Nobility, or the conception of it by the Races of Man, is a foreign concept to the Tretallë. Although there do exist imaginary boundaries in Tretalleri society, many of them are entirely incorporeal. The line between the commoners, the Blood, the Azure Blood, and the Great Houses of the Dominion is purely genealogical. The earliest iterations of a codified Dominion Law foresaw the possible trouble of allowing a small portion of the population to accrue a large portion of the wealth of the entire Dominion and took steps to prevent such a thing from happening. Although those of the Blood and the upper echelons of Tretalleri society are still wealthier than the average citizen of the Dominion, they are not so wealthy as to be untouchable by the masses. In fact, with the way that the legislature of the Dominion is set up, each of these two groups serve as checks and balances for the other.
This state of affairs is in stark contrast with the Elledynnë, among whom the largest portion of the empire's wealth is heavily concentrated among the social elites, with the Weeping Circlet itself possessing the largest sum of this wealth. Furthermore, poverty is an almost-invisible condition among the Tretallë. The populace, including the nobility, who are viewed to have a greater obligation to the poor than the common man, works together in order to ensure that the homeless are given temporary shelter and the means with which to pick themselves up off of the ground. This difference is again highlighted when taken alongside the Elledynnë who do nothing to aid the poor.
