Nobles are the bluebloods of high society, the privileged elite with the burden of rule. Most are born to their station, inheriting the lands and responsibilities of their forebears. A few are commoners who manage to impress a reigning monarch and are endowed with nobility as a reward. However they come to it, nobles are able leaders who observe the highest standards of decorum.
