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]].

Lothos was introduced to [[Sapience]] by means of war in the Battle of Lothos, although the city-state is much older than [[Ashtan]] or [[Shallam]]. It has an ancient rivalry with Scyros, another triton city within the [[Eusian Ocean]], with whom they war constantly. Other details of Lothos' rich history are known only to oceanic scholars and the Nerai, followers of [[Neraeos]], [[God]] of the Sea. | Lothos was introduced to [[Sapience]] by means of war in the Battle of Lothos, although the city-state is much older than [[Ashtan]] or [[Shallam]].
