Classes are not professions alone. They are social roles, shaped by culture, belief, and fear. A class describes not only how a character fights or survives, but how the world responds to them.
Common: Frequently produced and socially accepted
Uncommon: Known but limited in number
Rare: Feared, distrusted, or restricted
Exceptional: Legendary, singular, or story-defining
Rooted in land, memory, and fractured faith. Old Gods persist quietly. The One God presses from the east.

Magic is real but restrained
Most people live their entire lives without seeing a spell cast
Public magic draws fear, reverence, or violence
The One God’s miracles are political
Old God magic is cultural and dangerous
Fate does not answer prayers
Prophecy is never clean
Power always leaves a mark
