The capital of Shirekeep, Shirekeep, counts several social classes. Those often have their own, unique ways to distinct themselves from the other classes. While the traditional feudal class society hasn't totally been abolished, it has made place for a newer model, based upon birthplace and origin, rather then money.


The upper class

The current upper class of Shirekeep is the one which came to the capital since the reign of Kaiser Gaelen IV. It's also reffered to as the Apolonnian Class, because most them are from origin Kildarian (mostly Audentes).

Most nobles adapted the way of living of the Apolonnians and even married to them. That way, the class quickly replaced the former nobility (those adapted the new culture or left the city).

They were typical Apollonian clothes, which remind to the Greek and Roman fashion.


The middle class

The lower class

The lower class mostly exists out of the so-called foreigners. While those have Shirerithian citizenship, the people look down upon them. Elws are traditional hated by the public, thanks to the several invasions in the far past (when Shireroth was a young state and Elwynn not yet incorporated into the empire). With the secession of Elwynn, this view returned and Elws often feel discriminated if they enter the more nationalist districts of the capital. Hyperboreans, however, have much respect.
