Nobles are the wealthy folk born into privilege and money, but who are not necessarily knowledgeable or skilled. Often these people are easily separated from their coin through subterfuge, but not through force since they are often surrounded by a cadre of servants and guards whose job it is to protect them. They function as the middle-men between rulers and the peasants.

Noblemen balance an interesting combination of activities and responsibilities in their daily lives. They perform necessary managerial tasks on their lands and with the peasants in their employ, collect and raise funding for military expeditions and social events, practice horseback riding, hunting, and hawking, and meet any additional obligations set upon them by their own masters.

Noblewomen live lives dedicated largely to the management and cultivation of social opportunities and status. They are found in large homes with luxurious comforts, but had help, most notably ladies-in-waiting, who perform the more menial tasks of household management.

Nobles, like everyone else, have limited access to education, books, or cultural opportunities, meaning women with little housework or manual labor to perform had few options for pursuing engaging leisure hobbies. Instead, they spend a great deal of time planning events, keeping up-to-date on the happenings of other local families, and ensuring the family was held in high regard throughout the community.

Oftentimes, these families get odd priorities which make them capricious and vengeful. Those that want to hire adventurers for profit are among the good ones. However, those who just want to use their wealth and power to make the lives of adventurers miserable are really terrible. They are nothing but the worst of the worst.
