The social castes are cosmic and locked in, tied to the reincarnation mechanic and the accumulation of karma, thus defined prejudices between the betters and the lessers is firmly defined in the setting. The noble caste consists completely of undead beings of various types. Kaidan like feudal Japan is a police state, maintained by the shogun and the entire caste of samurai, as well as the state religion, Zaoism (based on Buddhist thought). There is the tainted caste (Eta) which consists of foreign born families usually descendants of prisoners of war, that comprise a large segment of the population, and though not slaves are treated just as poorly, although they do have some wealth.So though you might not expect it, but there are published settings with some dark social commentaries and expectations built into it.</blockquote>
