	~~==Lesser Nobility in the Five Realms==~~

	Tirneach is an ancient place, and before the advent of the Réig there were other societies with rulers who traced their lineages back to even more farflung times. Although they have no official standing in the Five Realms, these noble lines are recognised for the purposes of becoming a gallóglach, if the aspirant can prove their lineage of course.

	~~===Siabhal===~~

	Most famous of these precursor nobility are the Ruby Families of the Realm of [[Siabhal]], named for the Ruby Court in the great city of Iomra. The Ruby Families claim descent from heroes of legend that fought against the Gwyllt at a time when the Gwyllt’s hold on Tirneach was all the more fearsome. The legends of Siabhal, preeminent among them the Legend of Lobhan, serve as a way of cataloguing the Hundred Heroes of Siabhal and the status of those descended from them. Noble folk from Siabhal generally style themselves according to their most famous ancestor, so “Cillian Mac Fhiona” or “Siún Nic Shiún”, referring to Fiona Who Slew the Red Prince and Siún Who Leapt the Flaming Wall respectively. Most of the Ruby Families count at least one Rider among their number, but some keep lands without one, which shows the status the Ruby Families have maintained in their Realm. The Iarla of Siabhal has always been a descendant of the royalty of the Kingdom of Siabhal, themselves descended from the greatest of the Hundred Heroes, the iconic Finian the Brave.

	~~===Baol===~~

	In the highlands of [[Baol]], the Clanns still organise themselves along the noble lines granted by the Amber King and Queen in a time forgotten. These are sometimes called the Courtly Clanns, recalling that the originators served in the Amber Court as advisors and war-chiefs. The leadership of each Clann is a mixed affair, consisting not only of Riders but also of those who study ancient mysteries, cinnirí of the Shaper and those who can claim an unbroken line of descent from the days of the Amber Court. Nomination from the highland Clanns to become a gallóglach is often viewed with suspicion, as the Clanns tend to regard anyone of their wider allegiance to become ennobled by their service. The Baolach highlanders have a reputation for being fierce fighters so their credentials are not scrutinised too closely.

	~~===Draíod===~~

	In [[Draíod]] the lesser nobility are not a forgotten thing, in fact they are all too present. The Council of the Saoi ruled Draíod before the Réig united the Realms, and many say they still rule. The Saoi are the foremost scholars and tactical geniuses of the Learned Realm, and they advise (not to say direct) the Iarla in their rule of Draíod. Each and every Saoi is also a Rider, and while there are Riders who are not Saoi, their holdings are always above ground and therefore deemed less important. This situation causes the Réig’s courtiers much displeasure, as all Riders are equal under the law, but the Draíodaigh provide much expertise in the Shaper’s arts so it is overlooked.

	~~===Uasa===~~

	The tribes of Uasa are not noble in and of themselves, but there are a few among their number who are recognised as having noble blood. These are the descendants of the shamen, the brokers of the original deals with the water spirits of the swamps and waterways of Uasa which protected the tribes from the Gwyllt in the terrible days before the Réig came and set Tirneach free. The water spirits are primeval forces left over from the Shaper’s act of Creation, and the bargains that were struck have left their mark through the ages in ineffable ways. Whether or not there is a link between the noble few of the tribes and the Riverborn, who in recent times have been conducting strange and gruesome ritual murder in the lands reclaimed from the swamps and rivers, many speculate but few are certain.

	~~===Drakeblooded and Leasiar===~~

	There are also those species that are considered more noble than others. Every [[Drakeblooded]] can trace their lineage back to the dragons of old, and the Drakeblooded Houses keep careful family trees and hold tight to their traditional duties. Even the most impoverished Drakeblooded is still related to one of the Houses and can rely on them to become a gallóglach... except in the direst circumstances of exile.

	The Leasiar are a unique case. Though the manifold lives of the Leasiar are poorly understood by other species, it is acknowledged that a single Leasiar could have been born noble or become ennobled in a previous life even if they don’t remember it, and so it is considered that the great deeds of the Leasiar as a whole species have ennobled them...at least for the purposes of risking their life for fortune and fame in the gallóglaigh.

 Riders who have been given a multi-generational grant are typically seen as especially high status. However, in some realms Riders who inherit their title are looked down upon by their peers. This is particularly common in [[Bruid]] where Riders who have inherited their rank are often only referred to by their family name until they are deemed to have earned one of their own.
-Under the law of the Five Realms all Riders are equal, which enables the constant squabbling and skirmishing over borders between them, but naturally those who have done the greatest deeds and who possess the most land have the most power within the Realm and sway with the Iarla, but even they are limited to what they can hold by strength of arms against the [[Gwyllt]] and their rivals/neighbours. Riders are strictly limited in the size of the militia they can employ, dictated by the size of their lands. Most Riders with smaller holdings must hire the [[gallóglaigh]] to deal with larger threats or to make their ambitions a reality. A Rider is expected to manage their own income, whether by maintaining their own lands or extracting tithes or rent from the people who live there.

The council is composed of the foremost scholars and tactical geniuses of the Learned Realm, and they advise (not to say direct) the Iarla in their rule of Draíod. Each and every Saoi is also a Rider, and while there are Riders who are not Saoi, their holdings are always above ground and therefore deemed far less important. This situation causes ongoing consternation from without Draiod, but the Draíodaigh provide much expertise in the Shaper’s arts so it has so far been tolerated.
 Every five years a Reckoning takes place in the Realms, with the Réig’s clerks circulating to a different Realm each year. The Reckoning is both census and ordnance survey, taking a record of who rules where and how many people they rule over. The official borders are thus redrawn every five years, and the strength of the Rider’s claims reaches its zenith at this time. The months preceding a Reckoning are called “the golden time” by the gallóglaigh bands, on account of the extra work they can count on as Riders set their sights on nearby lands.
