The meeting at Jano's house went smoothly, though I learned little I did not already know. Drakel culture was traditionally a strict caste system. At the upper rung were the Citizens, Drakel who were members of the K'eld society. Citizens served in all capacities of Drakel life but were specifically separated from the lower castes by their access to the K'eld. Below the Citizens were the De'me'thar. De'me'thar were denied life in the K'eld because sometime in their pasts, their ancestors had done something to cause their eviction from the K'eld. Drakel law was somewhat harsh in this regard: not only was the offender punished, but so was his family. It was a somewhat effective deterrent but the large number of De'me'thar living outside the city walls suggested it was far from a foolproof me
