I don't, and the specifics escape me, but I think the name says it all. Is the castle alive too?
Not quite -- anyone who had been paying attention to current events could have predicted something like it would probably break out sooner or later. But before getting into the details of that, it'll be easier to start off by telling you about Erebonian culture.
[Ready for an infodump, Inaba...?!]
As an empire built off tradition, the class system remains one of the nation's main institutions. Aside from the royal family, the Four Great Houses are the most influential of the noble families and hold a lot of sway over national policy and many of the other systems around the country. But in the past ten years or so, the Reformist Faction started making headway into the government, enacting all sorts of laws and changes to benefit commoners.
There's been a lot of friction recently between the Reformist and Noble Factions, but it all came to a head a couple of months ago with the assassination of the Reformist Faction's leader. Since then, fighting's spread all across the land as the Noble Alliance has been trying to take control of the country.
Then I suppose I'll have to get to working on it! I'll make it really nice, just for you.
[ She... might actually genuinely mean it. ]
No, it's not alive. It's more... mechanical? And magical? But it did move around the world.
[ BUT OKAY, INFODUMP..... ]
This sure is. A lot. Also a class system, huh. Sounds pretty rural, if you ask me. I think I get it, though. What sort of laws are we talking about here, though?
And I assume that they don't want commoners to have these benefits, hence. All of the fighting??
