Organisations

—Smallfolk: peasantry and commoners of Valyndra, effectively anyone who is not part of a noble house. Smallfolk is both the easiest and most difficult community to win over, Whoever gives more wealth is their side.

—Maesters: The Order of Maesters are an order of intellectuals (scholars, healers, and other learned men) in the Valyndra. Almost every castle and noble family in Valyndra, no matter how small, has a maester on hand to teach the lord's children, give him counsel, and attend to medical and educational needs.

—Small council: The Small Council is a governing body which advises the king of the five kingdoms, institutes policy at his command. It is the inner council of the king, essentially forming the "government cabinet" of the five kingdoms. Members are appointed to their position by the King; theoretically they can be dismissed at will by the king, however in practice this might lead to undesirable political fallout.

—Kingsguard: The Kingsguard or Queensguard, in cases of a ruling female monarch, is an elite group of seven knights, supposedly the greatest and most skilled warriors in all of Valyndra, who serve as the royal bodyguard of the King/Queen. Their duty is to protect the king/queen and the royal family from harm at all times. The Kingsguard swear the most holy of vows to fulfill their sacred duty, and - in theory - are meant to be the living exemplars of the pinnacle of knightly virtues. members of the Kingsguard are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking wives, or fathering children.

—Handmaiden: A handmaiden, also known as a lady-in-waiting, is a woman in the service of a noblewoman of higher status.

Culture

—The various noble houses of the Five kingdoms use distinctive heraldry to identify families and individuals. They may consist of a simple pattern of colors, but more often feature animals and/or physical objects.

—bedding ceremony, in which after the wedding feast is over, the bride and groom are physically carried off to the marriage bed, to ensure that the union is consummated. The men at the wedding carry off the bride, and the women carry off the groom. The group carrying each strips the clothing off the newlyweds while telling ribald jokes.

—Paramours: Social customs are somewhat different in Myrrh, which has more liberal attitudes towards sexuality. Myrrh’s society still allows nobles to keep "paramours" - formal mistresses/unmarried lovers who can be male or female. Outsiders from the other kingdoms often dismissively think of Myrrh’s paramours as little more than mistresses or prostitutes, but they often have significant social standing in Myrrh. Some are even functionally treated as wives in all but name.

—Bastard children of a noble, who have been acknowledged by their noble parent, are allowed to take a special bastard surname which signifies their status. These bastard surnames are based on the region a child was born in. Bastards are not allowed to inherit their parents' lands and have no place in the line of succession (unless they are legitimized by special order of the king and allowed take their parents' surname, which rarely happens, one of the examples is {{user}})
