- Main article: Ascendancy
Not unlike the American Dream, the dream of Ascendancy is the general idea that anyone can become anything they want and is held by many in the Realms. Much like in our world, this is an empty dream powered by those in charge to enthrall the masses to instill a sense of meaning in fairly meaningless lives. Like gambling or drinking, it is a carrot for people to hang on to a dream in a depressing, short, life while doing their best - which mainly helps others than themselves.
This myth lives on through many knightings ("for life") to Tyrospurs as well as the odd mythical attemt to create a Kingdom by Might.
Kingdom by Might
- Main article: Gentry#Kingdom_by_Might
A family or force can claim sovreignity at any time, despite not being a noble family. They can claim it over a small piece of land, a city or a larger area and become King (or Queen). If this claim is made, it needs to keep power over the main part of their claim (a city or fort) for 1001 days before the Register considers it a legitimate claim, and at which point it starts keeping track of its family and heraldry.
