Classes

A Class is one's role in society, both their profession and status. It is such an integral part of people's identity that, in business settings, someone like a blacksmith is likely to be referred to as simply that—"blacksmith". Those familiar with the person being discussed may use their Class as a title, referring to their Hunter acquaintance named Alfred as "Hunter Alfred".
It is possible that Classes are a convention of Pioris's society, rather than a widespread Arcturian one.
== Classes ==
=== Hunters ===
Members of the Hunter's Guild hold Hunter Class. They take on a variety of Quests from Employers from a variety of places, the details of which will depend upon which Sect they fall under. These individuals may be of the various ranks of the guild.
=== Military ===
Military Class is held by members of the Pioris Military. They are responsible for warfare and law enforcement. Similarly to Hunters, they may hold a variety of ranks within the structure of their organisation.
=== Monks ===
The Monk Class is held by the Monks of the Monastery of the Heralds. They are teachers of Magic, scientists, healers and historians who have dedicated their lives to their craft. They may fall into different parts of the Monastery's hierarchy and its different professions.
=== Civilians ===
The Civilian Class is a collection of various civilian professions held by the vast majority of people. Notable Civilian Classes are listed below.
*Innkeeper, important for being the owners of Inns where Quests are set up and many people go to rest; if an Innkeeper is threatened, both the Hunters and Military will be alerted
*Bartender, runs the bar of an Inn and is a source of information for all the local goings on
*Blacksmith, experts in weapon creation with a strong understanding of how they work in tandem with Lucius Linkers
*Conductor, operators of trains and Caelus Bridges, two vitally important modes of convenient transportation
*Banker, managers of individual's Slabs and Coins who keep it safely secured
*Mechanic, maintainers of machinery
*Merchant, also called Buyers, they buy and sell all sorts of general goods, often strike deals with Treasure Hunters
*Chef, highly devoted cooks looking to create their next perfect meal—while they may get their resources from a Merchant, they may also hire a Wildlife Hunter to get it for them (or go on their own, in spite of the dangers the wilds pose)
*Alchemist, practitioners of Alchemy and potion manufacturers, they can also make many other resources—Tormentus was an alchemist
==== Aristocrats ====
Aristocrats are upper class Civilians, sometimes given the title of Lord or Lady. They are the richest people on Arctus, as a result of being of high status and financing businesses from which they subsequently profit. Some may have close ties to the Royalty, and some may misuse their power.
=== Royalty ===
The Royal Family that are in charge of Pioris. Below is the royal hierarchy in ascending order.
*Baron/Baroness, hereditary title and only just above the Aristocrats
*Count/Countess, the rulers of towns
*Duke/Duchess, the rulers of regions of Pioris
*Prince/Princess, the monarch's children
*King/Queen, the ruler of Pioris; currently, Pioris is ruled by a Queen
=== Classless ===
Classless people are those without any status. They may simply be homeless and destitute, or criminals like Bandits or Pirates. While criminals are given those aforementioned titles, they are not recognised as Classes due to their opposition to law and order. It can be hard to function as a classless individual in a society of classes.
== Notes ==
Instead of Classes, the original Globelore had professions. These professions were only mentioned in a wiki article on the old Globelore wiki and were barely alluded to in-game. In Globelore II, professions are planned to be far less understated.
