In Atharia no gender is considered lesser than any other gender, they are all equal. Though some kingdoms have a patriarchal or matriarchal heir system, the opposing gender is not treated as incapable or anything. It is merely the preference of the ruler and tradition. Any gender being treated as lesser beings by another will typically be defended by people. It is a crime for a person of any gender to be treated as less than because they are X gender. It is unlikely any mercy will be given.<p>
Gender roles and ‘places’ are not really a factor in Atharia. Sure, some kingdoms might have a patriarchy or a matriarchy, but it is not because another gender is ‘lesser’ but because that is what tradition and the ruler dictates. To treat a gender as a lesser than is considered a crime in Atharia and an appropriate punishment will be handed out to the ones who do it.
While there is nobility and commoners it is not necessarily inequality to why they are such, though, nobles do gain more favor. Nobles remember their past lives, completely. Commoners remember bits and pieces, at best. That is what separates nobles and commoners. The royals are treated as so because their line is what formed each kingdom, they, of course, also remember their past lives. While among nobles and commoners there can be those who are 'classist', it is not the norm. Sure, to be classist is frowned upon but, really, the majority of the time no one cares if someone is or not. Though, unless given specific permission from the person, one would not, for example, address a noble by just their name so in that aspect, the people are classist though it could be viewed as a sign of respect than classist.<p>

There are things about Atharia that has people behaving superior, as everyone has their own personality, in all their hearts of hearts the people of Atharia know everyone is equal. Sure, a person from Santua can consider themselves better than someone from Choisi but it doesn't necessarily mean they are.<p>
Nobles are considered more ‘important’ than commoners but that is only because at some point the family the noble came from was appointed or earned their position as nobility. Commoners might be a ‘lower class,’ but this does not necessarily mean working as nobles can do any job commoners can. What this means is that commoners handle tasks and duties that allow nobility to handle the bigger scale matters such as alliances across kingdoms or planning wars. Commoners can do those too but it, typically falls onto nobles to take a hefty load of the workings of the world and commoners help to ease those loads.
This isn't to say the kingdoms aren't bias against each other, they very much are in some aspects. After all, they do not agree on the methods being taken to accomplish breaking the Curse. It would not be abnormal for a person of the Santua Kingdom to make fuss at someone from the Luminat Kingdom. A person of a different kingdom than a character's own being viewed as an enemy or rival would not be surprising. Nor is being friends with one but it could be viewed as a little questionable.
<p>
Nobles, royals, and commoners can absolutely have classist moments, but it is not the norm but the exception. Everyone has their own viewpoints and some of those just might be that commoners think nobles are ‘elitest jerks’ or that nobles think commoners ‘there to serve them.’ Other viewpoints can be that both consider themselves equal. Regardless, all people are address appropriately for their position in life (see [[Game news: Forms of Address|forms of address]]). Kingdoms can absolutely be bias against each other. Luminat and Santua are basically opposites of each other so it would not be unheard of them to think they are superior to each other or something.

Gender roles and ‘places’ are not really a factor in Atharia. Sure, some kingdoms might have a patriarchy or a matriarchy, but it is not because another gender is ‘lesser’ but because that is what tradition and the ruler dictates. To treat a gender as a lesser than is considered a crime in Atharia and an appropriate punishment will be handed out to the ones who do it.

Nobles are considered more ‘important’ than commoners but that is only because at some point the family the noble came from was appointed or earned their position as nobility. Commoners might be a ‘lower class,’ but this does not necessarily mean working as nobles can do any job commoners can. What this means is that commoners handle tasks and duties that allow nobility to handle the bigger scale matters such as alliances across kingdoms or planning wars. Commoners can do those too but it, typically falls onto nobles to take a hefty load of the workings of the world and commoners help to ease those loads.

Nobles, royals, and commoners can absolutely have classist moments, but it is not the norm but the exception. Everyone has their own viewpoints and some of those just might be that commoners think nobles are ‘elitest jerks’ or that nobles think commoners ‘there to serve them.’ Other viewpoints can be that both consider themselves equal. Regardless, all people are address appropriately for their position in life (see forms of address). Kingdoms can absolutely be bias against each other. Luminat and Santua are basically opposites of each other so it would not be unheard of them to think they are superior to each other or something.

As stated previously everyone has their viewpoints but it not necessarily anything to do with being a ‘lesser human being’ or something, as in general all genders and people can be loosely considered equal.
