The Middle Ages
Welcome to the Middle Ages, a time permeated with disease, pestilence, and war; but also, a time blessed with prosperity and order after a long period of unrest and defeat. Here, you will discover many kinds of people, including knights, peasants, squires, monarchs, lords, and maidens. But to distinguish between these categories, society must have a system of sorts; a hierarchy, a ladder, a chain of people organized into their distinct places. Thus, the Feudal System is born. Some think it justly right; others loathe it quite passionately. But no matter what end you are on, no matter where you fit in, you are a link in the chain. And whether you like it or not, your position will never change.
