Servant

The lifeblood of Theligosian society, most non-noble people are some form of servant.
Servants are bound to a specific noble family or organisation (such as the Order of Binders), and are expected to serve to the best of their ability.
In return, nobility are charged with the protection of their bound servants, and the promotion of their wellbeing.
Servants have very little actual legal recourse in the case of cruelty on the part of their masters. However, Theligosian society is one that takes duty seriously - Generally speaking, noble families that take their duty to their people seriously will make life very difficult for those that do not.
