Chapter 81 - Old friends, new problems

The social ladder, the hierarchy in the kingdom was stringent. While the Royalty and the Nobility were closely tied, there was a wider gap between them and the rest of the citizenry. But even then, the average class citizens, the working force, was still respected somewhat. 

Below them were what they liked to refer to as "The Scum." The poor, the downtrodden, the unlucky. This layer that resided at the bottom of the social ladder was the group of people that nobody wanted to interact with.

In every city, just like in the capital, or in Higrove, there was a district that the everyday citizen usually avoided. They referred to this district as The Slums. An ugly mocking word that looked down on everyone that was forced to live there.
