Romans

Long ago, “in ancient times,” the noble Roman Empire conquered and civilized this land. It ruled all of Britain―indeed, all the world. Due to decadence and selfishness, the whole Empire collapsed except for one part―Britain, thanks to the ancestors of the present-day Roman Britons. These are the Old Families of the “ancient aristocracy.” The urban Britons revere their Roman heritage, especially their legal system that has maintained the “peaceful imperial times.”

Culture

Shared customary codes and values

Upper-class snobs, rich folk who take their status as “given.” Most are condescending because they know they deserve their place, though the equities hold up their privilege by actually doing the noble and dangerous task of defending the land

Common Etiquette rules

One ought to maintain a sensible distance and exhibit impersonal treatment toward everyone common, but among well-educated Romans there exists also a noblesse oblige to oversee and protect the “lesser folk” simply because it is “good for the state.”
