The more notable people are likely the ones doing the wooing and alliance forming with other kingdoms. The actions of the movers and shakers (PCs and staff run NPCs) tend to be what causes the most effect on the world, they are the ones that will change the world and/or break the Curse.  Even those who are just trying to go through life not being noticed. Sometimes they make a friend or enemy of someone that was not a part of a previous life and as a result something changes.

The everyday life of the masses, as in the unnamed NPCs, are filled with work, socializing, attending temple, assisting the more notable people (as in the PCs or named NPCs), and other such things. Sometimes these unnamed PCs could have information or act as a vessel for the Gods. Beyond that, the unnamed masses don’t do many things of note, they just live their lives and have events happen that are big to them alone, when it is not done by the ‘feature characters’ (PCs or named NPCs) it typically keeps to their little circle. They do, of course, judge, doubt, believe in, are amused by, and form opinions that might not always align with the players think is ‘right’ or ‘wrong. They may not always favor the PCs. Staff will make an emit should the opinion of the nameless NPCs need to be seriously considered or if the majority is directly against the actions being taken.

PCs/named NPCs are the ones who do the big notable things like form alliances, find ruins, do tasks for the Gods, etc. No matter how ‘low key’ a PC or named NPC are they are the movers and shakers of Atharia and have some sort of knowledge about them floating about. Whether it is intentional or not the PCs are the cause and effect of big changes that happen on Atharia.
