The Dispossessed: Difference between revisions

'''The Dispossessed''' is a term which refers to a large number of former nobles and Royals who presently reside in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], and especially the [[Urceopolis_(City)#Ardriville|borough of Ardriville]], following losing their ancestral possessions and homelands. The vast majority of these nobles come from the [[Deric States]] and lost their ancestral principalities during the [[Second Great War]], but some come from other [[Levantia|Levantine]] countries, including the former royal family of [[Carna]]. The Dispossessed are noted for living lives of extravagance within [[Urceopolis_(City)#Ardriville|Ardriville]], maintaining a sense of insular {{wp|High society (social class)|high society}} among their own number and hosting lavish balls while also sponsoring works of art. The homes of the Dispossessed are a popular tourist landmark within [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] but most can only be seen from afar. The Dispossessed typically do not associate with individuals beyond their own number or existing nobility, and many seek to secure spouses from noble families abroad in order to prevent inbreeding, which is prohibited under the laws of [[Urcea]] within the fourth degree of {{wp|consanguinity}}. According to scholars, [[House de Weluta]] has had an internal policy since the 1970s to not directly associate with the Dispossessed nor take part within their social space.
