Nobility

Nobility is a state of being both having to do with one's station or there personality traits.

Background
What is nobility? In Daventry there are two definitions. The first refers to one stations in life; lords, ladies, dukes and earls. The nobles and royalty in the world. Those who are given nobility from birth. One may be born into nobility without being born into a king's station.

Some may change stations. Graham for example rose to a higher station when King Edward made him the heir to the throne of Daventry. Before then, though born the son of the nobleman Hereward (a knight of the realm), he was a 'nobody', not born into the king's station, and whose heritage does not go back very far into Daventry's history. His background was that of a minor noble. Valanice in constrast was born to royalty only on one side. Her father was Prince Cedric of Kolyma and her mother was a peasant; Coignice, a miller's daughter. She grew up being raised as a princess of her realm. Rosella on the other hand can claim to be royalty both sides. She was both born and raised royalty on both sides (her father a king by status and her mother by royal by birth).

Another form of nobility is that of the heart. The tanner Connor was merely a peasant. Althougn not born of noble stock (, nor was he raised in the royal court) his resolve was strong, and his challenge clear. His heart was still noble and good. His gallant nature allowed him to percevere where others would have failed, allowing him to become a great warrior and hero.
