These men were dressed in casual attire and approached with goblets in hand.
"Greetings, Dragon Slayers." One of them said with a smile, while the others nodded in acknowledgment.
Colin and his party smiled and returned the gesture.
It was worth noting that the system of nobility in this region differed slightly from that of Thousand Masts City.
Thousand Masts City had titles like Earl and Baron, and even further south, there were powerful dukes.
Here, however, all nobles aside from the Weston Clan were, in principle, of equal rank.
According to local parlance, they were collectively called "Vorakhta," which meant "the battle-worthy."
However, due to disparities in wealth and strength, the lesser nobles still had to serve the more powerful ones. Thousand Masts City, for its part, would forcibly assign them ranks using titles like Earl and Baron.
In short, the hierarchical system here was rather chaotic.
