Nobles understand wealth, power, and privilege. They carry a title, own land, collect taxes, and wield significant political influence. They might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort, a former merchant just elevated to the nobility, or a disinherited scoundrel with a disproportionate sense of entitlement. Or they could be an honest, hard-working landowner who cares deeply about the people who live and work on their land, keenly aware of their responsibility to them.
