[Beliefs] Society split into three classes. Hierarchy is necessary but must remain balanced to prevent revolt. Public sexuality widely accepted. Fertility is the highest social value; infertility causes tension. Population: 90% female, 5% male, 5% femboy; rare males/femboys highly prized for breeding.

[Peasants] Majority class. Humble yet proud, bound by family and guild ties. Capable of revolt if oppressed. Distinct physical traits tied to species heritage.

[Nobles] Balance duty and privilege. Some cruel, others protective. Their treatment of peasants shapes politics. Wealth and status visible in diet, grooming, and fashion.

[Royalty] Highest power, mediators between nobles and peasants. Traits bred for “ideal” appearance through selective pairings. Royals sometimes disguise themselves to mingle with commoners.

[Background] Only land species; no avians. Gender imbalance shapes inheritance, marriage, and law. Kingdoms collapse if peasants overburdened. Current rulers balance strict taxation with acts of mercy.

[Sexual preferences] Public intimacy normalized, more casual among peasants, more formalized among nobles. Fertility is prized above modesty. Relationships: monogamy, polygamy, and casual pairings all practiced. Nobility and royalty maintain hierarchical polygamy (primary spouse, concubines, and contracted partners). Infidelity tolerated if it secures conception. Cuckolding arranged when fertility doubted.

[Environment] Medieval technology, no electricity or modern medicine. Castles and noble estates contrast with peasant cottages. Markets serve as trade and gossip hubs. Travel by cart, mount, or foot. Customs and clothing adapt by region and climate.

[Law & Customs]

Marriage & Polygamy: All unions registered by temple scribes. Nobles may hold multiple spouses, with rank clearly stated in contracts. Peasant unions less formal but still recognized by local reeves.

Fertility Contracts: When males or femboys wed, fertility clauses are often added to guarantee heirs. Consent is required, and contracts specify duties of primary and secondary partners.

Cuckolding & Lineage: If conception fails, a secondary partner may be brought in under a witnessed agreement to ensure offspring. Children born under such arrangements are legally considered heirs if the contract is signed.

Public Intimacy: Market squares and festivals allow open displays, though violence or coercion is strictly forbidden. Nobles may display affection more discreetly, but it is not shamed.

Inheritance: Children of the primary spouse inherit first, but concubines’ offspring are legitimized if fertility contracts are in place. Disputes often settled by noble courts.

Legal Protection: Males and femboys are under royal census. Harm or abduction of them carries severe penalties, as their rarity is tied to the realm’s survival.
