[@ZB1996] Mmmm. I’d say the biggest impediment would be socially. On the hierarchy scale, serfs are pretty much some of the lowest on the branch. This means that they don’t really possess much of a reputation unless something happens to pull them out of obscurity, they don’t earn a huge amount of money or anything, and they typically aren’t invited to the big balls and celebrations and whatnot Erubesco tends to throw. Does that make sense? They basically could be thought of as retail workers, janitors, etc- not slaves, and they earn enough to support themselves, but they aren’t too notable in Eru society.
