THE PRINCELY STUDIES

 

---

 

As the days fly one by one, my wisdom and knowledge progresses briskly. Subsequently I find it appropriate to present those to my family and tutors, to prove my success and ableness. For knowledge is bliss and ignorance is lack of interest. All of the renowned men and women of old were intelligent, some through rigorous studying while others through their naturally-given sharp minds, but the combination of both birthed the geniuses whose names bear the buildings of our temples, palaces, taverns and other buildings. In conclusion, never stray from learning…

 

ON NOBILITY

The class which rules over the human lands hold different statuses and ranks throughout the different realms, but they share one in common and that is their ambition of power. Nowadays such houses are less frequently born due to the lack of instability, thus the majority of the noble houses are either ancient or old. It takes one man, perhaps followed by another or two to diligently serve for their ennoblement. The noble stations are awarded by Godan and the same people are entrusted for caring about the commoners. For any lord is nothing without his followers. The duty of the leaders is a hard one, many do not understand that it’s an obligation rather than blessing of their lives.

 

ON TITLES

There are many titles ranging from the humble Knights to the grandiose Emperors, each comes with responsibilities and life which will be with many limitations and lack of joy.

ON HOUSES OF SAVOY

The nobles of the southern continent are recent settlers and re-settlers, as many of them resided in the human states prior to the resurrection of Sutica and later it’s continuation as Savoy. Due to the new climate and situation, their customs and cultures are still adapting and are being influenced by marriages and other factors at any moment.
