Ardan, as the nobles have "fled from Ardan", is a city located in Davar. As having just been occupied (and a large number of people fled from it to the other regions of the Union), I assume you were speaking of the city- and not a couple of nobles who have appearntly fled the entire country to what- Kalmar? ("Her feet took her closer and closer to the border with Veritas.", and I assume she can't walk on water.)
She is in what is left of Ardan, on Kelios's continent.
Sure there are some wealthy people, but the wealth is cemented in the hands of a very small minority when you speak of Ardan. Remember, Ardan is a limited autocracy- even under loose terms, barely 3% of the pop can be called "nobles". And these "nobles"- having wealth, if at all, would more than likey be Pirian and strictly Davian. What use would they have with a pagan girl with a funny accent? Davians are not known for their generoisty, after all.
Even the very wealthy are sometimes generous, if they can be convinced of tales. War tends to make the survivors more kindly. In any case, I don't think you can speak for every single person in your nation.
I'm merely trying to prevent all the barbs aimed at my people.
There are no barbs being aimed at your people. This is just some old and crazy woman ranting.
And, lastly, I'd like to point out that any Davian can be convinced that Kelios has an empress- very little is known about the world south of Tir, as Ardan's focus has been (greatly) drawn to her west for the last couple centuries.
Yet there has been trade between the nations further east and Ardan for decades as well, so at least some Ardan (that sounds stupid) ... Ardanese should be aware of foreign situations. In any case, the woman is old and crazy. She could right or she could be wrong. You're reading too much into things and taking too much offense.
Who says poor has to be a monetary value?
What else? Are your nobility spiritually poor?
