Vertange Society: Common folk

The common folks of Vertange, divided as seen by the masses.

Vulgari

Patricians - Vertange-born merchants

Adsidui - Vertange-born commoners (mainly craftsmen)

Proletarii - Vertange-born workers (porters and such)

Peregrini (Probatory citizens)

Equites - Levies and mercenaries (civil soldiers)

Foreigners

Plebis - Newcomers, not born in Vertange

Big families in the Vulgari

The commoners amongst the Vertanger, those that keep the city afloat through their hard work, are no less vital to the city's wellbeing than the Fleurs Nobles. While the highborn sit in their villas behind elaborate facades, both physical and proverbial, the Vulgari are the lifeblood that make from Vertange not just a poet's city, but also one of the big three trade hubs on the coastline.

Among commoners and Fleurs Nobles, there is a distinction between those newly come to the city (the so-called Peregrini) and the proper Vulgari that were born in the city. This distinction also extends to rights and applicable laws.

One of the Vulgari would count themselves lucky to belong to one of the major tradesfamilies.

This layer of society specifically is known as the Patricians, those closest to the Fleurs Nobles as common blood can get, and they can get invited to many (but not all) balls.
When someone from noble blood feels the need to allow fresh cash to flow into their coffers, sometimes they will marry with one of the children from such Patrician houses.

Patricians

De'Campi - Large shops containing various foodstuffs [Wanderborn]

The De'Campi have connections all over the coastline of the Sea of Ends, importing and reselling exotic dishes from Perlis, hard drinks from Varstein or the smoked meats from Freicöve. Their caravans coming in are always a sign that the food prices in the lower city will be lower for a while, and the next festival will dazzle the mind and the mouth alike.

Ostari - Restaurants and taverns [Seaborn]

The Ostari run most of the quality establishments for commoners. It is frequently said that for every tapped barrel of wine or ale, at least three Ostari have gotten paid. More so than most, the Ostari have a finger on the pulse of the city, leading to many adventurers looking

for information in their establishments before turning to more official channels.

Adsidui

Guanti - Clothes [Wanderborn]

Resourceful and thrifty, the Guanti family can make almost anything into wearable items.
They clothe most of the civilians in Vertange, keeping costs low to ensure both a good turnover of their stylings (based on last season's highlights) and to keep competition out.

Edaeci - Architectural work [Underborn]

The beautification of the city can only be done by craftsmen who understand the true heart of the sandstone and marbles they are working with, and the Edaeci have this understanding in spades. From daring escapades on scaffolding to detailed chiseling while hanging from a spire, the Edaeci are the masters of the rooftops in the Lower City.

Proletarii

Camminari - Carriers around town, most gondelièri [Seaborn]
