The pearl is the symbol of Lothos, as it is the [[Heraldic_arms|charge]] exhibited on their banner and their major source of economic prosperity. The pearl is represented by a single white circle on a field of black. Black and white are the official colours of the city. | The pearl is the symbol of Lothos, as it is the [[Heraldic_arms|charge]] exhibited on their banner and their major source of economic prosperity.

Lothos is a monarchy with two loose social castes: an upper/middle caste consisting of the royal family, nobles, merchants, and the Lothian military, most of whom are tritons, and a lower caste of servants, all of whom are [[merfolk]]. The relationship between the castes is not one of oppression; they live in harmony with one another and the merfolk seem content with their social position. The castes' boundary is also traversable: mermen and merwomen can earn rights to mercantile status, as is the case with [[Acrages]]. No racial animosity exists between the castes. | Lothos is a monarchy with two loose social castes: an upper/middle caste consisting of the royal family, nobles, merchants, and the Lothian military, most of whom are tritons, and a lower caste of servants, all of whom are [[merfolk]].
