Lore / Realms of Bosom - Brestocratic Feudalism
“Value of your life is equal in size to breasts our Gorgeous and Joyful bestowed upon your shoulders.“
Brestocratic Feudalism is an established social system of the Realms of Bosom; society is divided into four classes, which is held by a rationale chain: “Planks mine for Yeomams; Yeomams smith for Muneles; Muneles fight for Queens; Queens make the Allmother proud.”
At the top are Royal Dynasties of Diarchy; White Queens as the supreme leaders of the Milkland, and Platinum Generals as the prime defenders of Her Heart and Mountains – it is what they are born for, its their Fate, to be most perfect daughters of Meora.
Lands of Her Gorgeousness which are under Protection of the Realms of Bosom are all in Responsibility of White Queens first of all – they are who ultimately decide and ensure Bosomian prosperity, as much as seen accountable by the rest of Meority for internal failures. Although the Queens are official leaders of the Realms, it is the machine more complex today than ever before and require attention impossible for just two individuals, and thus nowadays they act mostly as representatives in international politics and manage inner family affairs as Matronas, mostly as Lady Paramount in subinfeudation of Milkland, by subdividing and assigning Duchies between family members of royal lineages, who will rule and bear own Responsibility over assigned land as Duches.
Below are Munelity: families of Marchioness, Grafiness, Viscountess and Baroness, with Matronas as head Ladies of a family, entrusted with municipal fiefdoms inside Duchies, and answering to their Suzerain Lady Duches. Countless Munele families are of Tofar and Mawl origin of course, many directly descended from the Age of Crumbling, but after them are numerous families of Kovari, Erinar, Lerrels and Runiarns deep south, some Dova and Griffaurs, a few notable Ardem Va who become known for openly rejecting Thighology, and even a Herpi-Clan of Vermilion Jagers are called “Queens of all Yamervas” by Brestocrats (a statement better not say to Yamervas outside of the Realms).
With a fist of steel, but a grip of velvet, Muneles are obliged to master the art of governance and later act as top public or military officials for the family and fiefdom they have jurisdiction over: achieve objectives assigned to them by Duches, ensure the obligations of Bosomian subjects are met, collect taxes and maintain order, provide honest and fair administrative and civil services to the public, regularly participate in Breast Leisures and Dairy Duty, and manage further land tenure for flatter-class families when required.
Arranged marriages for various mutual benefits are common to uphold Munelity status, yet to honorably receive it first every individual of a contender family shall not just display the apparent value to Allmother in corporeal shape of a bust, but as well to achieve a triumphant accomplishments worthy of such bust, thus proving own commitment to Her expectations and accepting destined earthly duty.
Most salient and powerful families of the Realms form the League of Dames instead of serving in fealty of Duches. There, much wider administrative services are performed and majority of the Realm regulations and decrees are made. Their Matronas hold a representative seat as well as a governmental title in Mammary Court, but Bonfure-Terfar and Medali hold eight seats each.
Accustomary greeting tradition among High-born Bosomians is by grasping of each other’s left breast with a right hand, and parting by grasping of each other’s right breast with a left hand. Gesture of gratitude is demonstrated by squeezing own breasts with both shoulders. Bowing to display extent of own cleavage line to sistren of a lesser status is a gesture of dominance and command. Slapping of another’s chest is an act of insult and contempt. Flatter-born sistren obliged to look straight at superior’s breasts to be reminded about own inferiority and obedience, gaze shall not go lower or higher, unless ordered.
Third Class are Yeomam families. Some are just remarkable scientists and artisans, but the biggest of them are ranging from small manufactory owners to enterprise administrators. Descendants of these families are permitted to apply for prestigious professions of law enforcement, pilots, naval sailors, Munelity stuff and servants, and no less – supervisors, principals and judges above Plank workers, and many other similarly essential and dignifying professions. All Yeomams are liable subjects in fealty of local Munele house, and can ask to be awarded with an estate or a bit of land into own Responsibility. However, to retain their current positions, properties and status of Yeomam, they hardly go against demands from above in fear of loosing precious everything, but with greater genes and influence, they can as well be accepted into a Munele house through marriage or even rise up by themselves. Yeomams do participate in Dairy Duties, even for each-other, but not as regularly as Muneles and it is usually less formal, not even worthy of a gorgeous uniform.
At the bottom are Flat-born Planks. A serf class, who individually as replaceable as the name says and can contribute to the Realms only on foundational jobs: farmers, miners, factory worker, maintenance worker, construction workers – drudging labor that keeps Realms functioning. Beside that, they indirectly contributed by popularizing Bosomian culture, for example with many idioms from own daily life, like “Forever white lips” meaning a persons working very hard, or “She never tasted milk” which is the opposite – an utmost lazy person.
They are the only class who are not allowed to own many types of property, have very minimal freedom of movement or employment, and Planks residing inside Fortress Cities are forbidden from taking arms even against Hellish Spawn, as their lives are considered to be... not worthy to die in battle. The only right a Plank can keep is the right to be grateful when awarded for work, stare at a bust of superior Ladies and be reminded about how small is her own value to the Reams and Allmother.
