The 'class system' of Atharia was not formed by birthright but by who was given the ability to remember their past lives. So, it was decided by the people that those who recall their past would be considered nobility. This is to reflect that they might hold the key to breaking The Curse put upon the people of Atharia.<p>
The ‘classes’ of Atharia are a combination of birthright and connection. Initially back before the Kingdoms were formed certain nobles were chosen as nobility, either by the people, the Emperor Aldrich or one of the past Rulers of the kingdoms. As time went on and nobility was properly established it became about birthrights and bloodlines. This caused who could become noble to be restricted. All the nobility chosen are people who have shown the Rulers they are 'worthy' of being noble or had so much support from the people it only made sense.<p>
Commoners can not be elevated to nobility. This is not a law but the way it is. Commoners accept this fact as they understand they remember their past lives minimally at best. Nobles are those who recall their past, the commoners are those who do not.<p>
The ‘commoners’ are those considered 'everyday people'. This does not necessarily mean 'working class' but more that they are the people who did not earn the title of nobility via whatever means a noble earns. Typically, the common class is made up of servants, crafters, soldiers, mercenaries, and so on. They can not, typically be elevated to nobility even if one of their parents is noble. When a noble and Commoner have children together, they decide before birth whether the child will be noble or common.<p>
There is ONE exception for a commoner to be elevated to nobility and that is if they are a Child of Gods. The Child must be awoken for the option to be considered. As many people have a way to tell when someone is a Child of Gods, it takes a lot of work to try and deceive people into believing they are a Child of Gods. So, they have to be able to prove they are a Child of Gods to become one. A noble who is a Child of Gods also has the possibility to becoming royalty because of their blood as a Child of Gods. Royalty can just decree someone is their child from a noble family (or common) but it is more likely to cause discourse in their kingdom. Children of Gods are not a common thing and would be considered one of the highest of honors for a family to have one. To just take a child would be considered offensive. With the possible exception of Santua, it is unlikely any of the kingdoms would just take a Child of God without working out compensation.
A Child of Gods can be adopted into any family of nobility, should they choose too. So, it is likely that someone who is a Child of Gods will be chased by even the Kings and Queens of Atharia. Children of Gods are considered a big boon for the noble family that gets to claim them. So, it is not unheard of for nobles to offer something of value to claim a Child of Gods into their family. They are even likely to claim them away from other noble families. The items of value could be monetary, land, possible becoming their heir to the noble title, a title for their former family members, anything that might be presented as something the Child of Gods considers to be important. This is the only way a commoner can be elevated to nobility.

The ‘classes’ of Atharia are a combination of birthright and connection. Initially back before the Kingdoms were formed certain nobles were chosen as nobility, either by the people, the Emperor Aldrich or one of the past Rulers of the kingdoms. As time went on and nobility was properly established it became about birthrights and bloodlines. This caused who could become noble to be restricted. All the nobility chosen are people who have shown the Rulers they are 'worthy' of being noble or had so much support from the people it only made sense.

The ‘commoners’ are those considered 'everyday people'. This does not necessarily mean 'working class' but more that they are the people who did not earn the title of nobility via whatever means a noble earns. Typically, the common class is made up of servants, crafters, soldiers, mercenaries, and so on. They can not, typically be elevated to nobility even if one of their parents is noble. When a noble and Commoner have children together, they decide before birth whether the child will be noble or common.

A Child of Gods can be adopted into any family of nobility, should they choose too. So, it is likely that someone who is a Child of Gods will be chased by even the Kings and Queens of Atharia. Children of Gods are considered a big boon for the noble family that gets to claim them. So, it is not unheard of for nobles to offer something of value to claim a Child of Gods into their family. They are even likely to claim them away from other noble families. The items of value could be monetary, land, possible becoming their heir to the noble title, a title for their former family members, anything that might be presented as something the Child of Gods considers to be important. This is the only way a commoner can be elevated to nobility.
