Socio-occupational classes

"See also: Royalty and nobility"

Politicians
Any citizen in a position of government authority would technically be considered a politician; however, those possessing a nobility title in addition to holding office would not be counted in this socio-occupational class and would instead be organized by their noble ranking.

Awarded Artisans and Craftsmen
Awarded artisans and craftsmen are those who have received the Imperial Craftmanship Award. Those with the award are paid at a much higher rate than those without.

Specialties include but are not limited to the following: apothecaries, bakers, carpenters, cobblers, glassblowers, jewelers, masons, painters, potters, smiths, tailors, weavers, and woodcarvers.

To receive the necessary award, an artisan or craftsman must continuously produce high-quality fine goods that meet one or both of the following requirements:

1) The good is in high demand for 6 or more months.

2) The good is beneficial to one or more of the three kingdoms or even to the entire nation itself.

Unawarded Artisans and Craftsmen
Artisans and craftsmen yet to be awarded are not considered to be in a different socio-occupational class, but are paid significantly less than their awarded counterparts.

Business and shop owners who are not currently working towards the award also fall into this class (ie. a family-run bakery, an embroidery side-business, or an unpopular tailor shop).

Merchants
Merchants buy, sell, and trade goods and/or services crafted or sourced from other businesses or sellers. They may have a dedicated shop, or may travel to different locations to suit their customers' needs.

This is the lowest class that elves usually fall into.

Laborers and Mercenaries
This class contains but is not limited to: bricklayers, charioteers, millers, scribes, waiters.

This class also contains mercenaries, human service workers, Beastfolk artisans and craftsmen, and Beastfolk merchants.

This is the highest class that beastfolk usually fall into.

Service Workers
This class contains beastfolk maids and butlers.

It also contains part-time workers of any race.
