Keeper of the Lost Cities Wiki

The Nobility is a higher social class of elves who hold power and influence in the Lost Cities. Ruling the Lost Cities is a daunting responsibility for a small number of people; as a result, the Council created the Nobility to share parts of their workload - which is why special abilities are required for any noble position. Graduation from Foxfire Academy is also mandatory, as is making an oath of obedience and loyalty to the Council.

Members of the Nobility most commonly bear the title of Lord or Lady (though certain appointments come with the titles of Sir, Dame, Magnate or Master). And only nobles can enter the Seat of Eminence in Eternalia. They also wear capes to signify their position, and it's customary for others to bow or curtsy when greeting them - though only some members of the Nobility insist on such formalities. Many prefer to keep social interactions more casual.

The most commonly held positions are Mentors, Regents, and Emissaries, each of which comes with different responsibilities. Nobles can choose to resign from their positions anytime they wish, but few ever do. As completion of the elite levels at Foxfire is a requirement for appointment, noble assignments have always been held by adults until the creation of Team Valiant (an all-teen/early adult group of Regents).

Quote[]

“That’s why the nobility exists—to provide the Councillors with reliable people who can assist them with the projects they either don’t have time for or that require special skills. The title just provides you the clearance to access classified secrets and the authority to act on the Council’s behalf.”

Grady Ruewen, in Book 8: Legacy, page(s) 126, Hardcover
