It has no bearing in reality. It has nothing to do with anything outside of itself.It's D&D.Can you do other things with it? Sure. Eberron is a good example, but it's still a young setting and we haven't seen what's going to happen. Look at the Forgotten Realms. While many powerful characters were built into it initially, there have just been more and more and more.Exalted has a great quote about this type of thing in their book Salt and Blood. It talks about how the nobles job is to rule and that's the way it is and always has been. But those damn foreigners don't respect that so that's why the nobles have to have a lot of bodyguards. Exalted gets it.</blockquote>
