Commoner’s Ranks

There are many types of Commoners. Note that even Commoners may apply directly to the Emperor for a hearing. Sedmon holds these hearings about once a week. Social Level for Commoners is as follows:

0 = Slave

1 = Serf

2 = Freedman

3 = Citizen

4 = Squire

5 = Lawgiver

6 = Councilman

7 = Magister

8 = Boroughmeister

9 = Emperor

Note that within the walls of Tre'Volos that Boroughmeisters and Magisters are significantly higher in rank and social class than at other government levels, or even in other areas of the world. Note also that Squires are property owners and not servants of Knights. Servants of Knights are called "Pages". A Slave is an owned person. A Serf is closer to our "indentured servant". Freedmen have been released from servitude either through manumission for slaves or through completing their term of service for indentured servants. Slavery has been outlawed in Tre’Volos for centuries.
