|
| |
| 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.
