Garlean Hierarchy / Naming -- "bas"

[Anonymoose]

That's strange; both of my lore books say bas (lower citizen) is above aan (non-citizen).

The majority of citizens bear the “Bas” title, and there is a smaller group which appears to be comprised of respected artisans who have adopted the “Cen” title.
