    Yeah, but on the brightside, at least I don't have to worry about nastygram PMs. (But on the flipside I can't PM anyone that I like )

    I mean, even if Sharlayan is an egalitarian society, what is the price of loyalty? They still engage in commerce, and there's obviously a hierarchy, as I'm sure those 99 Forum seats are highly coveted and influential. While anyone may rise to them, and no one will be looked down on for their birth or name, I'm sure persuasion of the lucrative type greases all sorts of wheels still. Not saying that it's as bad as Ul'dah and the Syndicate or whatever, but like not everyone gets the water front property, if you catch my meaning.

    I'm also remembering that they have arranged marriage, via the Astrologian questline, so it's entirely possible that Ameliance is in a loveless marriage and also not in command of the family fortune. Of course, this also means they step out of the bounds of egalitarinism again by having pedigree comparisons/selection for who marries who.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
