yea, the people in practical armor are the ones still around....
Spoilerthe honor lord got killed for being inflexible in said honor....so did his son....the people actually adapting to the situation despite the dark things they have to do are the ones still around.....there is a power struggle after a king dies and when the succession is thrown into doubt.....and I can't really see it as high fantasy....I mean sure you can say that it is....but I can't really believe it, to me its very realistic and very low fantasy, thats my opinion, I'm sticking it to it.
