Screeta

Slaves of human blood are generally treated with more respect than the lowly Screeta although they are considered to be of the same social status. Vagrants, convicted criminals and petty thieves are among those of the Screeta class although newly arrived non-humans generally spend some time in this caste until they have proven themselves by either enlisting in the military, finding patronage from a Great House or gaining employment by someone of a higher caste. Those who do nothing to help themselves out of the gutter find a longer stay within this undesirable caste. While it may seem a horrible way to exist, some find that there are certain "advantages" to being part of the Screeta.
