TestNobility

Aristocracy, when in context to the Regalian Empire, refers to the upper-class citizens of its society, including wealthy families known as "new money", titled nobility known as "old money", knights, and other associated government-titled individuals. This Page will set out a variety of both OOC conduct rules, as well as IC mechanics through which there is a class-divide in Roleplay in Regalia, which we believe helps reinforce the historical-like setting in a fantasy world. This page also contains other useful referrals for things to do with Aristocracy, so it should generally be sourced as first to-go place for information.

Classes of Aristocracy

Aristocracy is broken up into several groups defining their place in society and what is expected of them to pass in the upper echelons.

• Nobility covers land-owning aristocrats who hold feudal titles and directly control various territories throughout the empire. They are considered "old money" in that their wealth has accumulated over several generations of their family, and also because nobility is one of the oldest classes in the empire. Nobles derive most of their income from their lands in the form of taxation, investing most of the revenue back into the lands due to the costs of ruling these territories. As a result, nobles often have less funds to spend on personal projects compared to the magnates, relying instead on their political connections and influence in various courts to see their plans enacted.
• Magnates cover wealthy aristocrats who have accumulated their wealth in recent times through business success and investments.
