Sure adventurers are 'special' individuals, but I certainly wouldnt agree that all adventurers cant stand their station and are outside a given caste system. Just look at much of the epic fantasy fiction, starting with Lord of the Rings (notably Aragorn) and then the work of other writers like Ray Feist, David Eddings and the like. Alot of that is with bunch of adventurers who are also rulers or nobility saving the world. Most of the characters in these works dont have disdain for their station in life. I myself have played in mre than a few games where the group has been quite involved in the social structures of a given world. Players be nobles in a given society and so forth.Instead there is the cult of the wealthy or famous.As an Australian my feelings on the issue are a bit all over the place. It must be noted that not too long ago, our nation decided to stay as a constitutional Monarchy.And whilst we have no liking for caste systems (be they based on bloodlines, fame or wealth) at least part of the population still has warm and fuzzy memories of the British Empire.I have to admit, whilst I myself voted to change Australia from a Monarchy to a Republic I was quite sad to here about what has happened to the House of Lords in the UK. Same with the loss of all the old currencies for the Euro.</blockquote>
