Velhamiran Nobility Being of Velhamiran Nobility likely means that you are descended from a Behlminite - Artileo, during his conquest, left control over the minor holdings and territories to his loyal followers who were primarily from Behlmina. Due to this, the people that they rule over tend to have a level of contempt for these "foreign rulers" (I put quotation marks around foreign in that these families have lived and ruled for nearly 800 years, so they are essentially natives to the land now), despite whether or not they are kind or effective leaders.
There are a few benefits to being a nobility to help balance out your people hating you. For one, being of noble birth means that you live in a minor holding (fortress), and that you have a bit of money that you collected from taxes. In addition to this, you have a few personal guards that will assist you in any battles that you come across.
The nobility tend to be trained from a young age (about 11 or so), so they likely have a level of skill in sword combat that is above that of a lower-class citizen. But being that they are nobility, they were likely holed up in their fortress and so are sheltered - not understanding how things are outside their walls.
