== Caste System ==
The casts system basically includes 3 noble castes, 2 lower castes, and an outside castes which consists of slaves.  Each castes has increasing political power and protection.

Castes are determined at birth, the castes of both parents and their parents are considered.  Each castes has a numeric value and the average value of the parents and grandparents castes is used to determine the caste of a child.  Because of this it is possible for families to change caste over time, and also why lower castes are avoided since it will affect the family for two generations to come.  

Once born into a class upward or downward mobility is sometimes possible, but it is the exception rather than the rule.  The most common type of mobility is down, in the case of criminal offenses against a higher caste.
