Social Ranks

Medieval society is a ladder called the Great Chain. Everyone is born to a rank — but the bold can climb it through trade, the sword, the Church, or the knife.

You rise in rank by earning standing (social points) from work, deeds and office.

Rank	Standing required
Serf	0
Peasant	15
Freeman	40
Craftsman	80
Burgher	140
Gentry	220
Noble	340
Lord	500

Each rank unlocks new careers, businesses, offices and marriages. Reaching Lord opens the endgame: holding court, ruling lands, and waging war.
