Ancient Races - Stonecutter -
Etiquette - The vast majority of Stonecutters are freemen and property owners. They are the farmers, the stonesmiths, and the everyday man. To go higher in the social order you need to become a member of the noble class. To do this you must be elected in special contests call the Trial of Stone. Those who advance become nobles and earn the title "Stonelord" and are allowed to live in great palaces of stone and help rule the lands. Crimes comitted by Stonecutters or outsiders can result in the person becoming a slave and being forced to work in the mines under harsh conditions. This can last a short time for minor crimes or be a life sentance for serious crimes like murder. The most serious crimes often earn the sentance of "krell" or being dropped into a huge pit of lava while bound from head to toe.
