| + | |||
| + | There are several factors at work: | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. The republic is a land ruled by law and the laws of succession are very clear. Legitamate offspring of a noble lord (and illegitame offspiring as well) have a clearly defined set of rights. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2. The morality of the order is not completely pervasive amongst republic culture, there is a significant minority of Golanists, Elementalists, and Spirit worshipers in the rural areas, as well as significant. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Half elf nobles are certainly looked down upon, by some of the population. | ||
