretty factual, though maybe its not the best comparison. I still remember when we made a mundane average joe farmer, into a dope undead Darkstalker Knight. @flexMate

i know this is a joke post but i actually think one of the reasons there aren't a lot of peasant characters is because in a lot of places being involved and active in the community will get you nicely promoted, so a lot of people who start out as average joes but hang around and participate a lot get offered stuff like leadership opportunities and upward social movement, leading to them not being average joe peasants anymore. or at the very least, this is what i've seen happen to a lot of characters where i play, as well as basically what happened to myself. imo this is a good thing! it leaves an unrealistic gap in the social ladder sure, but it helps people get broadened RP opportunities on the flip side

nones stopping you from playing a dumb peasant buddy

MILLIONS SHALL FARM.

I humbly invite you to come play a peasant in the heartlands

"Why do the cowards of Balian go running to the Pontiff for protection when those they insult and slight come knocking on their doors. They ought not run their mouths if they've not the strength to back it up. The Queen of Balian got herself involved when she accused Ser Rickard of murderering innocents in her palace, when in fact it was quite the opposite; the Queen herself robbed this man of an ancient relic." remarked Rhys var Ruthern to his family members over dinner.

1974. HIS HOLINESS CAIUS I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Sovereign of the Apostolic City, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree the following… In the name of the Almighty GOD, we, Caius I, High Pontiff of the Canonist Church, by the grace and authority of the Laurel of the Priesthood of Owyn, do now address the faithful and all those who dwell in the realms of man in earnest kinship. It is with a profound regret and heavy heart that we of the cloth now must observe the strife and discord between the branches of the House of Ruthern within the Kingdom of Balian and the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. This conflict, which we believe did spawn from petty squabbles and quarrels now has sown the seeds of division and discord among the tribe of Horen, and thusly is a matter of grave concern to the Holy Mother Church, for it threatens the peace and unity that men our vocation are divinely called to uphold among the faithful earnestly and with great commitment. As the shepherd of the Universal Church, it has become my sacred duty now to foster harmony and concord among the children of GOD. Therefore, under the auspices of our Lord, who is the Prince of Peace, we commit ourselves to the holy endeavor of mediating this budding conflict, with the earnest hope of restoring lasting peace within our tribe of Horen. In this holy endeavor, we have been approached by the monarchs of both the Kingdom of Balian and the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, who have sought our divine mediation and guidance. We accept this grave responsibility with humility and resolve, and we shall convene peace summits where representatives of both branches of House Ruthern, as well as the sovereigns of the respective kingdoms, shall gather under the banner of the Lorraine to seek reconciliation and accord. In these peace summits, we shall invoke the wisdom and justice of the Almighty, and we shall employ the Ecclesiastical authority vested in us to broker a resolution that is just and equitable. We thus hereby declare our unwavering commitment to monitoring this conflict closely, and to intervening in the name of peace and justice. Moreover, we now declare as the Mother Church our solemn pledge to ensure that this dispute does not escalate into a larger calamity that could engulf the kingdoms in turmoil and bloodshed. It is now incumbent upon all parties to approach these summits with hearts open to forgiveness and minds attuned to the divine will, that lasting peace may prevail and the bonds of brotherhood be renewed. We have received the grievances of the House of Ruthern of Hanseti-Ruska and their demands upon the Balianite Branch of their family, which are as follows; ✠ A formal apology to Lady Tatiyana and the House of Ruthern for the perceived slights. The Church supports this motion for an apology delivered from both sides onto one another. ✠ A payment of 500 minas for your grievances. The Church supports this motion for a payment delivered from the House Ruthern of Reutov to the Duchess Tatiyana. ✠ Forfeiting the title of ‘Head of Rutherns’ or any title that implies it. The Church supports this motion for both of the branches to come to a concord of confederation which will dissolve any claimed titles. ✠ The delivery of the Duke or his head for the House of Ruthern. The Church supports the Duke of Reutov abdicating and taking up a monastic life, and condemns any calls for his execution. ✠ An apology from the Queen Sybille for her dishonorable accusations# The Church condemns this demand for involving the Queen of Balian within their demands. ✠ The Balianites will forfeit the name of Ruthern entirely The Church unilaterally VETOES this motion. Under the auspices of the Law, no son may be punished for the sins of their fathers. Should a decree come to be published, that of which bastardises the Reutov line of House Ruthern, the Church shall release decrees of legitimisation to fix this wrongdoing and will take it as a challenge to Ecclesiastical authority.

'Dame' Sparrow nods: "Finally - auwn 'girls' night! It'll be a dorby place for some reserch for mea romance novels! ...Wonder if Dark-Elves ag Knights are 'in' still?" the tall as they are wide knight says, picking out the most 'modern' dress they find.

"Dak anyway - there ea was, Pork-sauce on mea pecs-.." Sir Sparrow says to a local farmer, "- when ea see mea name on a poster! They're infringing on mea trademark!" he complains as he lifts another hay-ball onto the cart. "Nienie, lift with vyr legs!" he instructs. "..Do vy think they need auwn musician? Ea have been working on a new 'mix' of wedding songs!"

The news landed in the hands of the sweet tooth scourge, the Elden beast enraged by the news.

"I love weddings." John of Aaun said. Happy to hear his former ward Catherine had found a match. Then thereafter turning to a courtier with a raised brow. "Who is Colonel Jaramy?"

Said mother, Calla von Theonus, smacked her son on the back of his head once he told her of his predicament. "Make up your mind and marry someone already! And not one that's already getting married! Now eat a cookie, dear."
