Lowborn book5/24/2023 The people of Lys, both noble and smallfolk, resemble the Valyrians of old. The opposite is true in Braavos, where nobles dress in dark hues while bravos are brightly colored. In Westeros the smallfolk often dress in raw wool and dull brown roughspun, while nobles wear colored velvets, silks, and samites. Bastards with a lowborn parent can be called baseborn. They are far removed from the major players of the game of thrones, but are affected by those decisions, good or bad. In Westeros, they often name their daughters after flowers and herbs, like Violet or Tansy, and peasant girls are more likely to bleed from losing their maidenhead on wedding nights, as it is uncommon for them to ride horses. Instead of castle-forged steel or lances, they are more likely to use staffs as weapons. They use roads which are crooked muddy tracks that do not appear on parchment maps. Most smallfolk are poor, illiterate people living provincial, humble, and simple lives.
