There’s a way to handle nobility with tiers and hold, and provide a way to track the Coin and favors they can access on short notice, and their general lifestyles. Plus, a great subsystem for a favor bank.

This is really cool. You could use the status symbols as a means of refilling as well. Develop a new network. Buy those heirlooms from Mr’s Hornswith who is going broke, you’ll just be storing them for her until she can buy them back. Try and marry into a family with more prestige than yours.
Timothy Stanbrough Glad you like it. Yes, a major driver for the noble concept here is that it triggers lots of networking with other nobles, which drives adventure. =)
