nobility

The highest social class in pre-modern societies and even in a few contemporary societies, and the status and title of a noble are usually inherited; basically another term for aristocrats, a tiny group of elite people who are omnipotent over the common people.

Nobles are born into wealth and power and often into politics, regardless of their merit to these privileges; peerage is the legal system to constitute the various hereditary titles.
From highest to lowest rank, the most common peerage titles are:
-duke and duchess
-marquis and marquise
-earl/count and countess
-viscount and viscountess
-baron and baroness

Under a feudal system, the nobility earned property from the monarch through military service.

The peasants resented the nobility for their frivolity, but at least these farmers had little to lose; the courts of the elite were swarming with ruthless intrigue, often with plots of overthrowing the royal family. Noblewomen were married off young, had little real power, and just served to manage households and produce many children (who were raised by nannies) to continue the family dynasty, never free to live or choose as they wanted.

Nobility had/have everything to lose: wealth, reputation, position, allies, public support, political influence, and life. A very public life with numerous people breathing down one's neck and threats on one's person did not help matters, either.

Nobility of Morals

Founded on monday december 20th 2004, by the knights: Aaron and Pentescu. It is dedicated to upholding the morals that they judge right and proper.

You are a being of awsome power, on a walk in the woods you encounter two swords in a river. Both swords belong to a hated foe. You have four options, keep one sword, both swords, leave them, or return them. As a being of moral integrity, what do you do?

As a noble of morals you destroy both, ensuring no immoral use may come of them.

upward nobility

Rising in social status by virtue of one's grace and generosity of spirit, inherent qualities having nothing to do with money, fame or possession.

With the re-ordering of social values resulting from the epidemic and the market crash, he increasingly found himself invited to the best parties, asked to speak in a spectrum of venues, and was quietly made aware of his upward nobility.
