The Nobles Decision and Menes's Preperation

The man that had just spoken to Alexander was named Hysper and was among the biggest land owners among the gathered noblemen, controlling nearly 1,000 sq km of personal land- almost equal to Alexander's.

But one would have a hard time discerning the man was so influential just from his name because Tibias did not have a noble tiering system like Adhania.

Instead, all nobility were painted with the same brush- as Nobles.

Of course, in reality, the richer and more powerful noble houses who controlled vast swathes of land wielded a disproportionate amount of power in court, kind of like how a country's finance minister is far more influential than say the sports minister, even though they were both members of the parliament and technically hold the same level of post.

But this arrangement made things very hard for any outsider, for it was impossible to discern how important the person talking to you was.
