Detailed in this chapter are Cla.s.s Tier, Tier Demographics, Named Guilds, and Glossary of Terms.
CLa.s.s TIER
There are 3 types of cla.s.s TIERS. There are Low-Tier, Standard Cla.s.ses, and High-Tier Cla.s.ses. Higher Tier cla.s.ses develop faster and more powerfully. A High-Tier Iron Rank won't necessarily lose against a standard Gold-Rank.
However, Lower Tier cla.s.ses progress ranks more easily. It is not uncommon for one 5-year war veteran to be an Iron-Rank Warrior while a peer would be a Bronze-Rank Fighter.
Low-Tier:
Kimura Tamaki, Bronze-Rank Human Fisherman
Lone Shadowdark, Bronze-Rank Human Warrior
Reynard, Bronze-Rank Human Expert
Standard-Tier:
Dragan Ashlord, Iron-Rank t.i.tanblood Swordmage
Kimura Taree, Bronze-Rank Human Martialist
Levi Wolfrider, Bronze-Rank Weretouched Warden
Maximus of Ezyria, Iron-Rank Dovahkiin Warmage
Naedrielle, Iron-Rank Elf Sentinel
Pale Invictus, Bronze-Rank Half-Elf Spear-Warrior
Sasarame, Bronze-Rank Snake Oracle
Tarquin Wroe, Bronze-Rank Human Hexblade
Tycondrius Charm, Iron-Rank Medusa Warlord
High-Tier:
Lucifer, Gold-Rank Demon Umbrella Meister
Seldin Korr, Iron-Rank Human Berserk Knight
Sorina Capulet, Bronze-Rank Human Calculator

GUILD TERMS
Adventuring Company - A guild of adventurers, traveling in a company. A company, in this case, ranges from a team (2-5), a squad (~10), a platoon (~50), or a proper company (2-4 platoons). Companies comprised of larger than 200 require a legal permit and are rare outside of times of war.
Dark Guild - A type of guild known for performing illegal acts ie. extortion, slavery, a.s.sa.s.sination, and smuggling.
Guild vs Company - These terms are usually used interchangeably. The proper use of 'company' refers to either a traveling group or the military term of 2-4 combined platoons.
Mercenary Company - An older term sometimes used interchangeably with 'adventuring company.' The term remains as, during wartime, adventurers were often hired as mercenaries attached to armies.

OTHER TERMS
Daeva - A human with traces of angelic ancestry.
Demonblood - A human with traces of demon or devil ancestry. Also known as devil-bloods. In this setting, demons and devils have a healthy rivalry, but are not hostile. Demons dislike being called devils and vice versa, but accept that commonfolk would not easily know the difference. Even current-generation demons and devils find it hard to tell the difference...
Dovahkiin - A human with traces of scalefolk ancestry, often specialized in elemental magic. Will be used unless someone tells the Author they can be sued for it.
Elf - A long-lived race that has mostly integrated with humankind. Known for being flighty. Elves reach physical and mental maturity at 110 years old.
Iredar - While mostly referring to furred Kobolds, the term is used as a catch-all for underground-dwelling humanoids. Includes Gnomes... but not Dwarves.
Irvhir - While mostly referring to scalekin Kobolds, the term is used as a catch-all for scale-folk with lizard ancestry. Several thousand years ago, the term Irvhir referred to what is now the Iredar. Historians are unsure or when or why the change occurred.
Mana Ward - A mans.h.i.+eld generated by Caster Cla.s.ses, who often do not have strengthened const.i.tutions like Martial Cla.s.ses.
Orc - Large, green-skinned humanoids who wors.h.i.+p their G.o.ds by engaging in "honorable" battle. To be respected in an Orc tribe, one must either be brutal or cunning-- preferably both.
Orkish Sugar - Black explosive powder. First discovered by Dwarves. First utilized by Orc Shamans. First weaponized by Humans.
Popoto - A gnome-sized, bronze-skinned humanoid, known for having cute, child-like appearances. Popotoes tend to have a high affinity for magic.
