'NOBLE' 'NOBILITY'
As the champions of Valour seek out the evils of the land, wealthy
men and less able-bodied countryfolk stay behind the front lines and
help to protect the hometown itself. The nobles of Valour are those who
have sacrifice some of their savings to help fund the Knight efforts, and
are sworn to lend support (in the form of armor, and, only when necessary,
their sword arm) to the Knights during times of troubles. However it
must never be forgotten that most nobles are not trained fighters, nor
are they mentally prepared for the suffering of war. The Knights are
prioritized to put the lives of nobles above their own.
A consequence of Knights protecting nobles is that they may overlook
the danger of situations, and plunge carelessly to their death. For
this reason, the nobles are expressively forbidden from raiding any
cabals or entering their paths - including that of the Knights of Valour.
For anything else dangerous, being accompanied by a Knight to guard is
greatly encouraged.
Note: Although nobles receive the protection of Knights, this will be
waived in the event that a noble causes aggravation to others. It is not
the job of Knights to murder people who nobles have instigated problems
with themselves. This is neither Knightly nor is it noble.
There are two ways to become a noble:
1) "PAY" 100,000 gold to Aldacer in Valour (this money enters the Knight
cabal coffers, it isn't lost)
2) By aiding the Knights, such as with supplies and tracking, the leader
of the Knights may decide to bestow this honor on you for free.
Becoming a noble is permanent, unless the Executor decides to end the
relationship (at his or her discretion).
