Throughout the history of the Crystal World, hierarchy is a part of the world's fundamental decided by the Crystar, Dragnar. Though it may not be perfect, the Crystar believed that every life has a role and that role must be fulfilled for the world to function.

For many eras, the system of the inhabitants changed as the great conflict amongst them forces the sudden change for their betterment of them.

Origin era is where the first life of society was born. When the line between deity and mortal still runs through the inhabitants. In the origin era, the inhabitants were divided based on their divinity or the moment they were created and also colours.

In this era, both hopers and dreamers use titles to differentiate themselves from others. If someone uses their titles, it means that they requested the holder to act as their titles would be. It's also used when referring the title holder in a serious or respected matter.

Celestials are the guardian and God of the Crystal World. They're above the arches who maintain order in this world. The only known celestials inside the Crystal World is Dragnar, the Crystar and MoiRai, the Seraphim.

Arches are the first eight hopers and dreamers created by Dragnar. They're the angel and the guardian of their respective soul traits and species. Each of them has their followers that follow their teaching in the early stage of the world. As time passes on, these followers passed down their knowledge onto their children and the arches' job shifted to being a watcher and guider.

Each species has its own arches that will be explained detailed in the 【 Arches of Dragnar 】 and 【 Arches Partners 】 chapter in the Pandora Book.

Followers are divided into their respective traits and species and they follow their arches. Their roles are mainly to fill this world and served the celestials and arches. Usually, celestials and arches wear white and soft colours clothes to present themselves better.

For followers, the more you wear white, the higher you are than the ones that wear dark coloured clothes as it's deemed unattractive and not clean. It's more evident when the first 【 Monstre Lucifent 】 appeared. Each follower has their arches symbols and colours and is complemented by neutral colours and metals.

With the First Great War ended, sealing the fate of the inhabitants to a new society. Though it's for the good of the world, many suffered and wants nothing to do with war. Ah, but the lords are the leader and their guide to the righteous path, no? With the new world, rejecting their God for abandoning them, they took their own step to make the world they desire.

The overlords are the leaders and guardians of their own region. With each region allied with another to preserve their existence and beliefs. Overlords are the previous arches ruling over their region or followers. Unfortunately, not all arches survived and usually, their children would succeed.

Overlords are the general terms of these leaders. They could have a title anything they want and usually, they would have a second in command if they were busy or absent. A second in command could be their heir.

Each region has their set of rules related to how they dress. It would be explained in the 【 Medieval 】 chapter.

⤠ Example of Overlords titles:

⬦ Duke and Lord ⬦ High Priest and Priest ⬦ King and Prince

The barons are the nobles under the direct rule of the overlords. They help the overlords rule their respective regions. They usually wear their respective region colour. Their style of clothing also depends on their region and their overlord's liking.

⬦ 𝔊𝔲𝔞𝔯𝔡𝔦𝔞𝔫𝔰

Guardians are the protectors of the region. They serve under the overlords and barons and are considered almost the same as a baron. Guardians in each region are different and are an umbrella term for knights, mages, seers, etc.

They're usually sworn in and put a seal to prevent any betrayal of their oath so they would remain loyal to the overlords. Although, not all regions implement this method as they see it as a tyrant way.

⬦ ℭ𝔬𝔪𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔰

Commoners could be divided into the middle class and the lower class. The middle class are the working people under the baron. They're usually get paid little or sometimes never. Some regions put a believe that what they did is a righteous act when they cannot serve as a guardian.

The lower class are often slaves to the middle class and the class above them. They're never paid and their family is bound to serve their master's family. It's very rare for someone to elevate them by "freeing" them.

The inhabitants would use titles as a means to address themselves as their job is or to differentiate from others.

⤠ Example usage of titles:

⬦ Harcourt The Dealer ⬦ Eve The Fortune Teller ⬦ Alder the Soulsmither

Outcasts are the forbidden class. They're the lowest of the lowest in the class system. Often, they're even excluded from the class system. They're considered one of the darkest pasts in medieval times as crimes, non-boundaries, and disease ravaged through. Many unknown souls have been called the victim of the cruel class system. They're often neglected by the upper class and was left to defend themselves. Some are even left nameless and rot to death as they lack basic needs.

The classical era takes place after the Second Great War. The segregation between humans and monsters is most prominent as tension rises and breaks apart the alliances. As both humans and monsters revolutionise, the use of titles is not prominent anymore except for formal usage. The class system is similar in Modern Era but with variations.

As they approach the end of the 19th century, both humans and monsters start to modernize technology and are open to new ideas. However, the looming class system is still present to pertain order in this World of Crystal.

⬦ ℜ𝔬𝔶𝔞𝔩𝔰

Royals are the leader of each nation, although each nation has its own term for it. Because of the previous war, the leader does not have to be a descendant of the arches. However, those descendants are statistically more powerful than regular inhabitants so it would be rare for one to not be a descendant from the arches.

ㅤ

⬦ 𝔑𝔬𝔟𝔩𝔢𝔰

Nobles are the one who helps the royals control their territory. Its job is very similar to a baron serving the overlords. They hold some authority depending on the peerage. However, the highest command in action would be the royals.

ㅤ

⬦ ℭ𝔬𝔪𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔰

Commoners are divided into middle and low classes. Similar to how the Medieval Era classified these people. Although the condition of the commoners are better than the medieval times as they could open their own business and make an influence through the nations, rather than just between region alliances.

ㅤ

⬦ 𝔒𝔲𝔱𝔠𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔰

Outcasts are the same as the Medieval Era one. Even though this class should be "abolished", the inhabitants still refer to them as the forbidden class and not low class. Outcasts usually are not mentioned in any textbooks but rather a socially accepted class.

◈ Animus Book

The Animus Book is one of the two books or grimoires of this world that could alter the world. Covered with sapphire cover and protected by silver coloured metal, and decorated with aqua crystals. This book was made when the sapphire moon reached its peak and the positive magic or light magic become more powerful.

Being made with dark paper, the animus book is written by magic for magic, with the lucid text making its sapphire light like the starlights and constellations.

Though one must know how to open the book as opening it the wrong way will result in amalgamation or the inert state of the book. With the moon turned to its back revealing its other side to the light, that light opens the animus as The Abyssal symbol turns.

When using the power of the Animus Book, the book will summons diamond speckles and part of the Luminous Tree in a crystal form. Though that form seemed to be incomplete. Perhaps half of it was missing?

"The Crystallium alphabets seemed to be distorted for you. Perhaps you would have to encrypt it?"

Since the Animus Book is written by a deity and magic, the normal mortal would have a hard time understanding as it's written in the Crystallium Text. Crystallium text is the alphabetic word of the constellations as it's made of dots and lines connected just like the constellations in sapphire colour.

The Crystallium text could also be seen in many old temples and languages in the origin era. However, only the arches could understand it. When you look at the sky, you could even see the Crystallium text in the thousands of constellations illuminating the sky.
