Social Classes
There are three social classes in Aris: low, middle, high.
Low Class
The low class consists of slaves. These slaves have no rights and are prisoners of war. They can not own land, earn money, and vote. They have no say with what goes on and are strictly property. They can be sold and traded for money or other slaves. You are either born into this class or captured from a foreign land to be in this class.
Middle Class
The middle class is reserved for what are called 'Travelers.' These men were not native born but travel from other city-states to live in Aris. These men did not have full rights, but are able to find work in any area they choose. These men can not vote and do not have say in government. Also these men are able to be a part of the government in any way.
High Class
The high class is reserved for male citizens. These men are born in Aris and have full citizen ship rights. They are able to vote, own land, and own slaves. These men lived a comfortable life were work was easily found and money and food were plentiful. Men in this class were required to serve in the military,
Women
For the most part, no women were a part of the social classes in Aris. That is because it was rare for women to make money. To explain, a woman would finish their schooling and then find a husband and marry them around the age of 17. After that they would have kids and raise them. Once the kids were off on their own, a woman's job would be to simply cook food and tend to the house. One of the only ways a women could really make money is by knitting and selling their works or possibly being an independent artist. Although making money as a woman was rare, they had full rights and privileges outside of that as far as voting and attending government hearing.
